Question: Is this block an actual Michigan Maple Block?  Was this board made in the USA?
Document: This is a very heavy-duty well made board. It's manufactured by The Bally Block Company in Michigan of solid maple wood. I can't imagine that I'll ever need to purchase another cutting board as this one should last me a lifetime. I also purchased Emmet's Elixir for Cutting Boards, also made by the Bally Block Company. I would highly suggest conditioning the board prior to use (and regularly thereafter) to help maintain the board's lustrous wood.
The board I got was a knockoff board made in Thailand with a sticker on it saying &#34;Michigan Maple&#34; and the model number. The board was made in Thailand, is NOT NSF approved, is already starting to warp, is not of notable quality, does not look like the one pictured, and is not a good product like the actual Michigan Maple boards I own.I have read true MM products are being copied by overseas sellers on being pushed as the real deal.
Initially I was going to buy a John Boos cutting board. But as I went through various reviews then it became somewhat overwhelming. High prices and cracked boards not living up to the John Boos name. I had run across this Michigan Maple Block and even with taking into consideration that only 9 people had given reviews all of them positive. I took the chance and I couldn't be more pleased.This is a large heavy board.
In addition to the mineral oil then I also bought Howard BBC012 Butcher Block Conditioner Food Grade Mineral Oil and Natural Waxes. I warm a little in the microwave and then wipe it on and leave a thin film overnight. It's wonderful. I think with a monthly application of that then it will keep it beautiful and lasting for years.I couldn't be more pleased with my Michigan Maple Block. I'll update this review after a year. But I feel very confident that this is a quality cutting board.
This cutting block is gorgeous and since I am from Michigan,  it is a beautiful keepsake that I use everyday.
Very well made, heavy duty chopping surface. I really like the thickness and weight of this board. The colors of the alternating slats that make up this board could have more contract to improve the appearance, but it's a beautiful piece regardless.The only slight negative would be the finish. Even after 5 treatments with butcher block oil, the surface feels dry and rough. Not mean to sound overly critical, as this is a great product.
This is really a nice looking cutting board - well made. It is heavy enogh to stay in place on a granit counter and stable enough to take all normal cutting  and chopping work.
It's a nicely built cutting board.I used it to make a casual table for my front porch to match another one I made last year and it worked out fine.Didn't even have to sand it, just attached a skirt and some legs, a couple of coats of clear poly and boom, done.
I read a lot of reviews before deciding to order this board and it lives up to expectations. Thick enough that it won't warp, heavy enough that I can use it for kneading bread as well as chopping, slicing and dicing. I made a big pot of minestrone and there was plenty of room to work and store cut veg until I needed them.
I received the maple cutting board and it exceeded my expectations! I like its size and will find it useful.
Answer: Yes, and yes... You will be quite happy with this butcher block... Also, at the current price of $42, buy it.  I paid about $65 when I purchased and was quite happy then... At $42 I am considering another.
