The material of choice for many chefs, maple won’t crack or split, and it lasts a lifetime with little maintenance—not to mention it has natural germ- and bacteria-fighting characteristics Read More
I have had mine for about nine months. I do oil it regularly and we use it at least a couple of times a week. I couldn’t be happier! It’s beautiful and functional. I had trouble finding a reasonably priced end grain cutting board this thick. I am so happy I found this one.
As many have noted, this cutting board is very disappointing. When it first arrived I was really excited yet did not use it until I had a chance to condition/oil it. I used it carefully for a few weeks, handwashing of course, drying and applying more oil. By 4 weeks - it warped and cracked with large crevices along the joint lines. Truly disappointed as it looked great on the counter and I was enjoying using it. If there is not remedy with Massdrop then I see no reason to take another chance on another drop.
mharawayHey @mharaway,
Really sorry to hear about that! If you haven't already, please make sure to submit a ticket with our CS team so we can get you squared away.
KVNVSame here. It warped and cracked after the first few days it arrived. I let it sit and dry for a week and eventually the warping went away but the cracks are still fairly prominent.
kate886Well Kate maybe that 80% bickering is well deserved and members are trying to give others a heads up. Sometimes bickering is the proper response to an inferior product.
I got this board from the last drop. After a bit over a month, no cracking or warping. This thing is massive and impressive (granted, I'm not a chef, so maybe this is normal). I treated it with mineral oil a couple of times and so far so good!
SaeulfHow much does your block weigh in ounces or grams? Also, if you could post a picture of your actual board, that would be very helpful. Always nice to see what the product looks like once its shipped out to us buyers. Thanks!
Or they could be taking fallen limbs. Point is, you are the one making the assumptions. And using those assumptions to steer people away from the product, when you truly know nothing about their particular practices.
ChuckDeelast post from me on this.
I got the no trees were harvested from the main page description.....
back to your questions. based on other reviews for thisdrop and from BB&B reviews it's clear this board warps. Based on my own and others I know who use the cheap ikea bamboo board: those don't warp, cost less, last a long time , don't crack, are heavy duty...and are made from a known renewable source since its harvested from grass.
My guesses as to how the mnfd is able to say no trees were harvested were guesses. I didn't ask people to be skeptical about how they got the wood and never used their sourcing as reasons not to buy. Not sure why you care so much.
i gave input based on years of woodworking.... and having made end grain boards myself.
As for my comment "no trees were cut down..." if you read the context you'll note I was referring to the IKEA bamboo boards since bamboo is a grass and not wood.
Life really is too short to be so grumpy
Agarwaen24And it also says in the description, "No trees were harvested to make the block", which is why I don't understand where the question comes from, and thought that maybe the question wasn't the obvious.
