eBay with annbosinks has the Kobi KCB107 14" x 10" x 1" Butcher Block Cutting Board for $25 with free shipping. Costs around $35 and up elsewhere. Made from 100% Michigan maple wood, weighs 5lbs, and includes cutting board maintenance guide.
Except, this is not a 'butcher block' cutting board. True butcher block would be end-grain on the cutting surface... the photos show the cutting surface is side-grain, which is less expensive to build.
It's not a bad cutting board, it's just not a butcher block.
All true. I have an "end grain" cutting board that has held up remarkably well under steady use. In terms of preferred method of construction, the style shown here won't have the longevity of the other.
MADE in USA. No question on quality. Buy it now !
