Amazon.com Review
For chopping fresh vegetables for a chef’s salad or slicing a succulent ham, not every kitchen comes equipped with an adequate cutting board. After crafting fine cutlery for 75 years, Chicago Cutlery well understands that chopping tasks demand a proper cutting surface. The Woodworks line provides a variety of attractive yet practical cutting boards to implement the standard kitchen, while also providing the convenience of mobility for the household chef. For medium and small cutting tasks like paring apples, slicing cheese, and mincing garlic, Chicago Cutlery offers this useful prep board.

The prep board is crafted from beautiful kiln-dried Brazilian cherry wood. The quality construction not only protects kitchen counters and tabletops from abrasions, but also helps thwart dulling to knife blades. A shallow grooved border collects juices while expediting clean up. Reversible, chefs can opt to use one side of the carving board for meats exclusively and reserve the other side for vegetables, fruits, and breads for enhanced food safety. The prep board also can double as a serving platter for serving hors d’oeurves. For the best care, wash by hand and dry immediately. Soaking and use of abrasives may damage the long-term efficacy and beauty of the prep board. Chicago Cutlery offers a lifetime guarantee for all products in the event of faulty materials or workmanship. The prep measures 13-1/2 by 9-1/2 inches and weighs two pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Another Good Chicago Cutlery Item
Two main tips:

1) Don't use serrated knives on this wooden board, or if you do use serrated blades, be gentle. You can do significant damage to the surface of the board if you try.

2) It comes kiln dried and unsealed. You will want to oil it to seal the wood. Otherwise you risk cracking the wood as it is exposed to moisture through repeated washings or humidity in your house.

If you treat this cutting board well, it will last. Just remember, it is wood. It will cut if you saw on it (especially with serrated blades), and it will break or warp if you soak it in water.

Wood is too soft
This cutting board is made of very soft, almost balsa-like wood. In a few short weeks mine has a chewed up surface and I doubt if it will last a year. I have to locate a cutting board made of rock maple, the good old fashioned mainstay of the meat cutting trade, with good reason. Save your money and avoid this cheapie.

practical cutting board
This size is great for every day use - small works for vegetable etc chopping for regular size family on daily use. Very workable - cleans well
