As bamboo is a very hard wood, it is not recommended for use in chopping boards. It will dull your knife much faster than other woods.
Ash is a very good wood for making cutting boards. The hardness of Ash, as mentioned by the Janka Hardness scale, is around 1300. This is soft enough not to damage knives, yet hard enough not to be seriously damaged by knives. Ash is a very light color, so it fits into most kitchens.
Beech's hard and dense grain is a significant advantage when using this wood for chopping boards. Not only does this property make beech wood chopping boards highly durable, but it also provides a smoother surface for cutting, reducing knife marks and potential bacterial growth spots.
