This was a compromise, but it worked out very well. I definitely wanted a board with a "blood groove" all the way around it, and my wife wanted a board with a totally flat surface. this has both, so you can just turn it on the side you want. That's a big plus, in my house.

I especially like the size of it. Big enough to carve a full size turkey on, yet small enough to fit in most any storage place.

A very high quality cutting board, and I'd recommend it to anyone.

My husband is quite the cook (and especially likes to grill) and I really wanted to get him a nice cutting board with a deep trench for father's day. We have only had this cutting board since June and it is not used every night. Already there are multiple splits on both ends of the board. I have had my cheap bed bath and beyond cutting boards last longer then this expensive heavy cutting board did. Needless to say I will never buy a John Boos board again. I am very disappointed about the quality because I love how they look and some day when I had a bigger kitchen was planning on buying one of their big butcher blocks. However, now I will look else where.

Nice solid cutting board, great for cutting stuff like tomatoes and watermelon and a lot easier than plastic boards to clean after cutting raw meats. Have had it for about a month so far and it has been in use almost every day.

Honest reviews on John Boos 18-by-12-Inch Maple BBQ Board

Have been using this board for 3 months now. Oiled it monthly, dried it after each use and it still warped. Segments are beginning to seperate and board won't stay flat on counter top.

Considering how much we paid for this, and all the hype from celebs about it, I am disappointed with this product. Like a fine piece of wood furniture, I expected it to be smooth and soft to the touch. It is not. The edges are rounded but the grain is rough and it's rough around the "handle" grooves. Even after rubbing it down with their special protecting cream, I still wouldn't want to run my hand down it. We've just received it recently so I can't comment yet on the longevity. I also find it inconvenient that it is so large and heavy. When I'm just quickly chopping a few veggies, I still always reach for my smaller boards. They do produce one smaller board, but most of the reviews of it were very poor so I didn't bother with it. This one would be perfect if it was just cut in half (I'm actually considering having my husband do that but not sure if that would ruin the longevity?) Overall, I was expecting to be really wowed by this item and I was not.
