I wonder if you could provide the same information for Sapele. I did make an end grain cutting board out of it and it seemed to work well and my research did not uncover any unsafe issues regarding its use in this application.

Hi Lyle, on earlier drafts, I did have pine, but when trying to summarize it down to the same format I had for the other woods, it was creating a whole new category of wood listings that was dominating everything else. It was at that point I pulled the plug on pine so that I could finish the rest of the woods that I did have. May I suggest you check out this article that covers pine woods very well. https://www.wood-database.com/pine-wood-an-overall-guide/

The only issue I saw was the mixup of the scientific names of silver maple (Acer saccharinum) and red maple (Acer rubrum).

The only thing that I’ve ever used it for is spacers for stacking wood for drying. I have a friend who makes stakes for construction fencing with it. It’s very soft.
