Gewaltiger, wunderschöner Schneiblock. Traumhaft verarbeitet.

it looks really good a little heavy . I am very happy with it . cost a lot but beauitful.

Thick enough that it hopefully won’t warp easily(we’ll have to see of course), just make sure you dry and treat it with oil and/or waxPic 1 - Here is my 8 inch chefs knife on it before adding oilPic 2 - After I coated it with boos mystery oil, don’t have to use a lot because you’ll need to let it sit and then wipe off the excess, 24 hoursPic 3 - love the handle, just big enough to make flipping and moving it that much easier, especially if you plan on drying it right after washing (which you should do to prevent mold and warping)

Simply the best in cutting boards. We treated it before use with a light coat of mineral oil. We purchased the walnut board. It’s a heavy weight board and well worth the money. Easy to clean and extremely durable, it’s the last cutting board you’ll ever buy! Love it!

Amazing board but it was just too big as we live in a condo but I gifted it to my sister in law who has a house so I'm sure she will enjoy it. It's a beautiful cutting board

As advertised and top quality!

These chopping boards arrive parched.  I bought a bottle of cutting board oil, used the whole thing on mine within a few days and then had to buy another.  I'm halfway through the second, much larger bottle (see photo) with no end in sight.  I slather my board in oil and a few hours later it has totally absorbed.  It's been a couple of weeks since I purchased it, and I'm still oiling it several times a day.  I'm waiting to see if it ever gets to a point where it has had enough.  Lol.  The cherry wood is changing as it rehydrates and has darkened and become even more beautiful.  Based upon how much oil mine is drinking, I think I understand why people are experiencing cracks.  I also notice that one part of the board is much drier than the others. If you're not willing to oil yours like crazy, several times a day, for a few weeks before you start using it, this might not be the board for you.   The wood arrives very dry and the moisture content between the pieces of wood seems uneven, based upon now they are absorbing oil at different rates of speed. If you live in a dry climate, once you remove it from the plastic wrap, this is only going to get worse without proper care.This board will last you, but it's going to need some serious TLC in the beginning, before you can rely on it.  I'm kind of enjoying watching this process unfold, but I can see how people who (understandably) just want a cutting board to use upon arrival will be disappointed.

Update: I have now had this board about 21-22 months. I use it every day and have had absolutely no problems with it. Season it well and oil it about monthly and it should last a long time. I still recommend the oil and application tool over the paste.My board arrived and I'm in the process of applying the oil and cream treatment pre-use. It is a beautiful board with no gaps or cracks. there is one tiny dent. Applied the first coat of oil and allowing to sit overnight. There have been so many reviews about cracking that I'm going to do this right and then update as needed.Update- it took several days of oiling both sides, allowing to soak in overnight and then repeat. Then did the same with the cream though not as many time. The process probably took two weeks. I now reapply oil at least monthly. I cean with wet wrag while it sits on the counter rather than carrying to the sink. No signs of cracking.Final commentsI really like the application tool. It seemed spendy but it is convenient. It allows even application but i still use a paper towel to wipe off excess.Don’t care for the cream and now that I am past the initial seasoning, I just use the oilI debated over getting the larger size, but found the 20x15” is perfect. It allows me to create piles of cut veggies and still have space for cutting more. No more need to move each cut pile to a bowl to make space for cuttingI recommend this product over all

Board looks great after the oil treatment

We just purchased two more of the 24 x 18 x 1.5 inch versions for permanent use on our main kitchen counter top on each side of the sink. Prior to this we had one of the 24s and a smaller version in these permanent roles. However, we failed to keep tabs on water getting under the boards from spillover from the sink during clean up and preparation. As a result of over a year's worth of contact with this spillover, both of our original Boos Boards soaked up a lot of the water over time, and began to warp, split and on the larger 24 inch board, got a bad case of mold on the underside! Yikes! We had NO IDEA this was happening this badly until it was too late!Even with a thorough oiling using the Boos Mystery Oil before we originally placed the boards down on the countertop, and several times thereafter, the water issue still managed to eventually destroy our original pair! Because we keep these permanently on the counter, and due to their size and weight, we did not remove them each time we were done with them. The boards make a far better countertop than the Formica countertop they are sitting on top of!This water damage was definitely not the fault of the product since they warn you about just such a potential problem. Maple does soak up stray water if given the chance! However, during normal everyday use it is virtually impossible to prevent water from getting under these things if you lay them directly on your countertop near your kitchen sink area, even if you think you have wiped all of it off the bottom of the board! The other problem we ran into is that our kitchen countertop is not perfectly flat, so both boards wobbled a bit and we had to place a piece of felt under one corner to keep them from teetering while we used them. VERY annoying trying to cut on a wobbly cutting board!WE CAME UP WITH A GREAT SOLUTION FOR ALL OF THESE ISSUES...SCREW ON RUBBER FEET!! :o)I got the bright idea one day while I was attempting to sand the mold off of the bottom of the 24 inch board. If I could get some REAL Rubber feet and screw them to the bottom of the board in each corner, then the board would be elevated off our kitchen counter and any water that spilled under the boards would not come in contact with the wood! So... I ordered 18 one inch diameter, half inch tall screw on rubber feet from Digikey.com and picked up some wood screws and fender washers from the local hardware store. Drilled a pilot hole for each screw about 1 inch in at each corner of the underside of the 24" board and then screwed the rubber feet into the board on each of the four corners.Viola! PERFECTION!!Not only did the board feel like it was "glued" to the countertop now thanks to the rubber "grip" action of the feet, the board was far more stable with just the hint of a little "spring" when you push down on the surface and even when you chop on it! (This is a good thing!) More importantly, we now have the piece of mind in knowing that we no longer have to worry about water getting under our expensive cutting boards and ruining them! The other fringe benefit for us is that the slight wobble we noticed in the boards due to our slightly warped kitchen countertop was GONE with the addition of the feet! I had been fully expecting to have to "shim" one or two of the feet on each board with additional washers to compensate for this problem, but with the feet firmly attached to the bottom of the board, it rested perfectly level and stable on the counter on BOTH SIDES of the sink! No shims needed! :o) I should also mention that with the large 24" boards, the feet are well out of the primary work area, so you can still flip it over and use the other side of the board for work if you choose, although definitely don't add these feet until you are sure you are going to keep the board! Obviously, no one is going to take it back if it has screw holes in it! ;o)Totally pleased with myself for coming up with such a great solution to our water problem that made us hesitant to replace our water damaged boards, I promptly ordered these two brand new 24 x 18 x 1.5 inch boards from Amazon and installed the rubber feet on both of them before I even oiled them up and placed them on the kitchen counter. Both look great and are providing a solid, sturdy chopping and cutting surface as you would expect from Boos! Adding the rubber feet made a HUGE difference in the "feel" of the boards when you cut on them. I highly recommend the technique to anyone out there who has had the same water logging issue in their kitchen! We have since taken our original 24" board out to the BBQ and will now use this somewhat war weary looking Boos board out on the back deck. Even with all the water damage, with the rubber feet installed, the darn thing still makes a great backyard BBQ cutting board!Bottom line... If you want one of the best solid wood cutting boards made today, this is the brand you want! They are also made in the good ol USA!
