Maple Wood Edge Grain Reversible Cutting Board by John Boos Block - 24x18x2.25 Inches Review

Very strong, durable, beautiful chopping board I love to cook so it's perfect for me. Recommend buying oil and cream for the board to prolong the life of the board.

But it's worth it. I love it, just be prepared for its size and thickness. If you have a small workspace, go for a smaller size. 24x18 huge but impressive!

I gave it 1 star for easy cleaning simply because it's so big and heavy. If you have a large kitchen sink, you won't have a problem. Other than that, this is a great cutting board. It's extra large and heavy, won't slip on you and has enough space for all your slicing and dicing needs. I use it daily, if you have room for a large board that's the ticket.

This was an expensive purchase for me, I followed all the care instructions and every time I cleaned it it removed the stain and anything I wiped clean , colored orange. It bothered me so much that I stopped using it after cleaning it for several months and sealing it with mineral oil several times.

The workmanship is excellent, there are no gaps or cracks between the glued boards. It came in a well-packaged box with a meaty and sturdy shape that matches tight-fitting styrofoam lids. Save the packaging corners for storing this cutting board. It's big and heavy, and leaving it unprotected will dent its corners. The

The cutting board looks great. It's very well done. You see the joints but you don't feel them. Like any natural wood, the board requires maintenance. It is very important to regularly use the mystery essential oil recommended by the manufacturer. In the beginning (first 3 weeks) preferably once a week, then once a month. The oil penetrates the wood surface and protects the fibres. The so-called board cream contains beeswax and other natural ingredients and seals the surface. First use the oil,

I took this Cherry board after sending the same board back to Maple. The original maple block was returned due to large cracks, despite following the lubrication and care instructions (see the large number of reviews from people who have experienced splits). This cherry version has not yet been split, either by serendipity or due to some inherent characteristics of the cherry. It's a beautiful finish and I love how tight the board feels. It's also softer, which I like better when cutting. The…
