This board is my everyday cutting board.
Reversible board (birch) does have a rougher surface then the super slab, however, thus far it does not seem to impede the quality.
I never expected the quality of the two boards I purchased. Site does not specify manufacturer, "Catskill Craftsmen, Inc", so I had no way of knowing both boards came from same place until I opened the boxes. I also purchased the 25 lb super slab end grain 20"x20".
I use shun knives and must use quality end grain wood when cutting or chopping. Hard to believe after being aggressive chopping garlic and slicing foods there was not a mark on either board! Purchased mineral oil (as per co.'s instructions) and prepared boards. Not a big deal at all preping/seasoning boards upon arrival.
Easy cleaning with cloth and oiling as part of maintenance.
Order board and go buy mineral oil while you await your board's arrival.
Order arrived without any tracking/shipping notice. (SURPRISE, WE ARE HERE!!)
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Perfect, picure shows how board looks after oiling.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good Value for price
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Good
