Bamboo Cutting Board 14x10 with Handle

I don't usually do wood cutting boards because I don't like the idea of meat juices soaking into the wood, but I thought I'd give this one a try.
It's made of bamboo, which is great since it's ecologically responsible, but after a few uses and washes I have noticed the wood splitting in some areas. Perhaps this is typical of a wooden cutting board? You tell me.

The handle is sturdy and secured nicely to the board and the size is great. I would prefer the little divots around the outside so the juices don't spill onto the counter while I'm cutting.

At $20 I'd say pass on this, the splitting of the wood doesn't seem like a good sign.
