Question: Can this bowl be used for chopping without ruining it?
Document: every thing I could have hoped for. its used as a nut bowl by my chair. it looks great love it.
It's been used for almost a year with no signs of wear and still has its like-new patina. If you need a bowl to handle  salads, pasta, meat dishes, etc. this bowl is it. The price is right and quality superb.
This is our second bowl and I will most likely buy 2 more as I use them for everything!! They are the perfect size for entertaining. We've used them for everything from salad to chips to fruit. They are easy to clean and perfect for indoors or outdoors.
This Lipper International Bamboo Wood Salad Bowl is the proper size to hold two heads of lettuce, salad fixin's,spaghetti for six or other large serving chores from kitchen prep to your beautifully set dinning table.We searched high and wide for a "wide-enough" salad bowl that would make a wonderful addition to a table setting. I gave this bamboo bowl to a friend as a gift. She couldn't believe its beauty, color and shape. It's used each and every night at dinner, serving a family of five and sometimes more.
If you need a sturdy wide shallow bowl, this is a good choice.
Whatever bowl you may purchase, be certain the color is solid through the wood! This one is definitely recommended.
Large, good looking, functional salad bowl. Looks good. Easy to clean. Oil it periodically.
Bowl came quickly, was well-packaged, and was as advertised. Seems to be of good quality. Well satisfied with this purchase.
This is a wonderful, sturdy, large wooden bowl. I scoured the internet before I found it. It is handsome as well. MG
This is a quality made salad bowl and matches their Lipper International smaller salad bowels. Nice family size.
Answer: I own this bowl.but have not used for chopping. I own 2 bamboo cutting boards and after much use they don't show it, so I'm guessing you can. It won't be ruined, it might just show it's been used, but probably not much. Bamboo is an amazing wood.
