Much glossier and smooth in real life. The end grain up construction is difficult, costly, and time consuming, however the results are a cutting board that will stand up to a lifetime of daily use. The wood is glued together with Tite-Bond II (water resistant wood glue that is suitable for salad bowl construction etc.) and finished with mineral oil (the kind safe for human consumption). Mineral oil will seal the wood against staining and absorbing food, and mineral oil will not go rancid as will vegetable oil, olive oil, etc. Tung oil, as well most other wood finishes are not rated for contact with food. Both sides of this beautiful piece are finished equally down to a glossy 600grit. I would suggest actually cutting on one side and serving on the other, as cutting will leave scratches in the wood. These scratches can be minimized with a re-application of mineral oil. Mineral oil is availible in the pharmacy section of any supermarket. Wash in sink with room temp soap and water, then dry. Do not wash in dishwasher. No prolonged contact with water or moisture. Net 4 lbs All serious offers will be considered.
