Wood combinations

My vote is for Jatoba (Brazilian Cherry). In the same hardness range and a reddish hue.

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

if design would allow i would go with some tight grain walnut in thin strips, cause we dont want much walnut in cutting boards, (softness and toxicity) , then use a GOOD oil ,one that has driers and resins(waterlox or general finish seal a cell), Formbys tung oil, or minwax poly oil), I think the walnut would give a nice richness, but would suggest using a polyurethane glue due to the diversity of woods, just my thoughts

Thanks guys. I don’t have much walnut left in the hole – but I just happen to have a very nice piece of Brazilian Cherry. I’ll have to give that a try.
