At least it's hard. But that's the problem with bamboo cutting
boards, they look nice but the resin that forms the matrix is fairly
hard and slightly abrasive... dulls knives as though cutting on
manicurist's emery boards.

I like the new polypropylene boards, they don't dull knives, they are
made in all colors and configurations to satisfy any decor, and are
very inexpensive so you can afford a stack... after using just put in
the dishwasher. And they are typically impregnated with a germacide
that lasts the life of the board plus they don't absorb odors.
