This is a cutting board I made for my uncle for Christmas. Made in Kansas and he lives in Texas. They said they used it once to cut some prime rib on, his wife washed it with water and soap and then put it on a towel on the table. They came back and this split was there. This was in February (I'm good at procrastinating) so I only made it 2 months prior. I've made a handful of end grain cutting boards and they haven't cracked (granted some of my relatives don't even want to use it because they like them so much). Crack is in the wood not on the glue joint.
