Question: If the cutting board weighs 1.2#'s how do they come up with 8#'s shipping weight??????????
Document: It's large, beautiful and very solid. It's large enough to hold 1/2 a large baguette, a couple of different kinds of cheese and a knife to cut them. Pleasantly surprised for the price,
I glued some 1/8" "feet" on the bottom to raise it off the counter so it wouldn't trap water under the bottom causing it to warp maybe. Also, they filled a small pit on top with epoxy or something very hard(half the size of a match head). It was above flush so i scraped it down with a sharp knife. I wouldn't have noticed it if I had not felt it while giving it it's first oiling.
Huge cutting board so you get a great surface area to work with. Gorgeous blend of wood clors. Just make sure you oil it about once a week so the piece don't begin to warp or come apart.
Its a solid end grain cutting board with ample room for just about anything I can think of. We use it for all our non-meat prep. I also bought some cutting block oil to help keep it in good shape. I don't do it too often (maybe 1/month), but when you apply the oil it always comes out looking brand new again!
Amazon of course was excellent shipping me out a replacement immediately. But both boards had the same spots/discoloration on it and you'll notice a lot of other reviews mention the same thing so if the looks of this board are very important to you you might want to keep looking.However, I mostly bought this board because of the size as it's bigger than most other cutting boards, and the splotches as far as I tell are just a cosmetic thing.
I gave it a three because 2&#34; of the length of the board wasn't sanded smooth. The board itself is great for cutting vegetables to meats. It's large to handle good size pieces of meat. It is also good for when dicing several different items for meals and just moving them on different areas of the board while working with the others. The mineral oil worked well with it. My knives are not getting dull as often.
When I remodeled my kitchen 1.5 years ago I bought this cutting board. I wanted a cutting board I could leave on the counter all the time. This one is large, looks great and functions well. I've never had any issues with it splitting or cracking. I just bought a 2nd one as a birthday gift for my mother since she loves mine.
I got this board for my birthday and I love it so far... I have used it 8-10 times already and washed it with warm soapy water and then towel dry. After the board is completely dry I used the mineral oil after each use to get that beautiful dark brown color back. I keep the board tilted on the the counter to prevent it from sitting flat and the chance of water gathering underneath. I have been wanting a large, wooden cutting board and this one is simply perfect!
Looked more like manufacturing issues than packaging/shipping. I had to return mine.Otherwise i liked the deep dark colors and the size of this board.
That did not work. What did work was to turn it upside down, feet side up with a large bunch of wet paper towels on the bottom (the top cutting surface). Within 12 hours the board was straight again without any cracks. The surface where the paper towels were is rough after multiple oilings but other than that the board is back to it's original shape and is fully dried. If this happens to you, I can only suggest turning it over with moisture underneath and a weight on top.
Answer: I bought this board; it clearly weighs 6 or 7 lbs.
