TeakhausTeak Cutting Board - Circular End Grain Cheese Board And Butcher Block (18 x 2 in.) -

1週間程度早めに届きました。海外からだったので心配でしたが、梱包もしっかりしていました。画像で見るともう少し艶のある色をしていたのですが、自宅にある食用オリーブオイルでまな板をよく拭いて艶を自分で出しました。画像のような色合いになりました。他のところより値段がお安かったのでとても気に入っています。

This is a very nice piece of craftsmanship. Beautiful and functional. Upon arrival the surface was smooth as silk. I enjoyed just rubbing my hand across it.In its original state the board was a mottled combination of squares in light grays, blacks and browns. Upon oiling, which is periodically necessary on these, the color changed to rich earthtones, as depicted on the Amazon site for this product.The first photo shows the board right out of the box. The second shows the oiled board on my oak table, which I oiled at the same time. The color change of the board (and the table) is remarkable. These photos have not been doctored in any way.I've found Catskill's Butcher Block Oil to be very useful.

See the headline.

This round laminated teak cutting board looked great at first, but a few weeksafter oiling the board it separated at 2 of the lamination joints. Used a tablesaw to salvage 2 smaller rectangular boards.

The cutting board I received did not even remotely resemble the one I ordered. It was linear, monotone dark, and had a repeat geometrical pattern. I called Amazon, they provided return shipping and gave me credit on the order, but it was a huge waste of time. I ordered this for a Christmas gift with ample time to receive it for the holidays. By the time I got the wrong item, it was too late to order another one. Very disappointing. There was a refund but somehow it would have felt better if someone said I'll check into this or sorry that this happened. They said it was the last one....last one of what? cutting boards? It seemed their theory was, send what you have, maybe they'll keep it anyway.
