Product Description

Amazon.com Review
Fast-growing in nature, bamboo is also fast-growing in popularity as one of the most environmentally friendly, renewable resources available. Totally Bamboo prides itself on using only hand-selected, China-grown "moso" bamboo, which is not a food source or habitat for the giant panda, and which grows to harvestable size in just 3 to 5 years. Totally Bamboo follows strict environmental guidelines for processing and fair labor policies for its workers. And, the toxin-free products contain no dyes, stains, or glues containing formaldehyde. p The large Congo Parquet 17-1/4-by-13-3/4-by-1-inch cutting board from Totally Bamboo's African collection makes a superb gift for the home chef. Like rock-solid butcher blocks made of wood, the board is composed of strips of bamboo laid in end-grain fashion. By alternating direction of the strips, an attractive parquet pattern is achieved, dark-colored in the center of the board with two lighter curved sides. Harder than maple, bamboo won't absorb water, crack, or peel, yet won't dull your good knives. The warm honey color, which comes from an oven-heating process that caramelizes the bamboo's natural sugars, goes all the way through, won't fade, and can even be sanded. After use, simply wash the board lightly with warm, soapy water, and wipe now and then with mineral oil. I--Ann Bieri/I

 Good Value January 8, 2009
S. Chandrasekar (Washington DC)
For the longest time, I had my heart set on a nice maple butcher block. OK, I'm exaggerating...I've wanted one since Alton Brown said that they were the best. But, I was willing to give this bamboo cutting board a chance once I saw the price of the aforementioned butcher block. br / br /I wouldn't really know how to compare this to other cutting boards so I'll make some high level observations. First, it hasn't cracked (unlike every other wood cutting board that I've ever purchased). Second, since bamboo is so hard, the board has remained relatively unmarred despite daily use (with my Wustof knives). Finally, it is an attractive board and the size is just right for the veggies that I find myself cutting.
 Warps and cracks December 27, 2008
R. Davis
Owned for a year now. This board was highly recommended by Cook's Illustrated, so I bought it. It came slightly warped, which worsened with time. Cracked as well -- even though I oiled it a few times.

Mine arrived slightly concave, so it didn't sit flat on the counter. I had to return it.
Stay Away from Totally Bamboo October 4, 2008
Jonathan Sage (Seattle, WA USA)
I bought two of their other endgrain cutting boards and both bowed and cracked in under a month of use. The second of the two boards was oiled 3 times in that one month period and still cracked and bowed. Bamboo also stains much faster than traditional cutting boards do. br / br /STAY AWAY!
