3.0 out of 5 stars A lot of work for Bamboo!, March 17, 2011

First off, this is an over the edge of the counter cutting board. The lip that goes over the edge of the counter is 2 inches, the cutting board itself is 1 inch thick. I bought this board specifically for the over the edge of the counter component, what a great food prep tool!

However, this cutting board requires A LOT OF WORK to get ready for it's first use. As with all wood products you must use a mineral oil to keep the bamboo from cracking and absorbing moisture.

This cutting board has not been previously treated with oil, it sucked the mineral oil up, the good news is it is a beautiful shade of bamboo when treated, a full shade or two darker than pictured.

The bad news as I was treating this product with oil, it started SPLINTERING!!!!! The inside of the lip splintered and a couple of the far top edges started chipping. I assume it chipped and splintered because it hasn't been pretreated with oil. I sanded the affected parts down and treated with mineral oil again (the first oil treatment should be done 24 hours apart anyways).

I now have a gorgeous over the edge of the counter cutting board that works beautifully for food prep, but oh my! That was a lot of work for it's first use! I've only been using for a month now and it is fantastic so far. This board as with all other wood products for your kitchen should be treated with mineral/bamboo oil every month or depending on frequency of use.

For the amount of pre-prep required for first use of the cutting board is why I'm only giving this board 3 stars. I would recommend seeing if Amazon Warehouse Deals has a Like-New version for purchase so you can save some money (they're generally customer returns). However, once the pre-prep is done and you are using the board for food prep it is definitely worth 5 stars!

This cutting board is the perfect size for the area between my stove and cabinet. It has a large enough cutting area that I can cut a large onion without taking half off of the board to make room like my previous one.
I like how the edge goes over the cupboard top so you can slide the food off easily.
The bamboo is hard enough that it doesn't get all cut up from the knife. I used it twice allready and it still looks like new.

4.0 out of 5 stars great design to keep from slipping, but add feet and oil, February 9, 2011

We've had this a couple of years and used it as is very successfully. WEe have kept it on our counter permenantly. It still looks new from 3 feet away. I guess it's the bamboo, because I have never seen a wood cutting board look so good after even a fraction of the use.

We bought one for my mother this Christmas. She said she put rubber feet on it. We did the same and now find that it is even more secure on the counter.

We have not oiled it as regularly as we probably should have. I think we've done it maybe 3 times. But we use it daily for all manner of prep and assembly. It gets a lot of moisture. Now we notice it is warping. I am now trying not to let moisture stand on it and am trying to remmber to oil it monthly. I'm not sure if this would have changed the outcome, but WHEN we replace it with the same cutting board, I will take better care of it.
