Review: Impressively heavy and beautiful - I use high end carbon and V10 steel knives so I wanted a maple or walnut board to protect the edges. Quite frankly, they also look pretty impressive for food prep! Boardsmith boards seem pretty hard and expensive to get into the UK so went with John Boos because supply to the UK seems easier. This is a big and heavy board and even though it has finger grips it still takes some maneuvering so do bear that in mind if you are going to use this every day and perhaps even multiple times per day. Also consider your sink space for washing this, you should never submerge the board but you need to be able to get at least the shorter end in the sink to wash the board off. I use a 50/50 mix of water and white vinegar to clean after using garlic, onions, fish or meat to make sure it’s disinfected and smells don’t linger. You can also just spray a bit of that mixture on the board to freshen it after cutting vegetables if you don’t want to get the board fully wet. It’s also an effective way to clean and reduced the amount of moisture you are exposing it to. The wood looks and feels impressive and after being oiled it looks even better. The board can safely stand on any of the sides without tumbling so no need to prop it against anything else. I followed a bit of a regime before using this board which was my choice but having spent so much on the item that should last a lifetime I wasn’t about to skip steps. I first left the board unopened for a day acclimatize as it was really cold rainy day on delivery. I didn’t want to expose it to big changes in temperature and humidity. I then left it for a few hours in the plastic alone before unwrapping it. I followed the rule of thumb for a new board of oiling it every 2 days for the first week, every week for the first month and then applying beeswax to seal it. I used the JB miracle oil and wax. I applied the oil with paper towel and the wax with a lint free cloth. I don’t know if you have to follow that specific regime before first use but I chose to. I wasn’t in a rush to use it and want to make sure if there were cracks or issues with the wood I could unequivocally say I followed a recommended process and used the branded oils. It seems a lot of care but all wooden boards need to be oiled to prevent cracks. I store this upright so there is always air to both sides of the board to prevent warping. Glad I got this board and would recommend to anyone willing to spend some initial time to ensure the board is properly oiled at the start of its life with you. I have a really of board for serrated knife work (ie bread) as a serrated knife will act like a saw on this. I have added photos the first two of the board in the plastic (you can see the oil beneath the plastic), two before being oiled and one after being oiled and waxed.
Review: Solid and a quality chopping board. - Excellent board and good quality. Make sure you treat the board with special food grade board oil and it will last for years.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I see a lot of reviews about cracking after a short period of time period what type of warranty does this product come with?**
A: The only warranty expressed or implied, is a 1-year guarantee against defect in workmanship and material. Thiswarranty doe not apply to damages which may result from neglect, accidental or intentional damage, exposureto extremes in temperature and humidity, and alteration or abuse of the product. Wood products ordered 'unfinished' do not come with a warranty.  You must do as the others have suggested oil it often and you will not have any problems. Its starts to crack once it becomes to dry. So have to oil it regularly but not too often that will also mess the board up.

**Q: does the grain run length wise or vertically, assuming the longest sides of the rectangle are horizontal?**
A: The grain runs length wise and yes the longest sides are horizontal

**Q: Is Walnut the best choice because of the look or does it have other desirable qualities for a cutting board?**
A: Any American hardwood is a good choice for a cutting board. They have innate antimicrobial properties,

**Q: Why did you delete the word "antimicrobial" with a black pen?**
A: Antimicrobial is a function of the treatment or oil that is applied after purchase; not a function of the wood itself.
