Something without any or as few as possible open vessels or rays that Taliban
germs could hide in would be hygienically appropriate. I think that probably
excludes iroko. Box would be great and North Heigham Sawmills in Norwich
would probably mail order.

Subject: Suitable timber for butcher's cleaver
Forum
I would appreciate your thoughts on this: My local butcher has this family
heir loom of an old cleaver (possibly three generations). The handle is
severely worn and the tang and rivets holding the wooden handle sections in
place now protrude rather uncomfortably. I am reasonably confident that the
old wooden handle is made of Box, but I have hells bells job of finding some
seasoned pieces of sufficient size to offer as a replacement. However, I have
just been given a large piece of very well seasoned Iroko (its actually from
a park bench which is being renovated). My question is this: Would Iroko be
sufficiently durable to be used as a butcher's cleaver?
Thanks in advance
DW
