"My cutting board arrived today. It's a work of functional, beautiful and durable and BALANCED art ===>I could write a book about it. I am a retired chef. Very few boards 'measure up'. This one does.
It's too-perfect...I need to oil and bash it with my knives and this will be fun.
Bless you and your company for the finest of all work."
