If you want to make an investment in a professional grade cutting board that makes your kitchen look about 10 times better, teak is the way to go. People aren't used to seeing that funky wood grain and there's just no other cutting board that's going to get as many compliments.This kitchen tool is a work of art. Beautiful word grain patterns. I purchased this with the recommended conditioner and gave it four or five treatments before using it to season it properly. Don't skip this important step. The only thing I would have liked are small silicon pads on the reverse side to stop it from sliding around. It looks impressive sitting on the counter and suggests you take your cooking seriously.

Upon receiving my new cutting board I loved the initial size and appearance. However, after looking at it I noticed that it has three places where the wood is not bonded well together and is actually separated. I don't know if this will cause a problem with warping or if sealing the board (with Boos) will correct the situation.This is a beautiful chopping block that really saves my knives. Tons of surface area to chop or display cheeses, etc. The bowl cutout if helpful...I place a plate under it and then sweep my chopped veggies for soup, salad or whatever onto the plate for transfer. I think it would also be nice with the bowl cutout side up with a bowl resting on it and crackers and cheese displayed so it is also like a serving tray. Only negative it is a bit cumbersome to clean because it is so big and heavy but it is worth it. I love having the prep surface a few inches off the counter. Worth the $I ordered this board from ProTeak on Amazon after trying 3 other boards from 2 other companies. First of all, returning with Amazon selected sellers is a breeze. This Teak Cutting slab is the perfect size and thickness. The board arrived in perfect condition and absolutely beautiful! After the board block oil was applied, the color just jumped out! I love the cut out, it looks like it will be very handy. I have not yet used the board, as I am treating it right now. But I expect to enjoy it immensely! I hope that I have success uploading my pictures.
