But it was interesting! Look for some my links: I’d prefer reading in my native language, because my knowledge of your languange is no so well. But it was interesting! Look for some my links:

Crate and Barrel has one that's 17"x14" (and a 12x9) - currently on sale, too! And, as Andy says I'm seeing bamboo everywhere! Cost Plus now has a whole line of stuff very reasonably priced.

It resists cracking, warping, and staining. We are testing a set of spoons/spatulas out now...

It's about 14" long and 9" wide. It's end cut too with brown bamboo in the center. Bamboo is about 12 to 16% harder than maple, pretty too. My rolling, maple cutting board was built around the top from an old portable automatic dishwashing machine. It's lasted over 25 years without any problems. Well, okay there were a few problems. The guy who made it didn't use a decent glue and some portions delaminated from the maple. Since the company I work for makes such fancy high-tech glues, I got it glued right up without a hitch.

They sure look nice. I'll have to get one for around the kitchen and give it a try. Our plastic one is getting pretty bad. I wonder how bamboo would be to work with in order to make your own custom board. I'm working on a rolling cabinet that will have a butcher block top on it. Was going to go maple for it, but will have to consider the bamboo, too. Brenda, most of the bamboo one’s I’ve seen are pretty small. They sure look nice.

I find the plastic ones are a pain to clean well and end up just putting it in the dishwasher. My knives cut grooves in them that makes it a downright pain to clean chicken and pork fat out of. The wood ones wash clean with a few swipes of the sponge and warm water. Yeah, they do cost more though. But considering they will most likely last a few lifetimes, I figure it works out in the end. I end up replacing my plastic one once a year. Cheers! That’s funny, I only have 1 plastic one. I find the plastic ones are a pain to clean well and end up just putting it in the dishwasher.

I always had the opposite view on the grain. I figured the pressure on an end cut would split between the fibers - appreciate the tips. Now I know what to look for! That is a nice board.

They are harder than maple and supposedly resist staining much better, too. ~ B Todd: Have you considered the bamboo boards that are now readily available?
