The board is actually processed very good and also looks very good! Have it rubbed before first use with olive oil and let soak in the oil ... Have the board now really very often in use and it can be seen no cut marks on the fnish. Did it have meat, fruits, vegetables, etc. cut, which indeed leaking juice, but none of it has the board discolored in any way, or leave stains! Still looks like when you buy! Cleaning allows the board just under fleißendem water and seek that was it ...
