Wooden Cutting Boards

This is #3 down.  It's ashame as I love them.  But at least I know this fact and haven't paid for a beautiful artisan board that I want so bad.

    The problem is moisture.. getting wet and then drying out and repeat.

    My problem is my counters are small and it ends up next to the sink. Seasoning with oils may keep the water at bay but im just not good at it.

    Wow! Mine is close to 10 years old and sits in the counter right next to the sink. All day, every day. It is 2" thick, end grain. Not expensive, I got it at Home Goods. I am far from responsible! I hardly ever oil it - about once every 6 months or is it every year or two? While it doesn't look new, it comes close. I only use it for vegetables. I try to wipe off moisture when the top gets wet, but that's really all I do.

    It has no feet and so is completely reversible. I do use spacers to keep it up off the counter. Lets air circulate and doesn't let the wood sit in any water that may get under there. They were very expensive... the plastic lids off of four small coffee cans. 

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Good tip.  It is certainly the moisture that gets under there when doing dishes.  I do not know why I didn't think of a spacer.

    Carolina Q also made a salient point - thickness. Try to get at least a 1.5 inch-thick board. This probably helps the most.

    I always make sure mine sits over night on the stove grates if I have to wash it so it gets air from all sides and if I just cut veggies I keep a spray bottle of white vinegar and just spray and wipe. I oil every couple months and they are fine now. I went through a couple in the learning process though.

     He does a lot of bbq. And we all know that should be     chopped, not just pulled or sliced. :)
