Maple End Grain Cutting Board

This is a very difficult cutting board to use. I can't decide whether to actually cut on it, an act which seems so inappropriate, or hang it on the wall and showcase it as one of our finer pieces of art......or more accurately, our finest piece of art. It's a beautiful cutting board. Been oiling and buttering it faithfully. Glad I bought the size I did. Anything bigger and I think my wife couldn't lift it. Love the feet.....stays absolutely in place on the counter top while working. Could not be more pleased and worth every penny we paid for it. Thanks for making such an outstanding product. The workmanship is incredible and we'll pass this down to our children, letting them fight it out as to who will get it!

Had a great experience with the board so far! It’s sturdy , well crafted and is slowly becoming my go to board !

I like it. I wish that I ordered it with the finger grip holds as it is way heavier than I thought it would be. It also is drinking up the oil that I applied 3 times now.

Totally worth the wait! The estimated turnaround time was very accurate. My two boards arrived beautifully packed and I’ve been maintaining them per the directions. Customer service was very proactive in letting me know that people in my cold region can have issues if they DONT apply oil and board butter regularly enough. Basically this board is going to serve you well if you serve it well. I keep my larger board out on my counter because it is so beautiful.

I received a large maple end grain cutting board and a smaller one. The large one is very well finished, ready for use. While natural materials are expected to have variations, this one has about 15% of the pieces with a small dark circle, perhaps an old aborted limb. If I'd seen this in person I likely would have switched to a darker wood like cherry, which would better conceal these imperfections. Since labor costs due far exceed materials, I wonder why the assembler didn't simply reject this small pieces, which aren't very expensive in themselves. While I couldn't make a board to this quality, I have done a lot of woodwork in the past, and I likely would have rejected some of the segments that were chosen.

The reason for 3 stars is that I think in this price range, the value isn't great due to what I think was an oversight by the craftsperson. Next time I might buy a board I can see in person, or if ordering from this company, probably pick a darker wood like cherry or even walnut, and I recommend avoiding the maple, which I chose for its durability.
