Actually, the capillary action of wood is antibacterial. It dehydrates the cells and they die.
Wood cutting boards are more hygienic than plastic.
Yep, read an article about not applying finish to cutting boards for this reason.
Also found out open grain woods might be better at preventing bacteria from building up, was always told the opposite.
Maybe at first, but I don't want my cutting board sucking food juices for years.
