The GO-TO Board in My Kitchen! July 1, 2008
When I received this board I was amazed! So sturdy, so functional and so nice to look at! I ordered one for my parents right away! It has been a main-stay in my kitchen for years now!
Can't get to much better than this!!

Fabulous - I finally found it! January 11, 2007
I had been looking for this kind of chopping block for over 3 years! It looks great in my new kitchen; it doesn't move around when my hands are full; it is a far cry from the flimsy chopping surfaces that seem to be everywhere. I would highly recommend this product. After thoroughly cleaning it after each usage, I keep it looking good with just a little mineral oil every once in a while. I have received so many compliments on it. The price was right and it came very quickly.
Awesome board! Be sure to seaon it before use. January 13, 2005

Wonderful! The height of it is perfect for our counters which are low to us (we're tall), so it makes it more ergonomic for us.
Yes, it's very heavy, but I don't see that as a negative. I was looking for a substantial one. I just bring my pans to the board to unload the food. I would not bother trying to carry the board across the kitchen. It doesn't move on your counter even remotely and it looks beautiful.
Make sure you season this board with mineral oil and paraffin before use so it doesn't absorb any odors or bacteria. Here's how I do it:
In a double broiler (or a bowl over a pot of boiling water), melt 10 tablespoons of mineral oil and about 3T of paraffin (comes in a block at the grocery store) until the paraffin is completely melted. Don't melt it directly over heat, as the paraffin has the potential of being flammable.
Immediately after you remove it from the heat, pour 1/2 on the cutting board and quickly--in the direction of the grain and in long strokes--rub it in with a lint-free cloth. I put 3 thin coats on mine and water beads like a freshly waxed car :). Let it stand overnight and buff with a soft cloth and you're good to go.
I tried doing strictly mineral oil and I ended up having to remove the feet, drill holes and attach the feet to the opposite side for use due to the odors that I couldn't get rid of on the side I was using. I would strongly suggest using paraffin; it's wonderful and won't hurt you.
 Very Tough But Soft on Knife's Edge June 30, 2001

I got this board a year ago, and it still looks good on my counter. So far, I only had to add mineral oil twice in the year. I used it to chop heavy stuff, and it's very sturdy yet it has an excellent "give" on my $100s knife's edge. The only setback, is during cleaning time, it's very heavy (good way for weight-lifting exercise). If you chop a lot, and love your expensive knives, this is the only board you'd ever need for everyday chopping.
