This Cutting Boards give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Very Tough But Soft on Knife's Edge
I got this board a year ago, and it still looks good on my counter. So far, I only had to add mineral oil twice in the year. I used it to chop heavy stuff, and it's very sturdy yet it has an excellent "give" on my $100s knife's edge. The only setback, is during cleaning time, it's very heavy (good way for weight-lifting exercise). If you chop a lot, and love your expensive knives, this is the only board you'd ever need for everyday chopping.
2. Awesome board! Be sure to seaon it before use.
Wonderful! The height of it is perfect for our counters which are low to us (we're tall), so it makes it more ergonomic for us.
Yes, it's very heavy, but I don't see that as a negative. I was looking for a substantial one. I just bring my pans to the board to unload the food. I would not bother trying to carry the board across the kitchen. It doesn't move on your counter even remotely and it looks beautiful.
Make sure you season this board with mineral oil and paraffin before use so it doesn't absorb any odors or bacteria. Here's how I do it:
In a double broiler (or a bowl over a pot of boiling water), melt 10 tablespoons of mineral oil and about 3T of paraffin (comes in a block at the grocery store) until the paraffin is completely melted. Don't melt it directly over heat, as the paraffin has the potential of being flammable.
Immediately after you remove it from the heat, pour 1/2 on the cutting board and quickly--in the direction of...

Recently moved out on my own and started to buy my own things for my apartment and soon realized that plastic cutting boards are not the best option. I decided to search on amazon and came across the Catskill 15.5 inch Round slab (Catskill Craftsmen Wood End Grain Round Cutting Slab with Feet) but I thought it was too big and pricey for me so I kept searching and I found this gem. Not only is it cheaper, it is only 1.5 inches smaller in diameter and only 1/4 inch smaller in the thickness so I purchased this based on the good reviews of the 15.5 inch slab. Same brand, same quality! The difference in size versus the amount of money saved is definitely a plus! Get this one!
I am really pleased with this cutting board. The feet really grabs onto the counter top and doesn't move while I'm chopping away; it's perfect for chopping up vegetables and what-not. It looks great in my kitchen, I leave it out on the...
