How are Acacia Wood Cutting Boards made?
Unlike domestic woods, Acacia is often harvested at a young age, which makes for smaller planks and wood strips. This in turns leads to many Acacia cutting boards being made using end grain or joined edge construction, which provides a checkered or styled look to the board. This has the effect of looking very similar to walnut wood, though true Acacia is a blond color and most of the Acacia seen in use is colored with a finish or food safe dye.
Highly plentiful, good looking and with fair performance in the kitchen, its no wonder why Acacia is quickly becoming a popular choice for cutting boards. Most importantly, Acacia is affordable. In short, there’s nothing not to like, which is why this wood is going to continue gaining in popularity for use in cutting boards.
