The boards, whether bamboo, oak, walnut, or this Japanese Cypress found in this Shun board all tend to be glued/pieced together. Water and glued wood do NOT mix well, and most every glued cutting board I've ever owned started to warp and eventually separate. You do not want spaces for food to get into and create bacteria on your cutting board, and beyond that, the separation often gets so bad they become essentially unusable, anyway.
Olive wood boards are usually solid and have anti-bacterial properties naturally occurring in the wood, itself. They're extremely strong and resist cutting or damaging your fine knives, and they are easy to care for by just lightly coating them with olive oil every now and then to condition the wood. I've found the best deals on larger pieces at Marshall's and Trader Joe's if you're interested.

So plastic cutting boards are better?
