Made in USA Black Walnut Wood Cutting Board by Virginia Boys Kitchens - Butcher Block Wooden Carving Board with Juice Well made from Sustainable Hardwood (17x11)

I purchased this as a gift for my mom, and it’s absolutely beautiful! The craftsmanship is solid. It’s a bit lighter than I expected, which actually turned out to be a plus since my mom is in her 70s. I also love that it comes from a small, family-run company that makes their boards here in the U.S.—that was a huge selling point for me. I’ll be in the market for a new cutting board soon, and Virginia Boys Kitchens will be the first place I look.

This cutting board is a must have in your home. 5 stars!!! I could not rate this 5 stars due to the Amazon app. Virginia Boys Kitchen goes the extra mile in providing detailed care instructions and they provide a warranty.

Great size, and qfuality wood. Sustainable harvested wood, and made in usa

I want to preface this review by saying how much I really wanted to love this board. It's beautiful once it is seasoned and the size is perfect having a large area to work on, whether for prep work, dough kneading, or even carving meat.However, the production quality really soured the experience for me. Once I did have the board seasoned (and I seasoned it, both sides, multiple times over several days using Boos Mystery Oil and Wood Cream) the issues quickly became apparent. As noted in another review, the juice grooves are not sanded. This wasn't a deal-breaker for me. What was a deal-breaker is that right after the first use, the surface of the board started splintering. I was wiping off tons of fibers from the surface just drying the thing. Those fibers would have easily made it into food if I hadn't done something about it.That was annoying but I figured it was a good opportunity to get some sandpaper and smooth out the groove and edges. I sanded down the surface with 220 grit sandpaper, reseasoned it, and the same thing happened two washes later. I figured maybe I hadn't done enough, and proceed to sand and season it yet again.The board was fine for about 3 uses this time until it started to offer more splinters while being dried off. On top of that, despite having hand-dried it every time I used it, it started warping after two weeks of use. The board will not sit flush with my counter and rocks while it is being used.I initiated a return thinking I had just received a bad sample. It happens, right? I can't fault the company for a bad unit, it's the nature of production. The second board I received was shipped alone in a box with some packing paper on one side of the box (whereas the first was shipped within its own Virginia Boys box and had some paperwork). Right as I took off the wrapping, I immediately noticed several gouges on the board and a crack running over an inch on the bottom.Like I said before, I really wanted to love this board and I was excited to have it in my kitchen. However, the following weeks of use and inconsistency in quality across the boards were major letdowns. Maybe I'm unlucky and got two bad examples, but I am disappointed, to say the least.

This is such a great product that I ordered two sizes. They are well made, the quality incredible, and they are beautiful in our kitchen. We also bought the oil and wax to care for these boards. We will definitely order from here again.

The cutting board looks nice, exactly as described. However, the instructions say they recommend a coat of board oil before the first use and daily for the first week. There is nowhere in the description of the product that states this. Now I am waiting for the oil to arrive before I can use my cutting board. I would recommend this information either be in the description or perhaps include a small starter oil with the board. Perhaps other users, commenting on splintering and warping did not read the care maintenance instructions prior to using the board.

Mine is fantastic… after proper seasoning and a few coats of wax… people… ya need to OIL these before you ever use it. 3-4 coats and then 2-3 coats of wax… almost too pretty to use now!

5 stars and highly recommend. The cutting board shipped very quickly and was well packaged. The quality of the board is top notch. Exactly what I expected from "Made in the USA".
