The wood was well seasoned, all joints were of good fit and were well assembled and clamped. The cutting board later de-laminated in use (not in the dish washer).
I've made subsequent cutting boards using similar wood and similar techniques, but have used Titebond I. All are holding up fine under regular use.
Kind of makes you wonder about the manufacturers claims of these products? I used Titebond III two or three summers ago to do some gate repairs on a 25 year on red ceder board fence we have around the swimming pool. So far those repairs still seem solid after several yearly season cycles.
