Maple, walnut, and cherry (and many other hardwoods) are good choices. For example, red oak is a bad cutting board choice because of its porosity. It’s best to use close-grained hardwoods for any cutting board.

The result is visually striking! You’ll have a cutting board that’s FULL of end grain bookmatches.
