The cutting board is reversible with one side with a juice canal.
The 16x12 surface is big enough for most of my cuttings and I do not not buying a bigger size.
On top of everything the look of this cutting board is really awesome.
I would have given it a 5 start if the glue line where not imperfect in some spot making me fear that the board will not last forever.This is one solid cutting board much harder than oak! I believe I will have it for the rest of my life with proper care. I rubbed in edible mineral oil (get it at the pharmacy)after I first washed it in warm soapy water (air dry) and after three months it still doesn't need another treatment. The canal is deep enough for catching juices from a rib roast and for using when you cut up partially frozen chicken. It doesn't stain when you cut up red bell pepper. I use the canaled side for meat and the smooth side for vegetables. Yes, with the end grain board you can use it for everything with a proper washing in between of course AND it doesn't dull your knives.

This is a very nice and beautiful cutting board. Very heavy. Not as portable as your typical 1/2" board. You won't be one-handing it sliding food into the stir fry wok, but very nice.I shopped for a couple of weeks before I selected this board. I looked at Michigan Maple Block, which I really wanted, but the rectangular size was too big for my cupboard. I really wanted a John Boos cherry block, but it was more than I wanted to spend. While I would have liked this a little thicker, it is sufficient for what I use it for and the dimensions are perfect for my cupboard. It is a beautiful board and I enjoy oiling it. It is perfect for the chopping I do and is better for my Shun knife than my other thin board. It is a great board for a great price. I would buy it, again.Want Proteak Teak Cutting Board Rectangle 16-by-12-by-2-Inch with Juice Canal, End Grain Discount?
I just received my cutting board. It is quite a substantial piece. When I opened the box, the board looked rather dull and dry. I am using Boos Board Cream to cure the cutting board. The Proteak website said to put 4 to 5 coats on to properly cure the board. I could not believe the difference before and after. I should have taken a picture before I touched the board. This thing is gorgeous! The board cream brought out the deep, rich beauty of the wood. I think this will be a fixture on the counter top. It would be a shame to put something so beautiful inside a cabinet where it could not be seen. I have never had such a nice cutting board. I am glad I bought it and have no doubt it will last the rest of my life.. with care.I am also very pleased with the Boos Board Cream I bought with the cutting board. I have a couple of very nice wooden bowls for fruit, etc. I cannot wait to see how they look after a treatment with the board cream.John Boos 5 Ounce Block Board Cream with Beeswax
