I recently bought this cutting board because I was dire need of something that would allow me to chop, cut and slice multiple food items without having to put each item in a bowl or a plate. When I received the board, I couldn’t help notice how beautiful it was. The wood is light in color and has varying striations embedded in the wood. The board is quite heavy weighing several pounds, which means I don’t have to worry about it sliding around on the counter or stove while using it. Both sides of the cutting board can be used. The cleanup is easy, which is done with simple soapy water. The board came with a board cream as well as a mystery oil which helps to preserve the board and protect it from bacteria. I will continue to use this product for chopping foods as well as a serving board for veggies, cheeses and other things. I would highly recommend the Boo’s cutting board to family, friends and anyone else who might inquire.
