Great boards, beautifully worked, because there's nothing to complain about, it did for several weeks in use, as dulcimer, and it still looks like brand new. The size is also suitable as a breakfast board as well as a small chopping board. Since wood is the end of floor space, it takes probably "forever" eh times must be re-polished and oiled, this makes sense. Also, the pattern is in my view succeeded beautifully, has been a very special boards and worth every penny. Had some shortlisted and am really glad to have opted for this.
