Mesquiteman - thanks very much for the suggestion. I actually have thought about it; the company I purchased from - Ozarkwest, makes mesquite boards too. Mesquite does sound great aesthetically too - I love the reddish, warm look of aged cherry, and I understand mesquite has a similar look...

Well, thanks again for the additional comments and feedback. AMSeccia - I think that the way the cherry ages just makes it look more beautiful - richer and darker. I don't think she'd mind that. However, even though many of you prefer the photo #3 with the all-cherry board, unfortunately I...

Celiac - I'm definitely planning on getting her a Kitchenaid stand mixer. I was going to get the special copper professional 620 model they have at Williams Sonoma. I've been a little hesitant because I honestly don't know whether she bakes much, but it seems like a wonderful kitchen appliance...

AMSeccia - Thanks so much for your feedback. I haven't seen her kitchen lately, but she lives in S. Florida. I don't know what that indicates, but I don't imagine a 'cottage' type feel. Actually, I picture most homes in S. Florida with light colors and woods, but I just think either the cherry...

Pastaking - thanks. Did you get your board from Ozarkwest? What do you think of it; the finish and quality, etc.? Was it really smooth and shiny when you first got it? I really love the aged cherry boards, with their rich, burgundy color. However, I'm concerned that it will look very light...
