I got this board to replace some of my plastic cutting boards in an effort to reduce the amount of plastic contacting foods in our home. I already own a large Boo's Block board which is too big for heavy to use for small prep. This is the perfect size for prepping veggies, sliding diced onions onto a pan, etc. It is a simple design with no juice grooves or anything but it is exactly what I was looking for.
Boos block makes great cutting boards but you really need to know a few basic things to get a long life span out of them. Never let them soak in the sink. Dishwashers are an absolute no. Wash after use and allow to dry standing up. I do use the Boos products every once in a blue moon to pamper the boards but honestly, I hardly ever bother. My other board has been going strong for over 4 years with no trouble.

Had to return - several issues with the cutting board.
I filled out a return request on this one about 5 minutes after opening the box.The issues:- The board is supposed to be edge wood, yet one plank is obviously heartwood with a massive knot, as shown. The knot is pitted - a couple of the pits are large enough that they look like somebody stabbed a thumbtack into the knot. This area will accumulate food soil regardless of the surface treatment. Cross-contamination is pretty much guaranteed, not to mention eventual rot, etc.- One plank edge is already starting to split, and this thing is new. More areas for food soil to stick, as well as a sign that the board is likely to come apart at some point.- The entire surface of the board feels rough and not quite finished. Passing a finger over the surface, you can also feel the joints. Boos boards generally have a planed and sanded surface.I've used John Boos boards before, and this one just has so many problems that it might not even be genuine. With that said, I guess there are always going to be a few bad apples in any production run for a product, so if you got a great one, congratulations - but I didn't.The one good thing here is that the return process seems like it's going to be fairly painless, considering that it doesn't ship from Amazon, but from a third-party vendor. I'll reorder and keep my fingers crossed. But if the replacement is in the same condition, I'm tempted to just call a local restaurant supply store and see if I can buy just one board. I don't know if that'll work, as they tend to sell massive orders to restaurants, but we'll see.(Apologies for the shadows in the pics, but that's due to the can lighting placement in the kitchen ceiling being set well back from the counters.)
