Have had some problem with the board splitting.... but absolutely love the board and is kind to my knives .... It looks great and although it split , my husband cleverly fixed the problem and will continue to use it and keep it oiled !! Most important and adds to the depth of the grain and beauty ! JK Adams has been most responsive in a timely and positive way and has backed their reputation and their product to the max ! I would not shop ANYWHERE else as they are the best !!!!

It's a beautiful cutting board. As I use it it seems as if no cutting marks or scratches seem visible. I've never had an end grain board before so perhaps this is an benefit unknown to me. Early on as recommended I oiled it frequently an it absorbed an incredible amount of oil, about a pint. One downside I noticed was it seems sticky compared with my old cheap discount store board. Some foods especially garlic stick tenaciously to the board and need to be scrubbed or scraped off with knife or fingernail to remove. I suspect this is just the nature of an end grain board and no fault of the manufacturer. I feel confident with JK Adams warranty that if there is any problems with warping or separations it will be taken care of. I read many negative reviews of high end cutting boards that crack or separate and the companies not honoring their warranties. I look forward to using this board for the rest of my life.

BEAUTIFUL CUTTING BOARD - we purchased large board very happy arrived quickly and in good shape. It really soaks up mineral oil, which was purchased from J.K.Adams also.

I expect this cutting board to last me the rest of my life - great quality and beautiful craftsmanship
