Product Description

The Chinese version of the cutting board, these chopping blocks are better than their Western counterpart, for not only are they anti-bacterial (as studies have proven), but the soft wood also does not dull knife blades like harder woods and plastics. Made of pine wood from the California gold country (Auburn/Placerville area). Approx.3" thick. Storage Hint: store chopping blocks upright (not on flat sides) so they do not retain moisture.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cracking & Splitting Wood, February 16, 2006

This review is from: 12" Chinese Chopping Block

Wuthin 4 days, this wooden chopping block had numerous splits and cracks. The seller suggested that the block be soaked in water overnight. After soaking, the wood was stretched and closed the cracks and splits, however, the block dried out very quickly and 3 days later, the cracks and splits were more severe. It seems as if the 4" thick block will soon be split into two or more pieces, making it useless. The wood which is the trunk of a tree is not suitable. NOT RECOMMENDED.

This review is from: 12" Chinese Chopping Block

I wanted a traditional Chinese style cutting board and found this one. It was the smaller, and cheaper version, and still had a pretty hefty shipping fee. At the end of the day I wish I had gotten a bigger size, the 12" just isn't large enough for me to work on comfortably. It is extremely durable and will last for a long time if cleaned and maintained properly. It came seasoned with oil and salt which needs to be done regularly to keep it from molding. Definitely not for someone looking for a easy to use cutting board, but a high quality excellent cutting board none the less.
