What wood is best for a cutting board?

On kitchenknifeforums and across the reviewers we read, hard maple is rated the most durable and reasonably knife-friendly, walnut sits in the middle, and cherry is easiest on edges. Teak and acacia are praised for moisture resistance but some specialists on r/Cuttingboards question whether teak and softer acacia subspecies belong on the short list of ideal cutting woods.
