Product Description

Product Description

From the original bamboo cutting board company, Totally Bamboo, this cutting board is a beautiful, functional, ecologically sound addition to any kitchen. Bamboo is 16% harder than maple, making it an excellent cutting surface. Bamboo is actually a grass that grows to a harvestable height of 60 feet in about 3 to 5 years, growing as much as 2 feet per day. It has an extensive root system that continually sends up new shoots, naturally replenishing itself. It does not require replanting, making it one of the most renewable resources known. Totally Bamboo uses 'Moso' timber bamboo which is neither a food source nor a habitat for the Giant Panda. Totally Bamboo's cutting boards are assembled with approved food-grade glue -- none of their products are made with formaldehyde-based glue. No dyes or stains are used in the manufacturing process. The pleasing designs are created by using the naturally occurring variations within the wood grain. Totally Bamboo prides itself on using only premium hand-selected bamboo, innovative design, exemplary craftmanship, and fair labor policies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Time Saver and Beautiful, September 27, 2008

By	Elinor Woodhouse "E. Woodhouse" (Madison, Wisconsin United States) - See all my reviews

I never would have believed a wood cutting board could save so much time for me but this bamboo one does. My knives stay sharper and I get a much cleaner cut, especially with herbs and things like scallions. I bought some food-grade mineral oil at the grocery in the pharmacy section and that keeps the board from drying out and looking beautiful. I've had many cutting boards, including hard maple, and this one is definitely among the very best wood boards. I'll never use plastic again. It's beautiful too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the best cutting board I've ever had, November 1, 2008

By	D. M. Crane (Pensacola, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great product. A very nice weight and thickness for a cutting board and looks so attractive. Everyone who has seen it in my kitchen has asked me where they can get one. Things cut really nicely on it, and it cleans up beautifully. The groove around the edge is perfect to catch juice from things like tomatoes or meat. Love the product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Totally Bamboo Malibu Groove Cutting Board, February 19, 2009

By	Nikki (Ft Lauderdale) - See all my reviews

Looks great. Works well with my knives. Only thing I have noticed and somewhat concerned about is the appearance of 'shredding' on the surface. I.E., it appears that the bamboo is beginning to separate on the surface, leaving something like strands of fiber. I've only used the board 3-4 times. I hope it does not continue to 'shred'. Even with this concern, I plan to purchase another one of a different size.
