Are you looking for a cutting board made
from wood that looks great, doesnt warp,
split, come unglued when exposed to
moisture, is extremely durable and
doesnt diminish hardwood forests by over
cutting? Mesquite is the wood to
consider, it is one of the best woods in
the world for wood cutting boards.
Mesquite is extremely hard. The Janka
(or side) hardness test measures the
force required to embed a .444 - inch
steel ball to half its diameter in wood.
It is one of the best measurements of
the ability of a wood species to
withstand denting and wear. For example,
Mesquite is harder than hard rock maple.
Mesquite has a Janka hardness rating of
2345 compared to hard rock maples rating
of 1450. Mesquite is also harder than
mahogany with a rating of 2200 for
Santos mahogany. Consequently, since
this board is made of end grain (about
10% harder than horizontal grain of any
wood) in addition to being Mesquite
means it has an extra hard surface.
Although the surface is hard, knives
stay sharper on end grain since blades
are not pressed against horizontal wood
fibers, but between the ends of the
fibers like cutting on the top of a
compressed brush. Beauty, stability and
durability make Mesquite the best wood
for butcher blocks and cutting boards
that can be passed down for generations.
Why buy cutting boards made from the
same unstable woods everybody has in
their kitchens and risk having to buy
another one in a couple of years?
