United States of America Shaped Bamboo Serving and Cutting Board

I was looking for a gift for my father-in-law who has lived in Wisconsin all his life. He is a big Wisconsin Badgers fan and I wanted to find something that he most likely didn't have. He also likes to cook and entertain and I found this cutting board during my searches. I actually already have the New Jersey board since that's where I was born so I knew what kind of board I was ordering. In this review, I will reference both the Wisconsin and New Jersey cutting boards. These cutting boards are made of bamboo and are cut in the shapes of the states of the United States. They are made in China. The Wisconsin board measures (at the biggest dimensions considering the shape of the state) about 13 inches tall by 12 inches wide by 5/8 inches thick. The dimensions on the tag included match what I measured. The New Jersey board (also the biggest dimension considering the state's shape) measures 15 1/4 inches tall by 10 inches wide by 5/8 inches thick. Washing instructions are fairly simple. You can wash with warm water and a mild detergent. With a lot of my bamboo kitchen accessories, I wipe some mineral oil on them when the bamboo starts to look a little dry. This helps to give it a refreshed look. Do not place these boards in the dishwasher. I love these cutting boards and my father-in-law loved his when we gave it to him! He cuts up a lot of meat and cheese for snacks so he used it a lot right away. I use my New Jersey board too and these are well-made and easy to clean. They even come with a suede loop at the top so you can hang it up and use it as decor if you want. I'm considering getting the Wisconsin one for our family too and it's plenty big enough for cutting up a lot of food. It also makes a great conversation piece! We love these boards and I'm considering giving more of these as gifts to family and friends as needed! They are well-made, look like a great quality piece and are nicely-priced. If you need a gift for a friend or family member, these are perfect and I highly recommend them!

I got this as a gift for a Florida lover. I gave it to the recipient along with some Jimmy Buffett themed kitchen items. She was thrilled. I like the fact that this board can be used as a cutting board, or a charcuterie board, or simply as a decorative item. I didn’t notice any odor to the board whatsoever.

I give these gifts to friends who diplomats here in the USA but are leaving to return to their home countries. They love them.

I'm so In Love with my cutting board which won't be used for that, I'm going to hang it over my Grandma's Westinghouse Roaster and we're both from The Queen Of The Southwest. I'm proud of my Home State, my Daddy's family we're Arizona Pioneers. It's really a quality board and very very nice, I can't rate it as a cutting board because I didn't purchase it for that reason. But I believe they have all the States. And the Bamboo is beautiful and super smooth. I absolutely recommend it and I appreciate the quality. Highly recommended!

sturdy, perfect map of MN and washes well

It was nice wish it was alittle bigger

The cutting board is finished nicely and accurate scale size.

They make a great gift

Esto me permite tener un recordatorio constante de mi estado de nacimiento. Es de excelente calidad y me encanta cómo se ve en mi cocina.

Bought as part of our camping gear. Nice board, and this shape lends itself to being held by the north end of the state. Quality wood, not too thick, but not too heavy to handle, either

Das ist ein super schönes Brett. Top verarbeitet und da es zu schade zum benutzen ist hängt es bei mir an der Wand. Ich liebe es :)

Green Bay fan loved his original gift.

Sin problemas con el pedido en cuanto al producto este es de buena calidad, tal como se ve en la imagen. Resulto de muy buen tamaño.
