My wife wanted a cutting board, but she didn’t want one that was so heavy it would be a struggle to use. This measures 11 1/2 x 9 1/2 and is 5/8 of an inch thick. It’s made with maple, walnut and cherry. It’s finished with mineral spirits. I guess I got it right, my wife loves it. It’s the perfect size and weight and she uses it at least once every day.
