re: Large wooden cutting board recommendations?

I made an end grain cutting board. I greatly prefer it to my edge grain cutting boards. It sucked up a ton of mineral oil when I finished it, but it looks great many years later.
It does require maintenance - coating with mineral oil/bees wax every five years or so. I probably should do it more often, but in all honesty, it looks great so I don't think about doing it.

Rat, I have one of those boards, too....bought it from Fante's in Philly, but I'd never use it as a cutting board, only for pastry.

I usually make them as gifts for friends and family every year at Christmas. I know the yield is better when using the face, but using the end grain for your cutting boards makes all the difference in the world as far a longevity and durability, plus less wear and tear on your knives. Try making one that way and see how you like the end result.

Most important quality is that it is end grain. You’ll pay more but it’s the best material. Your knives will thank you.

I'm planning on trying an end grain at some point.... I wanted to make a few edge grains first to get a feel for it then try end grain

I bought an oak butcher block countertop from lumber liquidators. Tablesaw, sander, mineral oil.

Profit.

Pro tip: Glue scrap pieces of wood on the ends so you prevent chip out when planing end grain.
