I've heard that some wood species can bleed into others in the sanding/finishing process. I would like to avoid this, if possible, when I set out to make a few segmented cutting boards. Would appreciate any input that any of you could provide on this, so I can avoid using those wood species. Thanks! Chuck

Bloodwood is another one that can bleed into other lighter colored woods.

Logwood (Haematoxylon campecianum) is a tree originally found in the forests of Central America. The dye comes from the heartwood

Logwood was one of the most commone dyes used in the 1800s and early 1900s until the toxicity was discovered and death by industrial revolution became a social issue. I have a few small pcs of burl and it is highly transferable (color)
