I just wish my partner wouldn't leave wooden chopping boards or spoons soaking in water overnight. Want to get a somewhat decent one but I know it's inevitable.

Maybe I should just buy some nice hardwood board and cut one to size and use that as a choppig board. A lot cheaper than buying something labelled as a chopping board.

Find a local wood shop and ask if they have any hardwood scrap pieces. I got a bunch of small pieces of red oak for free that work great as a cutting board

I don't even know what a wood shop would look like. B&Q or Wickes sell timber but I think it's a fairly limited selection, mostly just different size/shapes of softwoods.
