...update...Had it now almost 4 months. On 1 of the edges, there is a slight separation where the pieces are glued together. Main thing on any board is to keep it well oiled. I wash and dry the board immediately after use, and oil well once/month now. If you are not willing to do frequent oiling, do not buy a wood board. They are great, but need to be oiled regularly or they will separate with time. I love the heavy weight of the board. I have very sharp Japanese knives, they are not cutting up the board at all.
Only had it about a month, but so far so good. Nice and thick. This board 1 1/4" thick, the board it replaced eventually warped, it was only 3/4 thick. So worth the extra money to get a thick heavy board that will not move around when cutting. The main thing about any cutting board is to oil it regularly. When you order the board, be sure to order "Block Oil." I like this for regular maintenance of the board. I have tried others, like this oil the best. How often to oil? One brand I saw recommended once/day for the first week...once week for the first month...then once month. This is what I did with this board. However, since the board brand new and of course dry, for the first 7 days I oiled with plain pure mineral oil since you can buy in any drug store for a cheap price. After that, starting using the "Block Oil." Block Oil - Non Toxic Bamboo and Wood Oil Finish (Natural)This oil hard to find in the stores so recommend you buy it from Amazon same time as the board. We have very sharp Japanese knives, the board is holding up to them. This board on the Test Kitchen recommended list. Worth it so far. Bought this size as it fits nicely in our kitchen cabinet drawer.

Big, beautiful chopping block!
Big, beautiful chopping block! Perfect for cutting our homemade pizzas (14” round). Heavy (9 lbs), but easy to handle, and we store it vertically under the kitchen sink. It balances well on a 4” round plastic container top, so it airs out when not in use.As with all wood boards, wash them with a small amount of mild soap and water, then pat them dry with a towel (not paper, which sticks to the wood). Don’t submerge it in water or use a dishwasher, and do store it upright or vertically.My cutting board tips:When you first get it, wash it and let it dry overnight, then oil it before use, along the wood grain, using food-grade mineral oil with a soft cloth with no loose fibers (a piece of T-shirt will do), once a day for a week. Let the oil soak in overnight. After the first week, add beeswax cream after the mineral oil. Before you chop food on it – wipe off any excess oil and wax, wash the board with warm water, and pat dry with a towel.For the first month, oil it weekly, then once a month, forever.When cutting wet foods don’t let them sit too long on the board.If you see too many cut marks, sand the board down with a medium sanding block and then a fine sanding block, then re-oil for a like-new board.Don’t store it in a humid or wet environment, or too close to a hot oven.Don’t use serrated knives on the board.
