Ok, so I'm going to join the ranks of the many who have made cutting boards for christmas gifts. However, I know that my wife dislikes the bulk of the end-grain cutting boards I have seen...but she does prefer the end-grain over the long-grain. So, how thin is too thin? I'm planning on a board similar in desing to the infamous woodwhisperer...not exact, but similar. I'll rout around the bottom, which will give the appearance of being a bit slimer, but how far can I take this? What would be the minimum thickness I should use (height from table up...)
The board will see normal 21st Century usage - cutting some meats, lots of veggies...but no heavy carcass chopping.
Thank you for your patience...
Gary
