“This project will make a beautiful board but be aware it is not a simple glue it and sand a little and be done. The pieces aren’t perfect. I have a router sled and used that to flatten the board. After sanding the board looked amazing. Great pattern!! Just be aware your gonna need a router sled or a planner for this kit.”

“As others have written, the kit pieces are a crapshoot. Luckily, like a few other reviewers, I have a planer, drum sander, etc. to be able to get this kit into a good looking board. Upon stacking the pieces together for a dry fit I noticed a few gaps in the wood that would not disappear even with cranking down the clamps. I also noticed that they were slightly uneven in height. So I had to run them through my planer to true the faces up. Once I got the whole board glued up, I had to run it through the drum sander (it was easier to get to than my planer) to get both sides flat. Once everything was flattened, sanded, and oiled they look pretty good. Bottom line is that if you don't have the power tools (planer or drum sander) to finish up (repair) this kit, don't buy it. I purchased 2 kits in-person at my local Woodcraft store and I even picked the best looking ones out of their inventory.”

“This is not "ready to glue". However it is a nice assortment of wood cut to the same dimensions and with some care in prep, and trimming/sanding flush after glue-up, it makes a beautiful cutting board. I'm pretty happy with mine.”

“None of the pieces are square. No matter how you arrange it there will be large gaps between glue lines. I even picked the best one from the available ones at the store and still can't make an acceptable product from it without re milling all the stock. I will be returning it unused.”

“Love this combination of wood. Just made this set and it was my first cutting board. Colors really popped when the Walrus Oil was applied!”

“I bought two of these kits intending to do an easy glue up project with my grandchildren. It turned out they were very poorly milled, and in the end, I needed to do the work myself in order to get it in as good of shape as possible and then plane down both sides, then correct the sloped edges. It will not be quite as noticeable now but it took a fair amount of milling on both sides and edges that the end result is not as big as you'd expect. What I learned from this is not to buy these kits online from Woodcraft. I did buy one a couple of years ago from the store near me and, of course, it could be felt and you could see that it had been milled correctly. I suspect these kits went on a good sale precisely because they knew they had a bad delivery of poorly milled stock to get rid of. But I expect better of Woodcraft.”
