Seems good
This is a nice board. Haven’t used it too much yet. I would prefer if it had a more useable handle instead of just the hole to hang it as I store it in a cabinet. Only thing is it seems to require a lot of oil compared to other wooden cutting boards I have. I have already oiled it once and it looks very dry. A very pretty board though.
