In case anyone is deterred by some of the reviews about cracking, just look up how to properly care for a wood cutting board.
Most of the negative reviews have some thirsty looking boards. End grain boards especially require a lot of mineral oil in the beginning to keep it from drying out. It's an ongoing maintenance thing, not a one and done preventative measure. Beeswax will help protect it as well.

it looks nice and would have liked to keep it, but returning because there's a small crack/gap that's kinda concerning and hard to ignore especially if it's a risk of bacterial growth
You must really hate your knives.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't know if you can understand this, but there's actually a third reason.
End grain is the only type worth using.
Skip the the mineral oil. Use 2:1 Tung oil to Orange Oil (solvent). It'll keep your board in great shape for a year+ rather than a couple months.
Does tung plus citrus darken boards? https://www.finewoodwor
I know nothing about wood, but I want some nice boards. I got this one before I read the comments on acacia fully. I'm going to use it just for bread, so I think it will last a bit.
The board arrived, but it was squared-off about 5 degrees. I called amazon and they're sending out a replacement.
I've got some wood bookcases on either side of my wood mantel in my 1936 log home. I will learn how to strip them and make the wood shine warmly. I have a learning curve in front of me.

As far as darkening is concerned: all finishes change the hue of the wood. Personally, I love the finished product and don't think it looks out of the ordinary. Maple, cherry, and walnut all look as you'd expect in my experience.
In my opinion, you should use it as you would any cutting board! Unless you're more interested as displaying it as art (which some people are), I'd recommend just using it. Eventually you'll need to resurface it, but that's up to you how often you want to do that.

Do you have an online source to buy them separately, or do you just go local?
