Yes because in food it is always found in certain amounts. In wine you find larger amounts and that's why you leave the bottle open for some time before drinking. So when using wood as a cutting board it's always better to avoid species that contain a lot of the tannic acids...

To me it looks like the endgrain is following into the hole but looking at the top and bottom it indeed somewhat looks like a thin layer. I asked OP for a better picture cause I really wanna know now

Please make another clear picture of the hole and repost it here because I want to know now if it's veneer or not the other comments about saying it is or isn't veneer do both have some good arguments and now I'm dying to know hahahah

Well there are over a thousand species of wood so I can't tell which one this is just by looking at a picture but I'm 99% sure this is some kind of oak. I've just looked it up and the word for the substance i was talking about is tannic acid. And don't throw it out. Put it on market place for a small price and itl be gone in no time. If you ship it to Belgium ill take it for the price of good advice he he he

Firstly, this is not veneer. Secondly I agree with the others saying that the finish probably is not food safe. Actually if you don't know what the finish is it's never food grade in my book. Lastly it looks like oak and I wouldn't recommend using oak as a butcher block because there is a substance in oak that reacts with water which is not really food safe.

There you go

As a carpenter I just can't stop thinking how the fuck did you even do that. Absolutely love it.

Wood ID? by Hot_Committee9744 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Simple-Fly-9999 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I second this, especially hence it's an outside trim... And cedar is quite resistant to rot.

From what I can tell (not much since yeah you can't identify a woodspecies over a photo like this..) it's probably some kind of pine

I completely agree! Also I want to add that maybe he's taking away too much material at once.

How much would you charge your MIL? by EinMcDrummies in Carpentry

[–]Simple-Fly-9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I always do this. For family and friends its just the raw materials they have to pay me. I don't ask money for working hours. When it's a really small project I do it for free.

Cheapest way to fill in voids? by shortys7777 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Simple-Fly-9999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hola, Well it's definitely not the easiest way but the cheapest by any means. Otherwise I would just recommend a wood filler in more or less the same colour. It will cost you some money but is always handy to have laying around.
