20-Inch Butcher Block Prep/Serving Board

No doubt that this board is heavy duty and beautiful, and when I say heavy make that a capital H. It has a really nice weight and feel to it in that respect. Reasons for 3 stars - 1) After just one use cut marks are quite visible, which was a little surprising. At $100 I expected the surface to be finished better so that cut marks didn't show so quickly. 2) It's also surprising that as beefy as this board is, the juice channels are so shallow. We had steak juice everywhere, and the whole reason for this purchase was something that was going to be efficient for this purpose, especially for holiday prime rib and turkey. 3) The biggest disappointment though is in the channels and the 3 prep holes. They are very rough, almost unfinished. It's as if attention was paid to the flat surfaces, which are smooth and nice, but most of the channels are all very rough like they were never sanded. Rough enough that I got a splinter taking it out of the box. I liked the design in general so I ended up finishing the board myself by lightly sanding the problem areas, and oiling the entire board. If you can catch this on-sale it might be worth it, but honestly, it's not $100 worthy.

bought this for my hubby as he does most of the cooking now. he loves the convenience of the 'pockets' when he's chopping a variety of things. very convenient be sure to MEASURE your space. this is not a tiny chopping board.

It’s a great large size and beautiful color but scratched immediately after the first use. It’s more of a serving board than a prep board

So glad we got this cutting board. Fantastic quality of wood. Love the multifunctional uses ! Glad I got it during the NAS bc it is not cheap, but definitely worth it

Really love the weight and shape of this board. However the issue is cutting on it. The marks are quite visible right away. This makes it look worn and old right away. Love the weight and thickness but just can’t justify the cost for something that does not perform as well as my $20 board. The channels are rough as noted above

Got this as part of the anniversary sale for my new apartment. It’s a nice weight, beautifully made and saves my white marble counter tops.
