Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chicago Cutlery Woodworks 19-1/2" x 13-1/2" Cutting Board
Customer Review: Thirsty board! Might be warping?
Summary: 4 Stars
The board is the right size for carving up a whole chicken and the "moat", while modest in width/depth, kept the counters clean. Another plus is that it is reasonably light for its size. The one small surprise for me is that the wood is so very dry. It soaked up two very generous applications of mineral oil very quickly. If it doesn't come with oiling instructions, you'll still want to oil it as soon as possible and perhaps with multiple applications each spaced out by a day.
New comments:
After seasoning the board, hand washing, and 6 months of happy use, the board split along a glued joint. This happened after it had been sitting on the counter for a week under the weight of a homemade loaf of bread and a medium-weight glass cake cover. My best guess is that the board had become just slightly (and most imperceptively) warped and the constant distributed weight provided enough stress to crack apart the glue overnight -- 6+" of it! I know nothing about woodworking but I doubt that seasoning alone can strengthen a joint or prevent minor warpage. So I'm lowering the product to a 3 star rating.
1/17/08: Maybe I need a life but I just thought I'd add that there has been no further splitting after 1.5 years of use. I guess nothing is perfect and I certainly still enjoy using the board very much.
Description of Chicago Cutlery Woodworks 19-1/2" x 13-1/2" Cutting Board
Chicago Cutlery Woodworks collection of high-quality cutting boards are constructed of kiln-dried Brazilian Cherry wood so it won't dull your knives. The perimeter groove reduces messes by collecting juices from fruits while cutting, virtually eliminating spillage from the board surface. This is a great tool to protect countertops, serve cheeses and cold-cuts, and transport food from one area to another.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. To address the spacious needs of carving tasks in particular, Chicago Cutlery offers this useful large carving board.
The carving 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 carving board also can double as a serving platter for such appetizers as a cheese platter or freshly baked bread. 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 carving board. Chicago Cutlery offers a lifetime guarantee for all products in the event of faulty materials or workmanship. The large carving board measures 19-1/2 by 13-1/2 inches and weighs three pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling
