Blemished Board September 23, 2008
This is a decent cutting surface to be used as a back up or if you cook with others and want a second surface or have very tight kitchen space. It is fairly small, but since I have a large end grain board, it is sized right as a small backup board for me. I will use one side for small cutting jobs and the other surface as a cheese and cracker/appetizer board for get togethers.

I have a few issues with the board at the price. The edges have no radius on them and are uncomfortably sharp. They need to be sanded round before use in my view. This should be done with an 1/8" or 1/4" machined radius on all corners during manufacture.

Secondly the board came with a plane mark stripe (done when planing the surface in manufacture) across the entire width of one cutting surface. The stripe is brown which leads me to believe it was burnt into the surface by the cutting blades as the board stopped moving through the planer for some reason.

Finally, the the other side had two noticeable compression dents right out of the box. Rock Maple is not easy to dent. This board was not packed well and the board was loose in the box with no padding on the interior of the box on the bottom surface. Sure enough, there were two impact perforation dents on the bottom of the box that convince me improper packing & shipping resulted in the compression dents.

That said, at this price a plane mark across an entire surface width, and the sharp edges add to my mark down of two stars. It is functional, but at the price with shipping, these finish issues are not acceptable in my book.
