Know before you buy
End-grain construction is highly prized because the wood fibers are oriented vertically. This allows your knife blade to slide between the fibers rather than cutting across them, which keeps your knives sharper for longer and helps the board 'self-heal' from deep cuts.
Because this board is made of natural teak, it is not dishwasher safe. Clean it by hand-washing with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a towel. To keep the wood from drying out, apply a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax conditioner periodically.
The board features a dedicated cutout that holds the included round teak plate. It is designed to sit flush with the surface, allowing you to easily sweep vegetable peels, scraps, or prepped ingredients directly into the plate for a cleaner workspace.
Yes, at approximately 15 pounds, this board is quite substantial and stable. Its weight and thickness prevent it from sliding around the counter during heavy-duty tasks like chopping or carving.
No, each board is crafted from natural, sustainably sourced teak, meaning every piece features unique grain patterns and color variations. You should expect your board to have its own distinct character that differs slightly from the images shown.
