I don't want to be preachy but I'd like to take this opportunity to draw everyone's attention to the sustainability of rare hardwoods.
I could talk at length about the socioeconomic impact of rare hardwoods as well as the environmental impact, but to keep it short, the wood database has a good article on the sustainability of darkwoods.

Very interesting read - thank you. I wouldn't want to go the plastic route but it's well worth keeping all of this in mind.
Most beautiful cutting board I've ever seen! Would be afraid to cut on it
Looks great man. Purple heart is also a good choice for end grain cutting boards
I thought about it! I liked the idea of the red/black contrast a bit more though. It was also a wedding gift and so Red Heart just sounded good for that
