Product Description

Product Description

This top-of-the-line, rugged, natural-wood cutting board--Catskill Craftsmen's largest and best--is designed for the cook with a mission. Measuring 1-1/2 feet square, it provides plenty of room to maneuver, even to chop and assemble all the veggies for a soup, for example. At 27 pounds, you'll probably want to leave it in a semipermanent location on the counter, though finger holes are provided to assist moving. The 3-inch depth virtually precludes warping, while the end-grain hardwood is easy on knives. And all the while you're using it, your conscience will rest easy, knowing that Catskill Craftsmen products are made exclusively from non-endangered, self-replenishing, domestic trees.

Product Description

Chop like a pro using this thick butcher's block Cutting Slab, designed for your countertop, table and any area where you normally prep food. Made of hardwood, it measures 18-in. sq. and is a thick 3 inches. It features finger slots for easy handling, too. What's so great is its portability - move it to the patio for your barbecue needs or take it from counter to stovetop to sink when you're in the kitchen. Longlasting and easy to care for, the oiled finish simply wipes clean with a damp cloth. Do not soak in water for any period.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Durable, June 27, 2002

By	Mary Brandol (Westerville, OH United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this expensive board a few weeks ago because I thought it would last, since it's 3" thick. After using it two times and washing it according to recommendations (mild soapy water), the board warped and split. I was amazed until I read other reviews. Apparently, I'm not the only one having problems with this board. Don't waste your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super board - poor instructions, July 20, 2000

By	Paul Young (South Dennis, NJ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This board is jewelry for cutting and chopping fanatics. When it arrived I could scarcely believe the sheer mass and quality of the product. In addition to being the cutting board of my dreams, it's a work of craft art. In short, it's beautiful! I use a vegetable cleaver for most of my cutting and the solid "thunk" of the knife on this board as opposed to the annoying rattle of the plastic ones is an earthy joy. In addition, no matter how active your cutting gets, 27lbs. of wood is staying right where it started. Now for the criticism. When I got the board I bought some mineral oil and spent several days mopping the board with it until I decided it could take no more. I then used it for a couple of weeks and loved every minute of it. Then, even though there was no evidence of dirt accumulation, I washed the board in the sink with detergent and hot water (a two minute process)just to satisfy my germ hatred, dried it with a towel and put it on edge to dry overnight. To my horror, the next morning it had a crack! Not fatal, mind you, but as I said earlier, this board is jewelry and if it can't stand washing the manufacturer should tell you! Such are the joys and pitfalls of the best cutting board I've ever seen. Mine (too late) will never see detergent and hot water again. Be forewarned!

1.0 out of 5 stars It split on me too!, February 10, 2003

By A Customer

Amazon Verified Purchase

I saw the reviews before I bought it but I thought those people had possibly been careless. I apologize to them... mine split in less than 3 weeks of use and I did everything I was supposed to. Just the steam from a regular pasta cooking kitchen split it. It was beautiful but obviously it was defective. Amazon has been good about taking it back and I'm assuming I will have no problem getting my refund.
