I like the Blood wood. It didn't give me any problems. It is probably a little soft for a real cutting board but for what she will be using it for its fine

Re: Cutting board

Very nice looking but I just have to ask this. What construction did you use that will allow the expansion and contraction of the interior field? You appear to have a classic cross grain situation with your border surround. Unless I'm not seeing something, you will likely have the corner miters open up and or some other glueline failure.
