Is this one panel or a pack?

It is a single panel measuring 3/4 in. x 12 in. x 16 in. The nominal 1 in. in the name refers to rough lumber sizing, not the actual thickness.

Can I use it for a cutting board?

The wood is food-safe, so it suits food-contact use. Finish it with a food-safe oil or wax rather than a film finish, and finish both faces.

Why should I finish both sides?

Edge-glued panels take up and release moisture unevenly. A clear coat on the back as well as the front balances that movement and helps prevent cupping.

What does +/- 1/8 in. tolerance mean for my project?

Each panel can be up to 1/8 in. off the stated dimensions. Measure your piece before cutting joinery, and allow for slight variation between panels.

Is $89.99 a good price?

That is the best new price across four stores as of November 6, 2026. For a single 12 x 16 in. panel it is high compared with buying boards and gluing them up yourself.

Can I stain or paint it?

Yes. The mixed hardwoods take stain unevenly because species differ, so a gel stain or a coat of sanding sealer first gives a more even color. Paint covers it fully.
