Similarly unstable
Yes in that they are both quite unstable, although that seems to go with the fine grained woods that are suitable for cutting boards.
Watch the grain pattern (avoid gluing veritcal to flat) and it should be fine. The Yerpeans use beech for everything, and it is quite popular for food-contact kitchen implements like wood spoons and rolling pins.
