Everett Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Any hardwood species that are naturally green in color? Getting bored of the colors fir cutting boards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechwood Chip Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Poplar often has a green tint, but it's usually considered a problem to solve. Marc has a video about wood colors. There's some concern about using "exotic" wood in cutting boards. Many of the naturally rot and insect resistant woods contain natural toxins.

Whitebeam Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I believe that Greenheart is naturally green in color but very heavy (its one of the most dense timbers around) but a good potential alternative would be to fume oak or robinia / locust with ammonia. I am not sure how green oak will go but robinia will turn very green, a deeper green the longer you leave it fuming. Whitebeam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
