New Table Question (Cutting Board)

a stone cutting board is going to be rough on your knives.  It will dull them very quickly.

I think granite is popular.  I agree if you actually plan to cut on it then it is not the best for your knives.  However if you just want it to set hot stuff on and have something easier to clean I think granite or similar stone (marble, slate) will work well.  

My husband brought a sanatec cutting board home....Best product ever!  I have a large piece that covers pretty much the side of my BGE table.   Find more info here: http://www.professionalplastics.com/SANATECHDPE

So I just started building a table for my medium egg and was wondering what the best stone is to use as a cutting board once everything is completed. Additionally was looking to see what type of adhesive people have used to apply the stone to the wood. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Doing a very basic table pretty much identical to this one, http://www.scottmoore.net/projects/egg/ but scaled down a little to fit a medium instead of a large. 

I have a granite top on my table.  I will most likely use a wood cutting board to make it easier on my knives.  

As far as attaching the granite to the wood, silicone.  I have a granite slab (heavy), so it doesn't need much to keep it in place.  I placed a bead of silicone caulk on the wood structure, then set the granite on top.  I then ran a bead around the seam.  Pretty easy to do, even for someone not extremely handy (such as myself).
