    Makes it easier if you hang them first - they still struggle but can't do much about being drawn because their hands are tied, legs are off the ground, but still aware of what is happening.

    Oy Vey !!!

    I FINALLY finally have moved the "Censored" Glass cutting board that the wifey loves so much, to "Glass Tray Duty", the EVOO, Balsmic Vinegar, Salt & Pepper and Cooking Utensil jar now sit prodly upon it next to the stove.. It no longer wrecks every knife she cooked with

    Took me 2 years Charlie to get her to stop

    I still cannot break the Swiss Miss of using the sharp knives to cut a piece of pie from a glass baking dish. I keep telling her we are ingesting the glass shards from the scratches easily seen on the dish.

    Futility, utter futility. But, she does make a world class pecan pie.

    Glass cutting boards and ceramic tile floor don't get along, they don't alway break the first time though, sometimes you need to "drop" it with a little more effort. Sorry honey! The other one that gets me is sharp knives in the dishwasher. However I am only home 6 months of the year at best.

    I made one out of a chunk of kauri about 20 years ago, not the sort of thing you would wear out in a hurry. We have a few plastic boards but I am not a fan. The wife has a couple of glass ones for cheese, and the matching blunt knives. Butchers block with the end grain would be the most forgiving on the edge of your knifes I think.

    I "accidentally" dropped a cast iron pan on my wife's 2 day old glass cutting board, dang the luck! My wife mostly uses our stainless Wusthof knife set in a block by the stove and leaves the nice carbon steel knives alone...which is fine with me. I really want to pick up a good end grain cutting board of some substance one of these days...or just make one.

    What woods "would" make the best cutting boards with all things considered?
