It says 49.99 used, and when I click to buy new for 10.99 it changes to candles 
This is why I hate amazon.

Decorative vs. Utilitarian cutting board

Ha! That's where I'm at with mine right now, lol. Got it (Boos) like a year and a half ago, but I only use it for BBQ stuff. I'm really careful with it, probably because it was so expensive. Still looks practically new. Once it gets some knife marks in it, I'll run it into the ground. At the end of the day though, you're right; it's just a big chunk of wood, MEANT to get knife marks on it, hahaThe Hot Pepper said:

I'll have you know that the Q*bert board IS end grain, Sir!The Hot Pepper said:The end grain "heal" because you don't cut into them, you open the grain and it closes. Unless you buy that weird Q*bert one where you'd be cutting diagonal.

And, not for nothing, but WTF is this shit?!
You've already got a file of preloaded "MikeUSMC Connecticut snob" pics?! WTF?!
I know the Q*bert is end grain! But the guy puts the grain diagonal which defeats the purpose of an end grain. The point of end grain is your knife will slice with the grain and then heal. If it's diagonal you will make a mess of the wood cutting through the grain. Like how JayT cuts a brisket
EDIT: I don't think it really matters, I've seen end grain go all such ways, as long as it goes "up" is the point.

My favorite board is a 14" Neoflam microban, it's non skid due to the rubber ends and it cuts nice without dulling my blades. I have an older one, it has a smooth and channeled side.

Same deal with wood, the serrated seems to do a number on them. My dark walnut looks new except for some black grooves made from serrated.

The little cafe where I started washing dishes at back around 1978, close to the Jurassic era, had a large typical wood cutting board permanently in place on the work counter. About 24"x30". One of my jobs as the Saturday dishwasher was to bleach the cutting board, the cooks sandwich pret board (that narrow one attached to the sandwich ingredients refer) and Flossie's baking board.
That old prep cutting board was so concaved on 2 work end sides a regular knife wouldn't even cut flat on it! You had to use the short 6-8" chef knife to chop the 4 quarts of oysters on Tuesday for Wednesday's Oyster Stew daily special. Saturday's cleaning routine was 1-2 cups of bleach (once a week... I THINK!!!) rub it into the wood, let it soak for 20 minutes, wipe it off and wrap up for closing on Saturday afternoon. Closed on Sunday, so Monday morning the cutting board was back open for bidnis!
Those old restaurant chopping blocks are cool as shit. They are end grain but can be a 8" tall. You can smack a cleaver down on a goose neck no problem. After years of usage they get a bit concave but they are so thick it doesn't matter.
You don't need a cutting board, you need a Puddy to install a garbage disposal!!
