the reason i ask, is that i have a customer trying to tell me that the one inch thick, end grain cutting board, that was dead flat when i sent it out (put a quick coat of mineral oil on it, and it was still as smooth as a baby's butt), after a week or so of cutting just veggies (they claim), has visibly warped. they sent a couple of pics of where a part opened up about 1/32" (all edges were good when i sent it), and will send more pics to show that it warped. i'm not so sure that it can warp, unless left to soak. they say that the only thing done, was to put some butcher block conditioner on it (not sure what this was), and rinsed it with soapy water. not sure what to tell this guy, as the board was one of three that i've sold, and all were 3 years old, and dead flat when i mailed them this year. so far, this is the only mention of this happening to any of my boards over the lase 5 years, and the only thing i can think of, is that it was soaked in water long enough to cause damage.
