I gotta agree with the first couple of commenters. The tiny dimensions are what prevented me from joining this drop. If you're going to call something a "carving board" (as opposed to a "prep board" aimed at chopping some garlic or onions) the concept is that you're dealing with a big hunk of meat, at which point the *smaller* dimension better be at least 14, if not 15 inches. Go bigger next time, Massdrop!
