Must be a darn nice chopping block to be worth that much trouble. And what
does breaking in half in a heavy storm mean?

We just left it on a deck of a boat, like most fisherman do. A nasty weather
crumbles it under its own weight. Saw one for $90, I wonder if this one
will last. I will coat it with white mineral oil or EV olive oil.

I can't imagine why you left it in the rain, but chopping blocks should use
waterproof glue. If it split, it is defective.

Aren't chopping blocks water-proof? Aren't they meant for UV-lights, salts,
vibrations or normal fisherman abuses? And you say it isn't suppose break,
even left out on a boat?
