Review on Catskill Craftsmen Super Finger Grooves by Becky Williams

This is the fourth end grain cutting board I have purchased from Catskill Craftsmen. The previous 3 were housewarming gifts and 1 was a slightly different size (12" x 17" x 2"). They are very strong and well made BUT you NEED to dry everything above the water and oil them LOTS and FREQUENTLY which was given to them as a housewarming gift told me they only started during the very cold and dry Northeast winter season, seams and tears between individual blocks of wood, after I had told him that he should always dry the boards with a towel immediately after each use, oil them at least every second day in winter, the seams were tightened again, when you oil them you can see that these boards immediately absorb oil, they will get wet with regular use, and when the water dries it will cause the individual wood. While the workmanship is superb, the nature of these boards, ESPECIALLY at this size made up of so many individual blocks of wood, requires special care, such as instantaneous Dry any water, that is, constant and plentiful lubrication. It is very heavy as it is made of high quality solid wood. So if you are willing to take proper care of this beauty, she will last for generations.
