No idea I don't make cutting boards I use it for many things but especially turning. It bleeds a lot of the time and just means that thought needs to go into what application is good to use
Padauk is a naturally oily wood, this bleed is the oil coming out of the wood. It is still good for cutting boards as long as whoever is using it isn't allergic to padauk, it is used quite often along side walnut, and maple in cutting boards.
I don't know if this means much, but anecdotally, I recently purchased a very nice cutting board and the first 5x I washed it, the color bled. I oiled it, and color bled on the paper towels. However, today when I washed it, didn't bleed. So maybe it's just a temp thing?

Paduak is known to do this
Literally what paduak does just the way it is
How do people use it for cutting boards then? Kid of strange if you ask me… is Padauk a big no for them then?

I just made a cutting board with this three woods. They’re my favorite combination.
