Food safe woods - 6 replies I know that cherry, walnut, maple and oak are good for making cutting boards. But what about Paduck (spellcheck). I am in the process of making an end grain cutting board with paduck in it. My local wood supply shop said it would be okay, but I would like a second opinion. This is a paying job and I like to NOT kill the client! If the answer is ... |
