Cutting Boards
I guess that I must relate my feelings about using quality products in the kitchen.
I think, in particular, my love of Myrtlewood and my purchases of various products made of that fine wood.
People, in general, think of Myrtlewood as a soft wood with almost no long term value.
They couldn’t have been more mistaken about this fine aromatic wood. This wood is stronger and more resilient than oak.
One of the problems with Myrtlewood is that it is not as abundant as oak or many of the other woods used to make cutting boards.
Because of this, the cost of making one of these fine boards is more than you might pay using one of the more conventional woods.
If, though, you take into consideration the length of time this board will be in use and the beauty and functionality it will bring into your home, the price is more reasonable than you might have thought.
I have found, during my long years of existence, that quality is not expensive, on the contrary, if you purchase something made cheaply and of inferior products, you will end up paying a lot more down the line. In fact, you might be so displeased with the product, that it isn’t used at all.
When you purchase something of limited use and value, you have just made yourself a candidate for complete replacement and that, after all is taken into consideration will probably end up costing you more than you would have spend if you had purchased the best product first.
