Wow! This board is a stunner! Sturdy, beautifully detailed, it is perfect for cutting everything from meats to veggies to cheese! Wipes clean easily, too. There are 4 pads on the underside that keep it in place while using, and they also help to prevent scratches on your countertops. I purchased cutting board oil and used it on my board prior to using to help condition the wood. I think this board is going to hold up for years to come! I use it daily, and its been several months and still pretty much looks new! Great purchase!
