I surprised my wife this month for her birthday with this new cutting board. The wood is cherry and I used my Detail Master "Dagger III" woodburner. Finished with food-grade mineral oil which really brought out the grain and color.
Thanks for the compliments everyone. My wife has been using this a lot the last few days with family coming over for the holidays. It's holding up surprisingly well. I think Cherry is a good choice of wood for this application.
