Best type of cutting/chopping block

I THINK...they use the back side of the wood. it just seems to be the outer shell is hard as diamond.

I have no idea how fast sumac grows. I would just prefer to use something that can thrive despite our use of it. I don't like seeing massive forests reduced to prairies just so I can have a pretty cutting board.

Im not a peta or greenpeace freak but I do want to take steps to insure that my children have a place to hunt and fish.

Its all good Rich. Thanks for letting me know of the sumac.

Yeah, but it's NASSSTY wood. Freakin' stinks. Bamboo is all good. Personally, if yer wanting to ensure that, I suppose recycled plastic might be a good alt. for boards, maybe.

But a good end grain wood block could conceivably last for generations too. Longer than it takes to grow a replacement. Just plane it down every 20 years or so.

And you always succeed in that endeavor, Vlap. Leastwise as I can vouch for! ;{)
