Is this wood cutting board absolutely pure wood without any steel bolts or rods in it? I need a board 15.5" (not 18") and may saw to my size.

There are no bolts or rods, at least none that are visible (and no wooden plugs that might be covering any).

Yes, the board does get slice marks after use. I wouldn't purchase again. I would stick with wood.

It is not made of real wood, but it looks and feels very solid. There are no exposed edges that reveal particle board cross-section.

The cool thing about this cutting board is that it's an end grain type wood meaning it's the more mature type of wood and won't be as easy to cut. Most cheap cutting boards are made of pine and they would probably be the easiest to splinter. This cutting board is extremely sturdy and won't cause you any splinters even with the sharpest knifes. Just be sure to dry it regularly and buy mineral oil to keep it moist. This is the best cutting board for the money imo.

Hi, Priscilla, I'm not sure what kind of wood it was, but FYI, despite the description saying that it was entirely hardwood, it was not. I don't remember now exactly which parts of it were not solid wood. We eventually replaced it and gave it away.

It is cedar ~5/8". Good quality, some knots.I think this is the wrong question though. The best hardwood out there will crack if you drive a #10 with no pilot hole. Cedar is a fairly light wood chosen for insect and rot resistance. I added hanging racks for hand tools using drywall screws carefully installed and it works fine. Heavier weight items should use the included layout for cutting shelves.

No sharp edges. No screws were included for the foot board so we don't use it

I don't know what kind of wood exactly but you can contact the company. I contacted the company for my questions before I purchased. They're pretty good about getting back to you quickly.

i have not cut the any pieces of wood to check the whether its wood or particle but looks of very nice and strong, well made, (my college sons are using it) then again with this price i have to think its made out of particles.

I have the Boos RA03 24" by 18" by 2.25" for $89.99 through Amazon. I can't comment on your 20X15X2.25, but I can say : EDGE-grain is strips of maple or such hard woods laminated to form the board size- picture 2"X4"s laid side by side. You are cutting on the woods edge. END-grain is a board or such laid out with theends as the cutting surface. This would be like 2"X4"s cut to 2.25"s and then laminated vertically(you are cutting on the woods ends). I can say the John Boos boards will last a lifetime, just dont forget the mineral oil or Boos oil or beeswax products at least once a month. Hope this helps.

Dont really know if it's solid wood. Needed a LARGE lazy susan for my table. Also would have wanted it to be heatproof so I could put hot dishes on it. Fixed that issue by going to a craft store and buying a sheet of cork that I cut to fit for when i have hot things.

I believe it was real wood. It has withstood the test of time. I was happy with the quality. I gave it as a gift so I do not have it here with me to double check. Nice size easy to store.

The bed is made really good. It's beautiful and I love the finish on it. As far as being solid wood I'm not sure but it seems like it is.

I just received this unit yesterday and assembled it last night. It is NOT wood. There are bits of wood here and there, but very little. It's fiberboard (MDF) with veneer. It actually looks quite nice, but given the fiberboard construction it is, as a previous comment suggested, very easily damaged. When something strikes the surface, it dents or tears the fiberboard and the veneer is crushed or scraped away. Mine, too, had some shipping damage, but not in a conspicuous enough location to send it back.

Yes, I just double checked mine to make sure. There is no particle board anywhere, even inside the drawers or on the back. It is solid pine. I have had two for almost a year and am very happy with them.

No, the knives are all 18/10 stainless steel and are highly polished (mirror finish) and very well balanced plus a very good length. Personally, I did not want wood. Polished stainless goes with just about anything and don't have to worry about wood fading or showing wear. These will last forever! I've had for a year and you really can't tell that they've ever been used! Hope this helps. J

I made my own from 1/4" stainless steel threaded rods, wingnuts, and plywood. The two models I purchased were garbage, so I returned them for a refund. You may contact my for a simple design.
