Looking at another recent thread here I was touched by the attached photos of the board and the cute little helper putting the final touches on a nice board for somebody's dad.
I used to make a few cutting boards with scrap wood in the past but then came along the health questions around using wood and not plastic. Like many others, my wife and I leaned towards plastic thinking we could put them in the dishwasher or spray them with a bleach mix and be on safe street??

Here's a site that makes me wonder? I don't have the science background to debate the merits of wood over plastic but I would make a few more if I was convinced they are as germ free after a good cleaning as the plastic coming out of the dishwasher.
Thoughts?
