Recommended species (non-exhaustive list):
- Oak: highly resistant to moisture and impacts, refined grain
- Beech: hard wood with beautiful grain, resistant to wear
- Hevea (rubberwood): excellent value for money, uniform texture
- Bamboo: eco-friendly and naturally antibacterial
The choice depends on your budget, the desired style, and usage intensity. All these woods require an appropriate food-safe finish to ensure longevity. The recommended thickness is 40mm to guarantee stability and resistance to kitchen stresses.
