Is the description right? The edge grain 20X15X2-1/4 board lists for much less than $120 on johnboos.com. Is this really the end grain board?

I have two of these boards but larger so can not answer price you are asking about. Only can say his boards are the best, long lasting.

This is an edge grain board, not end grain. It is as specified... Great board from what I've experienced.... Heavy too.

I have the Boos RA03 24" by 18" by 2.25" for $89.99 through Amazon. I can't comment on your 20X15X2.25, but I can say : EDGE-grain is strips of maple or such hard woods laminated to form the board size- picture 2"X4"s laid side by side. You are cutting on the woods edge. END-grain is a board or such laid out with theends as the cutting surface. This would be like 2"X4"s cut to 2.25"s and then laminated vertically(you are cutting on the woods ends). I can say the John Boos boards will last a lifetime, just dont forget the mineral oil or Boos oil or beeswax products at least once a month. Hope this helps.

The Board in the picture and the board I have is an edge grain board. Edge grain is made of strips of wood like the plank wood in a 2x4. It is the cut from the length or height of the tree. End grain board are med by cutting pieces of lumber into blocks and gluing together with the end grain up (end grain would be the cut of wood that would show the growth rings of the tree. End grain boards tend to show scratches less and are a bit kinder on the knife's edge. Edge Grain boards are a little more resistant to staining and absorbing moisture. So it's a matter of preference as to which type of constructed board you want, but I am extremely happy with my edge grain board. Buy a good oil to preserve your board.

That does seem a bit high for the list and selling price. The 24x18x2.25 is only $76.57 right now, which is cheaper than the 20x15. Go for that.

I love this chopping board, I have several and all different types, this one is the favorite. I don't use it for raw meat.

I have a dresser I got from target (non-particle board) and desk (basic corner desk with reversible filing cabinet in black) from Walmart that the wood grain part matches. In a separate room I have a bookshelf that is a few shades darker, a basic 30-40$ particle board bookshelf you get from staples/Office Depot/max etc. since nothing was bought from the same companies or retailers there are slight variations, but it was a heck of a lot cheaper than a full on set with 7 pieces I didn't need

Yes and yes. One day, when I have more room, I will buy a bigger, more powerful bandsaw to resaw wider boards. For 4" lumber, it is tough to beat for the price.

here is a link for you. from the link, I'm guessing my board is an end grain because it it strips constructed into a single board. Whatever it is, I've had mine for months an love it. I do treat it regularly with oil and love. http://www.endgraincuttingboard.org/end-grain-vs-edge-grain-cutting-board/

Check out other sources. I found one place for about $25, but it may have shipping costs added. Play detective before buying--I do.

Right now it's down to $41 on Amazon and $30 on GreenPasture.org, but Green Pasture wanted over $11 for shipping. In fact it was only a 4-cent difference in price. It certainly pays to shop around.

Hello, This board is a few notches higher in quality than Wal Mart. But not as nice as a skate shop. I don't think the 150 pounds is too much for this board.I am told they sell these 'Punisher' boards at Toys R Us, if you want to check one out in person first, but the Amazon price is better. The board is nice, just not pro quality. The biggest problem is that the wheels are too soft, but you can upgrade them at a skate shop once your skills warrant it.

Try it from your store first if you have doubts. My experience is that it has a whole grain texture. I like it.

On the colored versions (i.e., non-woodgrain), the backing board is white. I don't own any of the wood-grain versions, but my guess is it's the same color as the grain, based on the picture (if it was white, it'd be clearly noticeable in the provided product picture).

No. 0.1 grains. Start looking in the $50,000 price range for 0.01 grain scales.

I'm pretty sure it's an edge grain board. Butcher block type boards are usually end grain. :)

My board is shorter than that, so I must have ordered a smaller size. However, I definitely think that the black ends are included in the size of the board. So if it advertises 15 X 21, I think that would work perfectly for you.

Yes, great quality board. The knife slots are a plus too. I've added a chum grinder to mine also. Definitely worth the value.

Charles, I see $41.95 as the current price, which is still a good deal. I caught them for $26 several months ago, that is one reason that I purchased two. I would have paid 42 if necessary, just saying. I am not a pro wood worker, just do it for the enjoyment, not rich either, try to get the best use of cost for this hobby. Oh, I got the Rockwell jaw horse from A. A very good investment. I am using it with auxiliary runners to hold chair leg blanks to route mortise joints. The runners are to give the router base a sturdy place to ride. I have a few more tips if you are interested. Rocketbob
