[Strawbale] Natural, inexpensive kitchen cabinets

[David Neeley]

Tempered glass also often has uneven bits where the glass tempering facility
was not clean enough and tiny glass "fines" stuck to the surface of the hot
glass. This makes it easier to scratch the glass were you ever to try to
clean it with a scraper or razor blade, for instance.

The glass would not be an improvement as a surface over the concrete itself,
in my opinion.

On the other hand, making an inset for a wood cutting board (so the board is
removable for cleaning or when it must be replaced) would be a superior
solution, I think. In addition, if that board were used on both sides--one
for meat, one for vegetables--it would be even better (or consider having
two cutting board surfaces for the same purpose). The health folks say you
should not cut meat on the same surface where you cut veggies, after all.
