First time on this site…got referred her from ‘Breaktime’ over at fine homebuilding. Anyway….

 I’m installing a kitchen and making a couple of breadboards. Was going to go down to Cross-Cut (local Hardwood dealer) and get some hard maple, but got to thinking about the IPE I have left over from the deck.

Anybody ever heard of anybody using IPE for a breadboard? Stuff is as hard as hades…which brings up the only negative I can think of…might dull the heck out of some nice knives. But is there any published (as opposed reactionary) information on food-to-wood safety issues?

Thanks
