Ironwood Gourmet 28218 Square Charleston End Grain Chef's Board , Acacia Wood 14" Square

Not much to preface this one with, other than mentioning that I am a very prolific chef, I usually cook a completely new recipe at least 4 times a week, so let's get straight to it.𝙎𝙩𝙮𝙡𝙚: 5/5As any good cook knows, cooking is both an art and a science, and the tools of the trade reflect that, you see all the influencers with pretty Damascus knives and patterned edge or end grain wood cutting boards, and this board would fit right into that scene, my kitchen isn't exactly small or cheap, but the cutting board alone makes me feel more like Gordon Ramsey than anything else I've bought or used in the past few months.𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: 5/5No other cutting board has given me nearly as pleasurable or smooth a cutting experience as this board, prior to this I've been using random cutting boards purchased at the local Ikea, nothing as expensive as this, but it is ENTIRELY worth the price, if I knew that a few months ago when I first bought it, I would've bought a bigger, fancier model, but I was originally skeptical as to exactly how much of an improvement it is over generic cutting boards.𝙀𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜: 5/5You'd assume that since you can't just toss this into the dishwasher like other cutting boards, it would be considerably more difficult to wash this cutting board, but you'd be surprised to find that you're wrong, it's genuinely as easy as a good rinse, a swift patting down with a paper towel (a decent quality one like Bounty) or a dry towel/rag, and leaving it out to dry for a few hours.𝗗𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: 4/5While it has picked up some scratch marks from my knife, they are purely cosmetic, I ran my hand across the board right after taking the photo attached to this review and there are, somehow, NO grooves, the scratches have ZERO depth, it's purely discoloration, the board is basically as good as new, no chips, grooves, cracks, or anything, I've even dropped it once, after applying mineral oil to it, and there was no issues.𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Buy this cutting board, you won't regret it

This cutting board is just as described by the seller. It also was shipped promptly.It is very solid and large enough to do most anything that I require.One reviewer mentioned marks that appeared to be water stains on the surface of the new board. I can see some of these on this board as well. They appear to be part of the wood pattern when it was cut. The ones on this board are quite faint and when I oiled it they blended in even more. They are not distracting for me.The back side of the board has small rubber feet that elevate it about 1/8 of an inch or so off of the counter. This is nice so that the bottom does not stay wet while I cut things if the counter happens to be wet when I set it down.The finish is smooth and the corners slightly rounded. The joining of each piece/glue is very well done. I have cut on it and have only left very minor marks on it. Of course, I have not beaten it with a meat cleaver either. :) We primarily use cutco knives, just to give you an idea of the sharpness and hardness of the blades being used on the surface of this cutting board.Overall, it is a very pretty cutting board that is also sturdy. With proper care this will last my lifetime and hopefully be able to be given to one of our children one day. I think they are already anticipating my demise so that they can get my wood and cast iron kitchen pieces!! We have begun selecting items that can last and maybe even become an heirloom one day. This is one of those items that is pretty enough and constructed well enough that it could become one of those items.I would definitely purchase this item or suggest it to a friend. It would also make a fantastic piece in a kitchen gift set.

This board is one of the most beautiful items in my kitchen now. I truly do love it.The beauty of this board coupled with it's generous size, weight, and reasonable price are leading me to leave my first review of any product purchased through Amazon to date.Reviewers who note the cloudy nature of the finish when receiving it should oil their board correctly and the dull finish will give way to the rich, deep, and varied patterns of the acacia wood.Go to your favorite search engine and do some research about food safe mineral oil and how to correctly maintain your investment. Yes - these boards are an investment. They'll last as long as you care for them:No care = no life span.Great care = great life span.It's really that simple.As with all wood items, avoid water, but you don't need to be a hydrophobe :) Just dry it well before storage, and ensure you store it upright instead of flat. This will ensure any latent moisture doesn't sit along the body of the board, and if any damage occurs it will be limited to the resting edge.Good luck and enjoy your board!

Ordered in April 2025 and today (September 9) it’s warped and cracked and it’s hard to use because it spins around due to warping. So bummed because we oil it as directed and it was so beautiful.

This is the best cutting board you could possibly get for the price. Gorgeous wood grain and the feet are nice too. We used for a year when a split occurred in the wood and reached out to customer service. The team sent out a free replacement board, standing behind their quality to last. I’m so impressed with this brand and trust them to take care of their customers! If we ever need a larger size or a wedding gift we will be coming back here!
