Splinters

I love the marked features but was surprised to find the wood was not as smooth as it should be. Product requires fine sanding before use. I oiled it with linseed (flax) oil too.

Beautiful

This is not only what I wanted and couldn't find in my local stores......it is so beautiful!

Pastry Board

Great board! Didn't realize that it is a cutting board on the reverse. Well made--don't forget to oil the board before first use and afterward.

Great Idea.

I love this board. It fits over my ceramic cooktop and gives me more working space. It also fits over the largest side of my sink and that gives me more room as well. I love the sizes being indicated on the board when rolling out crusts, etc. The price was terrific compared to the

Excellent pastry board

This is such a great pastry board. I would recommend it, and have, to my friends. I have been looking for a while for this and am glad I finally found it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Pastry Board

I have an island I use for baking which has tile so not very good for rolling out dough. This product solved the problem, great surface and large enough not to have flour falling all over the place. I place a very damp paper towels under it so it doesn't slide on the slippery tile surface. It would have been nice if in the description they would have mentioned about using a special oil to keep it the wood from drying out. A good buy for the money!

Love the markings on the board. They make everything really easy.

Found same item at a lowere price at another site.

This pastry board is just the right size for me. It's easy to store. I am having trouble, however, finding the oil to cure the board.

I particularly like the fact that this pastry board does not have the lip that wraps around the counter. While those others may be great for preventing slipping, they are awkward and hard to store. This pastry board is large which is wonderful, the markings come in handy or you can use the side that has no markings and it stores easily.

this is a handy board, easy to clean and nice for sizing pie dough.

A Great American made bread/pastry board!

I was looking for a large size board that is made in America. This is the one! It is perfect for my baking needs. I seasoned it with Walnut oil and it is just beautiful. Large enough to roll out those long pasta noodles and do anything else you want. The flip side of this board is beautiful, and in fact, I have been using that side most often. If you are looking for a large sized, durable, American made product, this is for you!

Your pastry board was the only one I could find that has the suitable dimensions (although it was also offered by some other stores at higher prices). Therefore, to one in need of that size pastry board, I would recommend it -- but only with a warning: Application of mineral oil to the surface, as the accompanying instructions recommend, raises the wood grain to an unacceptable degree. No pastry would ever come loose from it. This also calls into question the kind of wood used. I must sand the surface and redo.

Instructions included an optional treatment -- with a certain kind of varnish, I think. Perhaps that would work better -- I don't know, never heard of the brand. A caution against using tung oil was included...meaning, I'm sure, to avoid applying it alone, as with the mineral oil. That should be made clearer.

I shall scrub the board well with soap and water, let it dry thoroughly, sand, then apply the high quality sealer-finish I have used for forty years -- Waterlox. It contains tung oil but is food safe after it is dry. This is in the manufacturer's literature. It sinks into the wood, absolutely locks out water, does not raise grain and produces a beautiful finish that takes abuse gracefully, for years. Waterlox is used for wood kitchen counters. Recently, I used it on a large, new, unfinished kitchen island. Several applications are required. It dries within 24 hours, but for rough use the finished piece should be allowed to cure for a month. It is also expensive but worth the price...must usually be ordered directly from the manufacturer, in Cleveland -- www.waterlox.com.

My mother bought me this exact board 30 years ago. I love it. I got this one for my daughter . I could not find it in any store so i was very glad to have found it on line.

Excellent product-- I was looking for a large (but not too large) pastry board of good wood quality (vs. acrylic). This was exactly what I wanted: the markings on it for pastry can be ignored if you're using for other purposes, but come in handy if making pie crusts. Clean up is easy, too-- after all, it is wood!

As advertised, attractive, easy to use and store.

Great value. The size is perfect, and it's definitely one of my better purchasing decisions.

It works well for me.

I bought this board for use in my kitchen. I use it everyday for multiple things. I have not used the measuring side as yet, but Thanksgiving is near and I will be making pies. Hope it works as well as I think it will.
I am very happy I bought it.

Essential for pie baking!

I bought this for myself years ago to substitute for the huge slab of butcher block my mom and I always used to use to roll out pie and cookie dough. I love it! The marked circle guides are very useful, as are the inch markings on the sides to show rectangular sizes. I use it anytime I'm baking something that has to be rolled out. Mom's butcher block finally died last year so I am surprising her for Christmas with one of these of her own. I am sure she'll love it!

Loved the size and weight of the board. I had originally purchased as a gift for my sister who bakes. Upon arrival I ordered one for myself. It is a very thirsty wood and I oiled it for days.
