Questions people ask
What is vertical grain?
Bamboo strips stood on edge and glued into a block, so the knife meets the end of the fibres. It resists cutting and warping better than a flat-laid board.
Is it wood?
The title says wooden. The material field says bamboo, which is a grass.
How thick is it?
Two centimetres, given in the dimensions field.
Does it have a groove?
Yes, a juice groove, and the board arrives pre-oiled.
Why only 289 ratings?
It is a smaller listing than the others here, so the evidence is thinner even though the specification is better.
