Wooden Chopping Board.
47 Answers
I am thinking of making a kitchen chopping board out of a slab of Mahogany 1" thick. It would be used for preparing/cutting vegetables, meat, fish, poultry etc.
My questions are:
1. Would I have to pre-treat the board with something like Almond oil ?
2. Is the intended use of several food items on what is, essentially, an absorbant surface unwise for food hygeine reasons, even though it would be thoroughly cleaned after each use with something like Dettox ?
Advice/suggestions welcome.
Cheers.

Mahogany is an excellent timber for a chopping board. Smooth the surface well with fine grained sandpaper and then apply a coating of vegetable oil such as sunflower seed. Incidentally , wooden boards are far more hygienic than plastic. Worth a read of the following links :-...
