Listing says its 15Lb.
I have a 15lb Teak chopping board and its heavy to maneuver and carry. My wife doesn't like moving it for this reason. Just keep that in mind.
I bought 2 of them. I won't be using them for cutting though, but likely as a stand / riser for something. Hard to find something like that for this price and weight support

According to the reviews and pictures posted on Walmart.com, this is not solid acacia but rather some would with a thin veneer. Maybe that doesn't matter if you're using it for a cutting board, but for all the people talking about using it for woodworking projects, this is probably not a good deal
Great deal! bought a few and going to try resawing into some end grain boards.
Nice, I had the same thought. For this price, I figure I'll buy two and cut one so I have a "matching" set with 2 orientations.
These edge grain boards are also great for carving designs with a CNC and filling with epoxy or alternate wood inlays for a center piece or charcuterie board.
Butcher block countertops (and hardwood floors) are usually built with layups that somewhat randomize the boards so that there are no visual lines going across the assembly. I don't know how you would do that starting with a prebuilt 18x23" assembly.
I'm not being critical, I'm looking for a way to build a larger top out of multiples of these cutting boards as well. Using dowels or Dominos makes it easy to butt join these boards, but I think that joint line would be very obvious and take away from the aesthetic.
Ripping it up and reassembling doesn't seem worthwhile and would leave you with a much smaller pattern of boards.

I looked through all the pictures and didn't see any evidence that these are veneered. Also, the end grooves for the handholds would be nigh impossible to apply a veneer to.

Just get some cabinet hardware, and screw them into the side of this thing... Now it has handles and you're good to go.

it's solid sticks of acacia. I have this board already.

Would love to hear ideas on this.
Vanities tops are ~23" in depth, at least ones at my house, the cutting boards are 23" made of single length sticks. So all I need to do is face off little bit off the 23" side that have beveled edge to make flush butt point and glue them together to make a continuous counter top.

Plus many makers of "tung oil" mix in all sorts of other things like varnishes etc which are toxic.
Food grade mineral oil is good, beeswax, coconut oils.
Just make sure it is food grade and used for cutting boards.
I agree that the mixture you use is right on.
Make sure you buy 100% pure tung oil.

How are you going to handle the joints?
