Choice of wood for a Cutting Board?

[Alan Lightstone]

Nice boards, Al. BTW, where did you get that branding iron? Much nicer than the one I use.

I practiced with it on the same material that I branded, in this case cherry. I used a small flame propane torch for 1 1/2 minute, boxed in a reference corner for the branding location with wood, placed the iron against the "wooden" corner, set the iron down flat with slight pressure, & held it there for ~ 3 seconds. Time will vary by wood type.

Thanks. Just ordered one. Now back to your previously schedule thread.
