Reviews for Classic Cutting Board Kit - Maple, Cherry & Walnut

the wood was just ok some were cup and a few had bug wholes that right in the size that I was planning to use...lol that's just bad luck, but the first order I received some months ago was outstanding .

I ordered a cutting board and all I got was a box of wood and some glue. Talk about 'some assembly required.' :) The wood arrived well packaged and in good condition. I also ordered the glue and mineral spirits since it was cheaper than buying the same locally. There was plenty of wood--more than I was expecting--which allowed me to make one cutting board and two small (what I'm calling) cheese boards. Why the 4 starts instead of 5? One board had a huge snipe problem. It was very noticeable and was unusable as is and should not have been included in a cutting board kit. I had to drive to a friend's shop and borrow his planer to fix it. Even still, it was a great kit.

Boards arrived in good shape. One of them had a small dent, in a shape as if it was hit against the corner of something, I assumed this happened in the shipping process. That was not a big deal. The only reason I did not give five stars is that the oil had come loose and leaked out on to a few of the boards and soaked one corner of the cardboard a bit. It was not a significant amount of oil, not enough to ask for a return and wait on a new package, but enough to be an annoyance and wish that it didn't happen. This was a perfect amount of wood to make a decent size cutting board but I am going to order more wood to make a bigger one and a few as gifts.

Have not started project yet but wood seems of the highest quality. Expect good results when project is started.

One of the pieces of Mahogany had small knot holes - I filled them with epoxy and will make that side the back side of the cutting board. The Walnut and Maple pieces were straight and without flaw.

The only issue was one of the pieces of walnut was slightly warped. I was able to make my thin cuts from the warped area and make it all work. Very nice board
