I came across the most interesting thing the other day -- a bamboo cutting board. Never seen such a thing. When I got it home, I discovered it was tougher that my maple cutting board and the fibers in the bamboo stood up to all of my knives without leaving any marks.

I have long thought bamboo was one of the most under utilized things in the western world and this confirms my suspicions!

Buy environment friendly Bamboo, a renewable resource.
