Walnut End Grain Reversible Cutting Board (12" X 18")

I was reluctant to buy this product because there were no reviews when I purchased it. I've read a lot of reviews on other expensive name-brand cutting boards with a lot of bad reviews of how easily they split and etc. But this one I decided to go ahead and try and I don't regret it. Super thick, durable and well-made and it's under $50. It's been only a week so far but it's been really great using it everyday.When I first received it I noticed the surface was still rough so I used a 600 grit sand paper to nicely smooth out the surface, washed it with mild dish soap, dried it, then applied the mineral oil and dried it again. I am so in love with this cutting board and it’s even better now than I first received it after oiling a few times.9x12 is a bit small but I didn't want to get anything larger for a small kitchen but I wish there was a medium size option (maybe 11x15??). But overall, shipping was great, packed in a sturdy box and it came earlier than expected. This might be a great side cutting board/cheese board to have around!

I loved this walnut end grain cutting board.A small size for a small job.It's light weight and easy to clean.The dark wood color can easily hide the cutting marks.I have a larger, heavier and thicker end grain cutting board.Because of the size and weight.It ends up I've been using this smaller board instead.But I never use this board to chop bones.On day one, after I had received this board, I wiped on the food grade mineral oil for a week until it wouldn't absorb anymore.I put on the conditioner last and start using it ever since.A monthly oil maintenance follows.I treated my other boards the same way.They don't have any cracks and warps.I highly recommend this product.

It needs a lot of oil and waxing for maintenance, but if maintained, it’s perfect: easy to clean, feels great under a knife, is sturdy as can be, and just plain makes improves the whole cutting experience. Is it necessary? Not at all. But does it slow me down and help me concentrate with gratitude as I prep my food? Absolutely! Couldn’t be happier about having bought it.

I’m very disappointed in this cutting board! It’s rough and it also marks up with the cutting of a vegetable!Not worth the purchase
