He wanted a big cutting board with juice drainage in the center which is why it has the “X” in it. Not 100% happy with it, but it’s good enough.

Beautiful board. I want to get rid of all my plastic boards, and would love something like this. Does it hold up to every day use? Do the knife marks give it “character”?
Eh if you want to get rid of plastic maybe don’t replace it with something that’s 20% glue
I’m only using wooden boards, although not as pretty, since ever (means +30 years). They hold up very well with cutting. You can see the cut, when you push hard, but with wood they either vanish/fade out with time - or add character, as you said.
The thing that really destroys them is water. Wood is working all the time, when getting wet out drying. And if you get one, that is glued together, then they sometimes tend to break apart. Seems to really depend on the quality.
Single piece wood tends to deform a bit, also depending on wood type and quality - but I mostly just grab what looks/feels nice and hope for the best.
Dishwasher is pretty much a no-go.
I read somewhere, that plastic boards even have more bacteria in the cuts, but I can’t remember the reason…
