17x11x0.75 inch walnut cutting board

This Black Walnut Wood Cutting Board is absolutely beautiful and feels incredibly sturdy. The wood is smooth, well-finished, and adds a touch of elegance to my kitchen. It’s thick and durable enough for heavy chopping, yet gentle on knives, which I really appreciate. Cleaning and maintenance are simple, and the board has held up well with regular use. Overall, this is a premium, American-made cutting board that’s both functional and stylish—I highly recommend it.

This cutting board is exceptionally sturdy and, with proper care, it is sure to provide decades of use. The surface is smooth, and the color of the black walnut wood is truly gorgeous. The cutting board is highly functional, featuring a well-designed liquid-capturing channel that surrounds the entire board. The corners are smoothly finished with square edges. Its light weight makes it easy for anyone to handle. The size we purchased is perfectly sufficient for our needs, and it is also available in larger sizes. The care instructions included in the package are very helpful. I would highly recommend this product to anyone seeking a high-quality, non-toxic cutting board.

Quality is exceptional. You get what you pay for from this company. This cutting board and cleaning supplies was a gift for a friend who wanted only a walnut product. It should last for years; if properly cared for. Craftsmanship is incredible with beautiful wood.

I want to preface this review by saying how much I really wanted to love this board. It's beautiful once it is seasoned and the size is perfect having a large area to work on, whether for prep work, dough kneading, or even carving meat. However, the production quality really soured the experience for me. Once I did have the board seasoned (and I seasoned it, both sides, multiple times over several days using Boos Mystery Oil and Wood Cream) the issues quickly became apparent. As noted in another review, the juice grooves are not sanded. This wasn't a deal-breaker for me. What was a deal-breaker is that right after the first use, the surface of the board started splintering. I was wiping off tons of fibers from the surface just drying the thing. Those fibers would have easily made it into food if I hadn't done something about it. That was annoying but I figured it was a good opportunity to get some sandpaper and smooth out the groove and edges. I sanded down the surface with 220 grit sandpaper, reseasoned it, and the same thing happened two washes later. I figured maybe I hadn't done enough, and proceed to sand and season it yet again. The board was fine for about 3 uses this time until it started to offer more splinters while being dried off. On top of that, despite having hand-dried it every time I used it, it started warping after two weeks of use. The board will not sit flush with my counter and rocks while it is being used. I initiated a return thinking I had just received a bad sample. It happens, right? I can't fault the company for a bad unit, it's the nature of production. The second board I received was shipped alone in a box with some packing paper on one side of the box (whereas the first was shipped within its own Virginia Boys box and had some paperwork). Right as I took off the wrapping, I immediately noticed several gouges on the board and a crack running over an inch on the bottom. Like I said before, I really wanted to love this board and I was excited to have it in my kitchen. However, the following weeks of use and inconsistency in quality across the boards were major letdowns. Maybe I'm unlucky and got two bad examples, but I am disappointed, to say the least.

High-quality medium size board arrived in perfect condition. I can tell a huge difference in cutting compared to my other cheaper boards. I ordered a second one board to use for larger meals. I like the weight and that it is easy to store. This is made in the USA and customer service is excellent.

I was looking for a smaller board to use for little things like fruit so I had found this one and decided to order. Upon opening the packaging I saw oil stains on the cardboard inside which is a good sign, means it really is/was preseasoned. It's a nice chocolate brown color. The wood felt soft so it shouldn't wear my knives down quick. The price also wasn't bad for it being a Walnut board. Used it once so far and noticed a few things. Pros: - Aesthetically pleasing (rich color and grain) - Lightweight - Soft enough not to damage knives - Good size for small items (berries, cherry tomatoes, etc) Cons: - Bit smaller than I expected (also I believe it's about .75 inches thick) - Knife marks already showing (though edge grain is more prone to do this, just wasn't expecting to see them after one use) Big Con: - Mine had grain pieces lifting/splintering after initial use & mild wash, not surprising with edge grain, but it was really bad. So bad that I had to refinish and reseason the entire board, I'm lucky I had spare extra fine and fine grain sandpaper laying around along with John Boos care products. It also got really dry after that wash, and I didn't use very hot water or a lot of soap (just a drop or two) since I had only cut up some garlic cloves and bacon pieces. The rich dark chocolate color turned to this very pale and dull shade of brown. Despite all this, I'm still keeping the board to see how it performs in the future after finishing and seasoning it. However, if you're someone who doesn't know any better about woodworking/being handy, I could see why you'd return it. That being said, I still wasn't too happy about sitting down at the table and sanding my board for an hour while occasionally rinsing and checking for more lifting. I'm still in the process of seasoning, as I've had to oil it a few more times to make sure it's completely moisturized, just waiting for the beeswax to settle in. It's my first Walnut as well as edge grain board. My other boards are end grain Teak, about 1.5 - 2 inches thick. No splinters or marks after heavy use. Either way, please remember to season your boards once in a while!

Bretter aus amerikanischen Walnußholz in dieser Größe sind nie billig. Dieses ist vom Preis durchaus im niedrigeren Bereich angesiedelt. Die Verarbeitung ist perfekt, beide Seiten sind einwandfrei geschliffen, die Saftrille ist sauber gefräst. Das Brett kommt übrigens -auch laut Beschreibung- vorbehandelt, laut Beipackzettel mit Kokosöl. Ich bevorzuge Leinöl, da dieses aushärtet, das Brett habe ich daher direkt nochmal nachbehandelt. Einen Geruch nach Essig, wie viele hier schreiben, hat mein Brett nicht. Natürlich ist es nicht geruchsneutral, es riecht halt nach Holz! :-) Amerikanisches Walnußholz hat übrigens einen ähnlichen Härtegrad wie Kirschholz (Brinell ca. 2,9) und ist somit deutlich weicher als Bambus, Eiche, Akazie oder Buche. Perfekt zum messerschonenden Schneiden! Sicher wird man auf Dauer Schnitte sehen können, aber es ist ja auch ein Arbeitsgerät und kein Wohnzimmertisch! Wer -wie ich- Spaß an schönen Küchenutensilien hat wird am diesem Brett sicher seine Freude haben. Kaufempfehlung!

j ai acheté cette planche a découper car je n avais plus de planche les les miennes se cassaient facilement et la pour la découper de mon poulet enchanté elle est très grande avec une rigole le long pour la sauce .

Tagliere robusto, spesso e bellissimo oggetto di arredamento. Ottimo sia per tagliare che per servire i formaggi da tagliare al momento della cena. Arrivato non trattato e per mantenere inalterate le sue proprietà nel tempo, sarebbe il caso di trattarlo e manutenzionarlo costantemente trattandosi di un materiale vivo quale il legno. È composto infatti da legno massello listellare assemblato. Molto soddisfatta dell’acquisto, è piaciuto molto anche ai miei amici che lo hanno usato per assaggiare dell’ottimo formaggio al vino.

High quality choppingboard, lovely wood, good looking and sturdy.

I was concerned looking at some rviews but all my concerns disappeared after I received and used the wood plate. The quality is outstanding and the look it beautiful. Being an photograph amateur, I even regularly use it to take pictures of food
