Let this be a lesson to anyone who uses anything but mineral oil on their cutting board. Mine shriveled up got all crooked and started falling apart. So be careful what you put on those boards, you just never know what will happen. Sorry Larry to use your name on this, I know it’s an abomination.

Don’t put anything on this other than glue IE no oil before glue ,when it is finally hardened up then oil it.The glue you have been using doesn’t appear to be non waterproof glue IMHO thats whats at fault here not oil.

How strange, I use mineral oil all the time and other than it sliding off the counter it holds together fine.

I know you mentioned the problems you were having but I underestimated the extent of this disaster.
Cutting boards are simple easy and fun?????

Don’t listen to any of these negative people! I am ashamed of their comments.
Besides my boss seems to like your design, and he has authorised me to purchase your item. My boss is currently in Nigeria and he would like to send you a rather large check for the purchase of said item. Please deduct your manufacturing costs, your shipping costs, your supply costs (mineral oil, sulphuric acid, blow torch, duct tape ect.), and please send him the rest of the left-over money in good faith. Please act now, so your cutting boarrd will soon be part of our Nigerian Collection. Please wire funds to Prince Scamafraudula.

I’ve never seen a cutting board quite like this before.
