Best Solid Wood Cutting Boards
Written by Irina Webb
I appreciate business owners who are willing to share the details of their manufacturing processes with me and even welcome my input. This is exactly what I got from my conversation with the founder of the Treeboard company, whose one-piece cutting board I own. In this post, you will find out why I consider Treeboard solid wood cutting boards safe and what makes me like them so much. You will also learn why I don’t use plastic, Epicurean, and bamboo cutting boards, what my top picks among cutting boards are, and what I think about the OXO Good Grips Utility cutting board as well as Brooklyn Butcher Blocks End Grain cutting boards.
Why Solid Wood Cutting Boards?
In the past decade, my kitchen has seen quite a few cutting boards. I describe my research into cutting board materials in my comprehensive Guide to Safe Cutting Boards.
In a nutshell, I believe the best material for a cutting board is solid wood. In an ideal world, it should be a solid piece of wood with a non-toxic finish.
Thus, I avoid using the following cutting boards:
- plastic
- Epicurean
- bamboo
- boards made of pieces of wood glued together, and
- boards finished with mineral oil.
Note that I don’t mind cutting boards made of glass. Just beware that a glass board surface area can dull your chef’s knife easily.
Plastic Material For Cutting Boards
In my opinion, plastic cutting boards are not safe for several reasons.
First, plastic is made from crude oil and natural gas and needs many chemical additives for the right texture, color, clarity, durability, and flexibility. None of those chemicals are good for your health. In addition, you can ingest harmful particles of plastic together with the food that you cut on the board.
Second, plastic boards may contain triclosan, an antimicrobial ingredient that can stick to the food and get inside your digestive system. This animal study showed a correlation between exposure to high doses of triclosan and a decrease in the levels of some thyroid hormones.
Third, plastic allows for deep cuts, which, together with moisture, are the perfect environment for bacteria growth.
This is why I am not a fan of OXO Good Grips Utility cutting board, which is made of plastic. Even though it may be dishwasher safe, I don’t believe that plastic is a safe material for a cutting board. To learn more about potential concerns of plastic, including BPA-free plastic, read my post Are Plastic Water Bottles Safe?.
Epicurean Cutting Boards Are Paper Boards
To clarify, rather than being solid wood cutting boards, Epicurean boards are layers of paper stuck together with resin that bonds the layers of paper together under pressure and heat.
Although we own an Epicurean cutting board, we do not use it any longer due to a great number of scratches that can serve as a good environment for bacteria growth.
Bamboo Cutting Boards Are Grass Boards
As for bamboo, it is not wood at all. It is grass turned into thin strips and joined with glue. My concerns are the glue, the finish, and the fact that there is no way to know for sure if the bamboo is organically grown.
On the other hand, I admit that bamboo is the least expensive alternative and an easily renewable resource because it grows quickly. If you would like to try a bamboo cutting board, you can find a safer option in my Guide to Safe Cutting Boards.
Multi-Piece Wood Cutting Boards Use Glue
The absence of glue is the main reason I consider one-piece cutting boards potentially the safest natural cutting boards. Indeed, conventional wooden cutting boards are actually thin strips of wood glued together.
Often, manufacturers either do not know what glue they are using or do not want to talk about it. However, glue may contain toxic chemicals, including formaldehyde, that you do not want to end up in your food. Since solid wood cutting boards do not have this problem, they bring you one step closer to a healthier choice.
Plus, with a solid piece of wood, there is no risk that your cutting board will fall apart. It will last forever and may even become a family heirloom. In contrast, my husband once put a glued-together cutting board in the dishwasher (which, he emphasizes, was “a long time ago” when he was “just starting out”) and after the wash cycle, he had twenty pieces of kindling!
Mineral Oil Wood Surface Finish Is Petroleum-Based
So far, I have mostly seen two types of wood surface finish: mineral oil and a blend of undisclosed ingredients. Often, the companies do not know what oil blend they use to finish their board’s surface area, because they source it elsewhere. Personally, I don’t feel comfortable when I don’t know what it is exactly that touches my food.
As for mineral oil, it is made from petroleum, a non-renewable resource that fuels car engines. Hence, it may have contaminants, such as carcinogenic PAHs, that may leach into food.
Therefore, I’m glad to tell you that there exists a mineral-oil-free cutting board that is safe and affordable for home cooks.
Five Reasons Treeboard Solid Wood Cutting Boards Are My Top Picks
To begin, it’s not that easy to find a one-piece cutting board. You may have heard about Urthware products that checked all the boxes: solid wood, safe finish, and sustainably harvested timber. However, this Canadian company went out of business, and I had to find another non-toxic option for home cooks.
After extensive research, I can say that Treeboard (suggested by one of my Savvy Consumer Circle members, by the way) makes the best products the cutting board market has to offer.
A pleasant phone chat with Will, the founder of Treeboard (located in Maryland), unveiled that he has enjoyed woodworking since childhood. From his father, Will learned such basic carpentry skills as cutting lumber and firewood with an ax and a saw. Once, he cut up a fallen oak tree near his home and discovered that he could make beautiful solid wood cutting boards.
I especially appreciate the fact that Will answered all my questions and sent me his one-piece cutting board for testing. When I saw it, I thought of it as a wood masterpiece!
Here are five reasons Treeboard cutting boards are my top picks:
- Treeboard takes the forest seriously.
- The boards are made of solid hard types of woods.
- They are smooth, thick, and sturdy.
- For the surface area, Treeboard uses a non-toxic finish.
- Treeboard solid wood cutting boards are affordable.
Treeboard Takes The Forest Seriously.
Fascinatingly, for their solid wood cutting boards, Treeboard looks for sustainable lumber locally. Thus, they usually use naturally fallen trees, or those trimmed out of necessity, or trees cleared from new home sites. In other words, your one-piece cutting board will be made of lumber that has the least impact on the environment. In fact, the wood that Treeboard sources is certified sustainable by the Appalachian Hardwoods Manufactures Inc. (AHMI).
Additionally, I respect the company’s desire to give back to the forests that sustain their business. Specifically, they ordered 100 hardwood trees from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and have planted them around the community. On top of that, they plant a tree for every single order they receive. It tells me that they take the environment and the beautiful natural resource, the forest, very seriously.
Treeboard Uses Solid Hard Types Of Woods.
Will, the founder of Treeboard, does everything possible to reduce your exposure to questionable chemicals. Thus, he makes his safe cutting boards of one block of wood, which eliminates the need for glue.
Further, Will makes sure that his wood suppliers do not use any chemicals in the wood preparation process. To clarify, the addition of chemicals prevents or kills mold or changes the color of the wood. But Will is confident that the mill he works with does not use any chemicals. Instead, they dry the timber well to prevent mold and preserve the color of the wood as is.
Hard types of woods, like maple and white oak, are less prone to deep cuts, which makes them less likely to have bacteria contamination. Plus, they are attractive and have great wear resistance. A softer type of wood, cherry, is not good for heavy chopping but is perfect for serving food like cheese, charcuterie or appetizers. The Treeboard cherry serving board looks gorgeous, too!
Treeboard Cutting Boards Are Smooth, Thick, And Sturdy.
From the very first glance at the Treeboard products, you can tell that the maker truly cares about his craft.
First, the boards are impeccably smooth. After cutting the lumber to size, Will rounds the edges, sands the boards, and adds a natural non-toxic finish.
Second, the thickness of all the board sizes – small, medium, and large – is over one inch. This is a very generous thickness, which brings me to their third feature – sturdiness. Indeed, the more than one-inch thickness of the boards makes them very sturdy.
Plus, the “large” size of the boards (on average 23”x12”) is really huge and makes it comfortable to work with multiple vegetables at a time.
In addition, all the Treeboard one-piece cutting boards have the option of adding silicone rubber feet to keep them from sliding on the countertop. By the way, for this purpose, silicone is the best material, as it produces no VOCs or latex allergies. They even carry extra rubber feet in case you need to replace yours.
In short, there is precision and thoughtfulness in every detail of the Treeboard solid wood cutting boards.
For The Surface Area, Treeboard uses A Non-Toxic Finish.
Of course, I wanted to make sure that the finish on the Treeboard products was non-toxic. Turns out, Will uses organic linseed oil and their signature Board Balm made of pure organic carnauba wax and organic linseed oil, melted together into a thick paste. (Actually, a smaller version of the balm comes complimentary with most purchases.)
The linseed oil, also known as “flaxseed oil,” is a cold-pressed food-grade product. As for carnauba wax, it is made from a type of palm and is also a food-grade product that the USDA National Organic Program allows for use in organic food.
You can buy both the Board Balm and linseed oil separately when needed. Interestingly, Treeboard says that because they are free of harmful chemicals, you can also use them as skin moisturizers or as beauty aids to calm frizzy hair.
To use on wooden kitchen products: with fingertips or a clean rag, apply a small amount to the wooden surface area. The change of color will help you ensure you cover all areas. Leave the oil/balm for half an hour to penetrate the wood and then buff the surface to remove any excess and increase the shine.
Regular oil and/or balm application adds water resistance to the product and maintains its finish. Plus, the added shine will make it look amazing!
Treeboard Solid Wood Cutting Boards Are Affordable.
Naturally, the question of affordability is rather relative. It has a lot to do with both comparison of the product with other products of the kind as well as its worth and value.
To me, the fact that my one-piece wood cutting board has no glue and has toxic-free oil for the surface area finish makes it well worth it. In addition to being healthy, it is thick, sturdy, comfortable, and plainly gorgeous. It will last forever and with the right maintenance has the potential to turn into a family heirloom. This makes it valuable.
Let’s talk prices at the time of publishing this post.
| Treeboard Solid Wood Cutting Board | Size | Price (no silicone feet) | Price (silicone feet added) |
| Small white oak board | 8”x10” | $69 | $84 |
| Small maple cutting board | 8”x10” | $79 | $94 |
| Medium oak cutting board | 10”x13” | $119 | $134 |
| Medium maple cutting board | 10”x13” | $124 | $139 |
| Large hard maple cutting board | 2 feet x11” | N/A | $229 |
| Large white oak cutting board | 23”x12” | N/A | $219 |
| Large cherry serving board | 18”x12” 20”x12” 23 ¼”x12 ¼” 23 ¼”x14” | N/A | $199 $209 $229 $259 |
If you opt for “no silicone feet,” you will have an edge grain reversible cutting board.
Brooklyn Butcher Blocks End Grain Cutting Boards
For your information and for the sake of comparison, the Brooklyn Butcher Blocks are NOT made of solid wood. Yes, I contacted the company and they confirmed that. In other words, they are made of strips of wood glued together.
If you are thinking of buying their products, I believe it is a good idea to contact them first and ask about the ingredients of their glue and the surface area finish (according to their website, it is mineral oil, but it is always good to confirm).
Also, please know that their prices are quite higher than those by Treeboard. For instance, consider the following Brooklyn Butcher Blocks End Grain cutting boards’ prices at the time of publishing this post:
- End Grain Walnut Butcher Block (12x18x1.75): $250 plus extra for juice groove* and handles.
- End Grain Cherry Butcher Block (16x20x1.75): $360 plus extra for juice groove* and handles.
- End Grain Walnut Butcher Block (18x24x1.75): $600 plus extra for juice groove* and handles.
*A juice groove is typical of a carving board. The difference between a cutting board and a carving board is that the former is generally intended for chopping and the latter – for slicing and includes a juice groove as a drain for the juices.
Speaking of the Brooklyn Butcher Blocks End Grain cutting boards’ prices, I have to say, they are quite daring given these boards are NOT made of solid wood, i.e., they use glue. Plus, they use mineral oil for their surface area finish.
How To Clean Your Wood Cutting Board
It is not a good idea to wash your solid wood cutting board in the dishwasher. Yet, I always recommend asking the manufacturer if their product is dishwasher safe. As for me, depending on what I use it for, I just wipe off my board with a damp cloth or wash it with non-toxic dish soap by Branch Basics and dry it well with a kitchen towel.
To sanitize, official sources, including restaurant policies, advise to make a solution of one tablespoon of chlorine bleach in one gallon of water. Then, soak the board in the solution for a few minutes and rinse well with warm water.
On the other hand, the holistic community does not fancy chlorine. That is why some sanitizing methods suggested by the Internet involve vinegar or hydrogen peroxide. As for me, I am not sure whether they are indeed effective; therefore, I use a glass board for raw meat and fish.
If you handle raw meat on a glass board, I believe washing it in hot water with non-toxic dish soap (e.g., by Branch Basics) is enough. Just remember that glass can dull your chef’s knife. That’s why my top picks are solid wood cutting boards, namely those by Treeboard.
Conclusion About The Best Solid Wood Cutting Boards
I Believe The Best Cutting Board Is One Made Of A Solid Block Of Wood And Finished With Non-Toxic Food-Grade Balm Or Oil.
In sum, when it comes to safety, I recommend a one-piece cutting board free of mineral oil. Personally, I don’t use plastic, bamboo, and Epicurean chopping boards. Alternatively, I use a Treeboard non-toxic cutting board available for purchase on the company’s website.
First, it has no glue or mineral oil. Second, it is thick, sturdy, not slippery, and is made of sustainable solid wood. Above all, it will potentially last you forever and can become an heirloom piece. This makes it valuable and affordable.

Hi! I know a lot of people avoid seed oils because they’re inflammatory & people also tend to avoid palm as well. That being said, do you have any concerns with the Treehouse board balm?
Hi Lisa,
We do not have concerns with Treeboard board balm.
Thank you for your work!
You are welcome, Elena! Thank you for your feedback!
Hey Irina!
Have you looked at Lynn and Liana Designs. They are accented with stoneware and beautiful. Not sure what eco-friendly epoxy is and if it’s safe but I thought it was worth a look.
“These pieces are made from high quality Canadian maple and an Eco-friendly epoxy to create a one-of-a-kind piece of serve ware for your home. This cheese board is perfect for serving a group of 2-4 people.”
Hello, Teresa! We thank you for your suggestion and will consider looking into it. In the meantime, if you would like a private consultation, Irina will be happy to help you with your question: https://ireadlabelsforyou.com/services/
Have you heard of this shop as well, sounds like another good wood option?
Hi Mitch! Thank you for your suggestion! We will look into it!
Hi! Thanks for all your research! I’m new to your site and information. What is your next best budget friendly recommendation. We have 4 plastic cutting boards that I’d love to replace ASAP but simply cannot afford these.
Hi! So happy I found this, Unfortunately Treeboard is out of stock but I found this company and I wondered what you thought about their cutting boards. I was looking at the wide plank cutting boards based on what you wrote but I’m still not sure. In terms of what they finish it with, they give you a choice, one of the choices being fractionated coconut oil (MCT) , or mineral oil, or salad bowl finish (cross linking oil). I thought based on your post the coconut oil would be best, but I’m wondering what your thoughts are.
Thank you!!
Hello, Michelle! We thank you for your suggestion and will consider looking into it. If you would like a private consultation, Irina will be happy to help you with your question: https://ireadlabelsforyou.com/services/
Thanks so much for what you do, Irina! I am only starting out on learning about non-toxic living, and though it feels overwhelming at times, your site has been such an invaluable resource.
For wood boards, I wanted to share another one I came across – School House walnut cutting board.
I reached out to them regarding their materials and they said: “The Walnut Cutting Board is made of a single, solid piece of walnut – no adhesives. It is finished with natural beeswax and sunflower oil, so it’s non-toxic and food safe with zero VOCs.”
We thank you, Cindy, for your kind comment and your research!
We thank you for your kind comment and research, Cindy!
Have you reviewed Fabslabs?
I haven’t but they are in Australia. I try to stay local if possible. Do you live in Australia? ~Irina
Hello,
Urthware is not shipping out any more orders for a long time. Whats the next best choice?
Thank you for letting me know. Julia. ~Irina
Hi, Irina!
I would love to get an Urthware cutting board, but being a military family we are getting ready to move again and the shipping time for Urthware is 5-7 weeks, and we might not have a secure address to get it shipped to. In the meantime, I do not want to wait in purchasing a healthier, non-toxic option. I will be buying Urthware when we are completely moved! I found this website and wanted your thoughts on the board. I think it is safe, as it is one solid piece. The wax and oil used is vegan, but it does not state that it is organic. Is it a deal-breaker? Thank you so much!
Hi, Haley: you should contact them and verify what exactly they use to finish their boards. ~Irina
I ordered an urthware cutting board five weeks ago and it hasn’t arrived. What are the other best options? Is Virginia Boys Kitchens the second best?
Hi, Mike: Have you contacted Urthware about the delay? Yes, Virginia Boys is second best. Not as luxurious as Urthware but should be safe. ~Irina
they are running a month behind. plus it takes longer coming from canada. i ordered a virginia boys one in the meantime. is it safe to cut meat on a wood cutting board? if my wife insists on plastic, what are the safest plastic ones? amazon recommends oxo but there isn’t one word about the toxicity of it. thanks.
Hi, Mike, please don’t hesitate to ask questions in the Savvy Consumer Circle. It should be safe, safer than plastic because plastic is more prone to harbor bacteria. I recommend having a separate wooden board for raw meat and fish though. ~Irina
Is it safe to cut raw meat on wooden cutting boards since they can only be hand washed?
We keep a separate wooden board for raw meat and fish. ~Irina
I saw that Urthware has wooden utensils for cooking. Would those be as safe as the cutting boards?
Yes, they are! I need to update the post. thank you for asking, Liz. ~Irina
Thank you so very much for your sound research. I spent months trying to find a safe, nontoxic cutting board, but was only left with much frustration and no leads. I’m thrilled to have come across your article and will be purchasing a couple of these cutting boards. I’ve already chosen which ones I’d like. I should have looked through your site before, as I’d already subscribed to your newsletter at least a few months ago!! Lol 🙂
In the future, I’ll definitely look through your site for research and product recommendations. Thanks again!!
Thank you so much for sharing, Janet! I am very glad. Have a fabulous Sunday! ~Irina
Hi Christina,
I can’t tell you how great it is that you did all the leg work for me on this one! I just placed my order and I am very excited to receive my cutting boards! Thank you!
Hi,
I just received my urthware boards and wanted to ask you a question. The rubber feet on my board all bow out from the board so that only the center is touching the wood. Are your boards also like this? All the feet on my board have a 1/4 inch or more gap between the feet and wood it self.
Thank you!
Hi, Christina: there is no gap on my boards. You might want to contact Urthware about this. ~Irina
What about bamboo wood cutting boards? Aren’t those acceptable?
They are certainly better than plastic. However, I am not a huge fan of them because of undisclosed bamboo processing practices. As you know, bamboo is not a tree and technically is grass. ~Irina
What cooking utensils do you use or recommend?
Hi Sheree: I recommend wooden utensils versus bamboo such as these ones. What do you like to use? There will be more information in my upcoming Get Rid Of Kitchen Toxins in 7 Days ebook. ~Irina
What do you think about Epicurean cutting board? Thay claim they are safe, but it reminds me alot of mason boards – which are toxic.
Hi Cris: Epicurean boards are made from wood resin meaning that wood fibers are glued together. I prefer solid wood cutting boards instead. ~Irina
Hi! The retailer responded saying none of their glass cutting boards contain lead. I did find another board at another store (same retailer) and the label said that the board was compliant with California’s prop 65 with regards to lead and cadmium, and since it did not specify it had lead in it, I bought that one. I didn’t want to disclose the name of the retailer in case you didn’t feel it was appropriate. Thanks for your help!
Hi
What are your thoughts on glass cutting boards?
Other than dulling your knives, it sounds like the safest and requiring the least maintenance. I recently bought one but haven’t tried it because I’m having a hard time getting a response on whether it may have lead.
What do you think?
Hi Adianez: glass is the most inert material so as long as it does not have lead, it should be fine. Let me know if you hear from them. Thanks! ~Irina
I am looking for a safe wood cutting board and happened to read your review (Thanks!). I like All Natural Serious, but the largest one is 18”X9″. Is it possible to get a wider one? Also do they offer coupon for the holiday season?
Hi, Nancy! I think the best way would be to talk to the company directly. Thanks. ~Irina

Buying a Christmas gift for someone who wants to hold the board in the store- what would be your backup option? Looking at Proteak, John Boos, etc. I never thought cutting boards would be so tricky!
Just ordered an Urthware cutting board and wanted to say thank you for sharing all your research!
I checked out his shop and it looks good but I am not sure about the milk paint. Why put milk paint on it at all? The MSDS says that in case of ingestion to get medical aid immediately: i.e. “If swallowed, call a physician immediately. Remove stomach contents by gastric suction or induce vomiting only as directed by medical personnel.”
Hi Inna: that’s the exact question I had. While the milk paint is one of the safest offered on the market and it is located only on the sides on the board where the contact to the food is minimum, it is still something we do not have a lot of clarity about. The MSDS does not fully disclose the paint’s composition. I have two boards by Urthware: one has the paint and the other does not. I requested the second board without the paint as I felt it is not necessary. You can do the same and I am sure your request will be honored. Thank you for your comment!
Hi- I purchased an Urthware cutting board after reading your review. (Thanks!) I did notice that I after I washed it, (by hand with a damp cloth) that the cutting surface was really rough. Did you notice this? Does it go away after use / oiling?
Thanks!
Tamara
Hi Tamara! Maybe not as smooth but I would not say “really rough.” Not for me, anyway. And yes, with oiling it goes away. I really enjoy Urthware cutting boards. No complaints.
Tamara,
What did u do then.
What about the Epicurean cutting boards? http://www.amazon.com/Series-Cutting-Boards-Epicurean-Natural/dp/B004TJMPRE/ref=sr_1_1?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1412785803&sr=1-1&keywords=epicurean+cutting+board
It says they are made of recycled materials, compressed with a “food-safe resin.” Hmmmmm….. would love to know your insight on those.
Hi Melissa, those food-safe resins are not transparent at all. Nobody will ever tell you what chemicals they have. I did not get any satisfying answers and decided to avoid glues all together in my food. I sent Epicurean a message and, if they respond, I will update this comment. Thank you, Melissa!
10/16/14: I just received a reply from the company. The resin is made with phenol formaldehyde. Phenol formaldehyde is less toxic than urea formaldehyde. However, it is still formaldehyde – not ideal. By the way, wood has natural formaldehyde and with pressed wood you get more of it. You can read my post about formaldehyde here.
Hi did you research bamboo boards from cutting boards.com? They have some impressive claims.
Hi Eldra! I don’t think I researched these particular cutting boards but generally I do not like bamboo boards. First, they are made with thin pieces of wood glued together; second, most bamboo come from China where growing practices are questionable; and lastly they are finished with mineral oil, which is a petroleum product. Please let me know what you find out. Thanks!
Somehow, I knew you were going to say that! 🙂
Irina, do you put your cutting board in the dishwasher?
No, that will ruin wooden cutting boards. I wash them by hand.
Wooden cutting boards are petridishes for bacteria. Glass cutting boards, which are made in the US, are the healthiest cutting boards.
Interesting. This is not what I read. Could you provide more information? I agree about glass. The problem with glass boards though is that you have to sharpen your knives almost daily.
I like that it’s natural wood to cut on
So excited to hear I have a safe option! I have always been leery of the wood ones glued together!
I like that they’re made out of wood and not plastic, less likely to leach bad things into what we’re eating
I love that they are organic and free of toxins!
So grateful that you have done all this research. It is frustrating that manufactures that are allowed to make products with proven toxins in them.
Thanks for the giveaway. I like that the maple is less prone to bacterial contamination.
Nice find. I’ve been thinking of replacing ours as they split so soon after we got them. I’m sure bacteria is hiding in there.
I like that there non toxic:)
They are nontoxic!
I love that he’s using a safe finishing oil – I recently replaced my plastic boards with wood, but got so frustrated trying to research the proper way to maintain the boards. I gave up!
I typically keep my meats and vegetables on different cutting boards, marking them so I never cut vegetables on my meat board. I’m curious if you need to do that with wood and therefore would recommend 2 – one for meats and one for vegetables?
Hi Kira, it is so much to hear from you! Yes – to be on a safe side, it is better to have two.
I love that a beautiful hardwood like maple is the only component.
Thank you for doing all of this hard work for me!!! I became so frustrated looking for a truly safe cutting board that I gave up! Now I have an option!
And… what I like best about them is that they are completely stress-free for me! No weird glues, no yucky oils, nothing to worry about!!
And… what I like best about them is that they are completely stress-free for me! No weird glues, no yucky oils, nothing to worry about!!
Wow, these look like great boards! I am transitioning to a plastic-free kitchen and trying out different natural cutting boards. I would love to buy a couple of these!
I like the fact that they’re hand made and use no toxic components!
I would love to win one of these boards. I love that you did the research and know that it’s safe, untreated wood instead of the toxic plastic to cut our fruits and vegetables. Thanks for the Giveaway! I shared it with my friends too.
Hi Susan, thank you so much for your kind words! I wanted to make sure that we are on the same page. The giveaway is a $10 coupon on a $50+ purchase for 5 people, not the entire board.
OK thanks for clarifying! I just read it!
i particularly like the fact that he even thought about the glue and solved the toxic issue around that problem.
I love that these cutting boards are made out of maple and that it helps make them less prone to bacteria contamination and I love that he adds the feet to the bottom to deter slipping while using the board.
I like the more natural wood then fake plastic to cut my food on.
