Cutting board OK by me 
Hello there,
I bought this board for $10 from Broadway Panhandler, and it's working out great. I wonder if the other reviewers have properly cared for their board--I oiled it with mineral oil every day for one week before using it, and then once a week for a month. For maintenance after that, you should oil your board once a month. Any wood board will crack if not properly oiled, so maybe that's the problem...? I like the board because I have a very small kitchen with little space, and it's small enough and thin enough to fit just about anywhere.
junk!
I love my Wusthof knives so I was surprised when this board started splitting on me and has continued to since... what a disappointment. stay away from this board
Useless - unworthy of the Wusthof name
I purchased this board with a set of Wüsthof knives. The knives were excellent - I have since purchased more - but the board was a disaster. It warped almost immediately - hardly surprising perhaps as it is thin. Quite possibly I did not care for it properly, for example by oiling it or whatever, but then again there were no instructions included relating to any necessity for that sort of treatment.I would by a butcher's block in future, rather than one of these things. As a general chopping platform I would suggest going for a good quality plastic board, as it will not dull your knives nor be a pain to look after.
Care for it...
And it will not warp, as another reviewer mentioned. There ARE instructions, they are on the little label sticker, though I can understand how they could be missed. I haven't even oiled mine, and it isn't warped or cracked. You can't dishwash it or soak it (also mentioned on the label) so that may be the cause of some people's cracking. I air dry it, lying it face down against any minor warping and this helps as well.That said, it is too much work, and I would be skeptical of using it on meat due to not being able to as thoroughly wash it and to the cracks/seams. Glad it was free.
