This was a wonderful surprise! I dont usually buy a TV personalitys products.  I have found that you pay extra for something that is not that special. I am so glad I bought this cutting board. Its getting so difficult to find a thick cutting board and thats what caught my attention here. This cutting board is the perfect thickness. Its not so heavy that its cumbersome  but it definitely provides the substance you need to feel confident when cutting, chopping, dicing, or slicing. It came already treated with oil and with instructions on how to take care of it. Follow the instructions and it should last for years.
