Great little board, but be sure to oil it with mineral oil when you first get it. The way the board absorbed the oil, I don't think it was oiled during the manufacturing process. It's critical to oil your wooden utensils and cutting boards to prevent cracking, make clean-up easier, and maximize life. Plus if the pores are filled with mineral oil, they won't fill with juices from meats, etc.

After oiling it was a little rough, but a light sanding took care of the problem.

The well did a fine job of trapping juices from roasted pork tenderloin. No more messy countertops!

Does not seem to be properly and completely finished for use. As if no final sanding,
the edges were sharp enough to cut your fingers and full of splinters. Also did not seem
to have been oiled at all, very dry.

After the second use there was a 4 inch split through the well. Will attempt to
exchange and see if the next one is useable.

Wish I hadn't bought.

Love the deep grooves to capture drippings.

I applied lots of oil to season the board before using.

Used for the fourth time on thanksgiving and the board is warped, not sitting level.

It is still functional and I will keep it as it is not used that often.

But, what's with it warping so quickly? It is inexpensive for a carving board so I guess you get what you pay for.

Two months later past the return window: Used the board a fifth time ans it is now splitting down the middle.

Piece of crap but, again, you get what you pay for.

I'l be getting a much more expensive Boos as I have had great life span with their boards.
