If you aren't ready to jump on the bag o' tools that Ridgid is

Anybody catch The Who? What happened to those young guys who used to play
those songs?  Was there any wood anywhere on that set?

I am looking to build a cutting board (for bread) which I want to make
out of a subway-tile like arrangement of dark wood blocks with some
light wood picture framing the board and for creating some letters.
The choice of wood should be hard (to minimize wear-and-tear from
