Review: Good board, let’s see - A big decision to get this and a leap of faith. Tiny kitchen and chunky board, it takes up a fair chunk of my workspace but is a welcome addition and so far much used. I went for 4 inches thick in the hope it might not split along some of the end grain joins which seems part of the course with end grain boards compared to other build types. The negative reviews about this problem, Boos included, put me off some of the thinner boards. I’m caring for it well with oil, conditioner and dedicated cleaner so let’s see. It seems beautifully made, I’ll see how it goes and will review again if ‘split’ problems emerge. I just wish Boos cream was easier to get on the UK without a ransom. Boos gave a sample with the board but enough of a tiny sachet only to coat one side which is a little mean for the cost! Try buying the cream for a reasonable price here seems a challenge.
Review: Expensive but worth it - Cost a fortune but will last a lifetime... you gets what you pays for and this is high end quality

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you recommend wet sanding with a block it when it arrives?**
A: Keep in mind that end grain may not feel as smooth as side grain . I suppose you could sand it, but I've never heard of wet sanding wood. It's a cutting block. Use it.

**Q: How many pounds does the 18”x18”x3” black walnut cutting board weigh?**
A: I don't know the exact answer (I've never weighed it) but it is hefty. If I were to guess, it has to be around 20 lbs. I like that because it is stable and won't move when cutting large meats. Truly the best board I have ever had!

**Q: Did you receive Boos block cream finish with beeswax with your board? The product description (under maintaining your board) implies that it is included.**
A: A little complimentary packet of the block cream might have come with the block, but I purchased additional beeswax to maintain the block.

**Q: Does the cutting board come pre-conditioned with an oiled surface?**
A: Yes.  It should be maintained regularly with John Boos Wax and Oil but does come preconditioned.
