Review on πŸ”ͺ Ironwood Gourmet 28218: Premium Acacia Wood Square Charleston End Grain Chef's Board (14") - High-Quality & Stylish! by Heather Green

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pretty - requires LOTS of oil for first use

My board is very pretty and has no glue drips as some reviewers have noted. I was prepared that it takes a lot of oil based on another review I read before buying. True, the thing has sucked a ton of oil in the last few days since I started the treatment. Every time I apply generously, I come back a little later and it all soaks in. I've had other wooden boards in the past and none of them soaked up that much oil before becoming fully saturated. This isn't a disadvantage, just make sure you have enough mineral oil to give it what it needs before using it. I think I'm finally getting closer to a full cure. The color is very rich and beautiful. Can't comment on durability or longevity yet, but I'm happy with the look of the board. It is very smooth and the rounded beveled edges are smooth and delicate.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Style 90
