Hey, need some green wood for cutting boards (Christmas is coming you know). I am going to try out the end grain boards like dewoodwork made in his blog. I can’t seem to find Lyptus at the moment, I know poplar heart wood is an option but what other woods are green?

Poplar has some green component but probably not as dark as you need.

I don’t know how well dye would hold up in a Here’s a site that has photos of thousands of pieces of wood.

You may find some Poplar that’s green, but you may have dig in the pile for some.

There is a wood called green heart, like purple heart, red heart, yellow heart.

I don’t know how easy it is to find nor do I know about the intensity of the green.

Thanks,
I picked up a piece of poplar and a piece of Ipe today, should do the trick.

There is also a green curly mango that is a very nice green color….I’ve seen some of it going on ebay….it’s a native of Hawaii I believe.
