Wood has a natural ability to deter bacterial growth. See here: <a href="http://www.naturalhandyman.com/iip/infxtra/infcuttingboard.shtm" rel="nofollow">naturalhandyman.com</a> or do a search with the keywords "wood cutting boards and bacteria".

Would waxing be mainly for softer woods, which will form crevices for bacteria? I have a bamboo cutting board, so I don’t know if I need to wax it.
