re: Oh no! Cracked cutting board

I think you’re right and in addition to that the wood database says ekki has a very high natural oil content which is bad for pva goes. The combination of the both probably had something to go with it.

Also, while trimming the board after it was built, I noticed a lot of moisture coming out of the maple as I was cutting it. The maple sucked in a lot more mineral oil than the ekki so I didn’t think much of it. Anyway, more moisture should have the opposite affect on movement, right?
