- Made in USA Black Walnut Wood Cutting Board by Virginia Boys Kitchens - Butcher Block Wooden Carving Board with Juice Well made from Sustainable Hardwood (17x11)

This Black Walnut Wood Cutting Board is absolutely beautiful and feels incredibly sturdy. The wood is smooth, well-finished, and adds a touch of elegance to my kitchen. It’s thick and durable enough for heavy chopping, yet gentle on knives, which I really appreciate. Cleaning and maintenance are simple, and the board has held up well with regular use. Overall, this is a premium, American-made cutting board that’s both functional and stylish—I highly recommend it.

This cutting board is exceptionally sturdy and, with proper care, it is sure to provide decades of use. The surface is smooth, and the color of the black walnut wood is truly gorgeous. The cutting board is highly functional, featuring a well-designed liquid-capturing channel that surrounds the entire board. The corners are smoothly finished with square edges. Its light weight makes it easy for anyone to handle. The size we purchased is perfectly sufficient for our needs, and it is also available in larger sizes. The care instructions included in the package are very helpful. I would highly recommend this product to anyone seeking a high-quality, non-toxic cutting board.

I have owned the Virginia Boys Kitchens 8x12 Solid Maple Wood Cutting Board for only three months, and unfortunately, it has already developed a visible crack. I have been diligent in caring for it, regularly treating the wood with their recommended cutting board oil and wax, yet the crack still appeared prematurely. While I understand that wood cutting boards naturally require maintenance and can develop wear over time, I would have expected this quality board to last at least a year before showing any signs of cracking. The fact that it began to crack so soon is disappointing and, frankly, unacceptable given the price and brand claims of durability. I reached out to Virginia Boys Kitchens through their website, noting their satisfaction guarantee, but I have yet to receive any response or assistance. This lack of customer support only adds to my frustration. In summary, while the board is made from solid American maple and came with quality care products, its early cracking and poor customer service lead me to caution potential buyers. I hope Virginia Boys Kitchens improves their product longevity and responsiveness going forward. If this board was inexpensive I may not have rated it a 1 star. But the fact that it is fairly expensive and the quality is deteriorating I really expected much more.

Quality is exceptional. You get what you pay for from this company. This cutting board and cleaning supplies was a gift for a friend who wanted only a walnut product. It should last for years; if properly cared for. Craftsmanship is incredible with beautiful wood.

Cutting area nice and smooth. Looks good. Wished the sides were sanded smoother. It is a bit rough and caught on my cloth a few times as I was initially treating the board

Update - I'm leaving my initial review below, but a few months ago VBK support had reached out to me after I had submitted a help request and they have replaced the cutting board and I haven't had a problem since. It will require some more effort to condition the board since it's not as dense or naturally oily like teak, but once it has been well seasoned, it'll be just like any other wood cutting board in the pantry needing occasional conditioning. The replacement board had a finer finish so I didn't have to do any sanding on any of the edges, glad to see they're improving their production. Support was also very engaged and made sure I was taken care of. I'll gladly be purchasing from them again. --- Initial review - I was looking for a board that was produced domestically and I thought I had found the answer. The dimensions were perfect and it seemed like it was a decently crafted piece. Parts of the board seemed a little less finished, the juice channel and one outer edge was rough and needed to be sanded down with a higher grit sandpaper. The initial 7 day oil priming wasn't ideal but also not a big deal. But after a little over a month of use, I noticed it started to slide on the countertop. Looking closely, it was starting to warp. It had never sat in water, or had ever been submerged. I conditioned the board with their branded oil weekly and a few days later it just completely warped, twisted so that only 2 opposite corners would touch the counter top. Absolutely floored that something this expensive couldn't even make through a year. I have inexpensive box store boards that I've had for nearly 2 decades without needing anything more than maybe an annual oil conditioning. Really wanted to support something that is American made, and I still will, just not VBK products.

They are well made, sturdy and beautiful cutting boards- thanks Virginia Boys!

Really great looking. The edge routed on the board is great for catching juices.
