5.0 out of 5 stars BEAUTIFUL AND GREAT QUALITY I received my cutting board on 12/18/24. It came in a very sturdy box with great supporting foam so I knew it was well protected. The mosaic of the walnut wood is just beautiful!! The board is heavy and has “feet” on both sides that keep the board in place. Unfortunately for me, we had a distiller on the counter that we were unaware had leaked. We had left for 2 days and discovered it the next morning and I noticed the board had soaked up the water. I was devastated!! So I felt I probably couldn’t ruin it much by trying to solve this (it rocked on the counter). I placed the board in my oven and set the temp to 175 degrees. As soon as it reached that temp, I let the board sit inside for ONE minute. I felt the board then and it was slightly warm so I removed it. I then set heavy jugs in the middle of the board and left it for 3 days. To my great delight, the board “reset” itself and I couldn’t tell it had been warped! I oiled it as the heat had slightly dried it out. I attribute all this to the great quality of the board and there is no doubt I am more than happy about this product. Yes, it was a bit pricey but it should last a long time. I wrote on my calendar to oil it every 2 weeks. I love how it looks on my countertop!Variation: Color: Welton | Black Walnut | End Grain

5.0 out of 5 stars Love my Welton! I got the Welton! And my GOODNESS, it is a beautiful board and has held up very well for the few months I’ve had it! Well worth the money, it’s big and beautiful and very luxurious to work on.Essential tips for anyone looking to buy:- To prevent warping, you MUST oil it upon receipt and keep oiling it thereafter. Wipe the water off with a rag after washing. Mine was rather dry when I got it and this is very common, it drank up a ton of oil its first few days.- Keep oiling it until it takes several hours for the oil to soak up, and don’t be surprised if it takes days to a week to accomplish this. You may be surprised, when you first receive it, that you oil it and the board has gone matte in 15-30 minutes (as pictured in one of my review photos). Over time, it will require less and less oiling as the wood fibers become saturated.- Expect it to drink up that oil like crazy at first, so be sure to order a LOT. Any food-grade mineral oil will do, but the manufacturer recommends Walrus Oil. This board is big, so it will need a lot. If you look up 13 Chefs on Amazon, just know the 12oz bottle wasn’t nearly enough when I first received this. Order at least two, or the 64floz.- Board butter will also become your best friend. Oiling is essential, but board butter will give it that silky soft feeling that is exquisite to have your hands on when you’re cooking.- Oil and especially board butter also help “heal” knife slices.- To prevent warping or cracking, do NOT submerge this board in water, put it in the dishwasher, store it by the oven, or fail to oil it. This is an heirloom piece IF you take good care of it.- Wipe down water with a rag after you wash it, don’t leave water on there. Stand it up on its side to dry, don’t lay it flat.- Don’t store it flat – store it on its side.Good luck and happy cooking!Variation: Color: Welton | Black Walnut | End Grain

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Brisket So far so good after a few months of use. Very solid, has lots of surface area for slicing large cuts of meat. Fits a 17lb brisket and the juice grooves are nice and deep.Variation: Color: Welton | Black Walnut | End Grain
