Review on 🍒 Premium John Boos Block CHY-R01 Cherry Wood Cutting Board - Reversible Edge Grain, 18" x 12" x 1.5 by Tom Herman

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
