Exactly, I have had the experience and would not want anyone else to be in that position!

Some hard woods splinter badly also. Oak for instance, as does Ash. If I was going to make a cutting board, the most common hard woods that I would choose from would be maple, cherry, or even walnut.

Another thing to consider if going outside the norm, is to check to be certain the wood you use will not release any toxins into your food.

That's a wonderful point, and a great thing to point out.

If there are stains you can use, which I doubt, you can find them at woodworkerssupply.com. They have all sorts of obscure things.
