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.

I get it. That's character to me. I have 2 knives that are high carbon steel and standing water on the blade is a big no-no.

On a side note - told a friend about this post and my question and she showed me a board made from a stump of a tree from her childhood home. Its 20+ years old with weekly use and a bimonthly oiling and just looks well used. Never know it was that old and super cool.

She said if her house was on fire, she'd "save her' kid's photos and then the board.....maybe the board first." 🤣
