Butcher Block Carving Board Extra Thick 313

It's a beautiful board, very heavy, very thick. I purchased this as a gift, was disappointed that it arrived with a dent in one of the corners, but didn't have time to replace. Also in handle area board was not sanded well. After sanding in handle area and adding four coats of oil (board arrived very dry) it was even more stunning. My only concern, I purchased a thinner board from this company, kept well oiled and the board split on one side by almost a half inch in less than a year. Hoping that was an exception and that the thickness of this board will address issues.

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my husband. It’s a very beautiful, heavy cutting board. My husband absolutely love using it. My only complaint is that middle part is slightly thicker than the rest of the surface of the cutting board so it sort of swivels when I cut something on it. I placed a rubber mat underneath and that seem to help make it stable.

Well glued, delivered faster than advertised. I love the heft, look, and double sided use - both sides are very nice. 99% of the wood selection is perfect, unblemished - the only reason the craftsmanship got 4 of 5 is two small spots (like 1/4") where a void had been filled with a filler that absorbs the finishing oil a bit differently (1 is circled in red in the picture), and there was a tiny cube of I think aluminum embedded near one edge that left a mark on our countertop the first time I slid it along. It picked right out with a needle (second picture), and the mark scrubbed off without leaving a scratch. I will use this board for many years!

This butcher block cutting board totally exceeded my expectations expectations. Only thing that I did have to do when I received it was condition it with some oil and seal it with bees wax. I also installed some feet on it as you can see in one of the photos to get air flow on all sides of it. The board is just a good as if not better then those high dollar $300+ boards but at half the price. This might be the last cutting board I’ll ever have to buy

Always wanted a good cutting board. Researched them online and Teakhaus was in the top three across the reviews. Was a bit hesitant as per reviewers mentioning cracking/warping. My board was shipped in bubble wrap in a huge (much larger than board) shipping box. No dents, scratches or any damage. I have put 4-5 coats of Howard mineral oil on it and so far so good. I love using it.

It’s by the most beautiful board I own. The 2.5in thickness and price is unmatchable. AMAZING!!!🤩

I just received this yesterday and I have not used it yet, but wow is it beautiful! Its definitely thicker than I thought which is a plus. Im happy I spent the money on a great product

not like the picture with all the hearts on it....Hope it works well and does not crack....One big seller was the design but was disappointed that it did not look like the picture at all...we will see....

This is a VERY nice board. It is heavy and well made. There were no cracks or peeling. I only had one or two spots on the flat side that glue came out to the surface. I washed and dried and oiled it when I got it and it is just beautiful. It is darker than the picture and makes quite a statement in the kitchen!I am redoing my review to 3 stars because 2 weeks after I used my board; and did not abuse it, one of the cubes on the edge split and the board cracked a third of the way through down a seam. I am so disappointed, of course, since there was nothing hot or cold set on it and used for a very short time. I live in a moderate temperature area and it was perfect when I got it so I have no idea what happened.

Like a few previous reviewers notes, the board I received did not have a "pattern" like the one in the picture. The end cut pieces were not put together with any artistic consideration. The board looks and feels wonderful, however, it was damaged in shipment (deep gash on one side). The packaging was completely inadequate. It was in a bigger box with a single piece of brown paper wadded on top. The end of the package was completely smashed. There was no option for a replacement so I have returned it for a refund and will definitely purchase another one once the refund comes through. I am concerned that the packaging issue may not have been fixed, though. Hope my next one is not damaged also. Will update my review when I receive the next one.UPDATE - the second one received in great condition with adequate packaging.

I am sure this is an amazing cutting board and is beautiful to behold and looks solid, I chose this based on reviews but no matter how solid the board......... It is useless when packed very badly. It was shipped in a box bigger than the board with lots of extra space in the box. Obviously the board and box was dropped somewhere during the shipping process. The board came split in half. It is so heavy that it will cost a large amount to ship it back for a replacement. VERY POOR PACKING JOB AMAZON!!!

3-27-2010 first i will update this review if the company comes through with shipping and replacing. I just sent an emaail to the company.about two and half weeks ago(march 14th 2010) I ordered the 20 X 14 X 2.5 in board with juice canal.Just got the board in mail and it is 18 X 7 X 2.5 cheese cutting board. no where near 130 dollar value. and there is no, repeat, no, invoice or reciept in the box, nor a contact number. just the mailing lable on the outside. so, hopefully the email from my amazon account gets to them and this gets fixed.i'd like to add, this board looks nothing like the one in the picture. not sure of its value on amazon. but the board that i recieved looks like something one would get from target for about 35 dollars.the wood grains does not have that butterfly effect like this picture does. nor is the board have a high sheen to it. the board in dull with a lot of black dots in the grain of the teak wook. other than being teak and having a few dark brown rings the board looks like a normal end grain board. the product is still a Proteak product.I hope the company fixes this situation. will post update when hear from the company.3-30-2010--update-- got this feed back from seller, see if it happens and how fast....Good Afternoon,I just got things squared away with Proteak. They will be shipping outthe correct item you ordered tomorrow and will include a call tag tohave the other item picked up and shipped back to them at their cost.I apologize for the mistake in the shipping department. Please letme know when you receive the correct item so I know that everything hasbeen handled quickly and correctly.Michellefinal update 4/20/2010got the right part and free shipping slip to send back wrong item. took me a while to find UPS store and get myself down there, another inconvenience.reason for only 3 stars. 1. no compensation for my troubles. no discount on current order, no discount on a future order. like free shipping to house, don't like having to find UPS, drive there and ship back; doable, not enjoyable. 2, the board is super nice. I do like it. thick, heavy and looks somewhat different than evevryone else's board. 3, board is not completely flat on my counter. wobles ever so slightly from corner to corner. and lastly, it doesn't look near as cool as the one pictured in this for sale item.would give it a 5 star rating if flat, good shipping/custmer relations, and if the board only cost about 90 dollars.good hunting

First board received was cracked. Second replacement one looks fine. Will be back here to update if the replacement develops a crack even with careful oiling and avoidance of soaking in water. In laws have a John Boos that lasted more than half a decade - that's my expectation for this one, too.

It's a beautiful, heavy-duty cutting board, however, it does not arrive the way it is shown on Amazon. The face of it does not have that marbled-look (which was a big selling point) and it's not a full 20" x 14". I know I'm going to enjoy it, I'm just disappointed at the misrepresentation. Amazon needs to update their product image - I'd recommend searching for proteak's website if you want to see a more accurate representation.

Very nice. Used cutting board oil 4x to seal. Sturdy and beautiful

My husband is a big guy who does a lot of cooking, so the type of cutting board that matches him needs to be more like a chopping block. He really liked receiving this board as a gift. It is quite heavy but not so much that I cannot lift (I'm 5'4"), but I don't use it.Pros:-enough surface area to cut for a big person-heavy enough that it won't move while cutting-has a juice canal on one side so you can make that side for "meats" and flip it to the other side for "veggies".-after adding mineral oil, the color stands out and is not as dull as it was when it first arrived.-seems pretty durable and seems as though it will last a generation if take care of well. I saw a John Boos butcher block at a grocery store used for display purposes, and you could tell that it had never been oiled as there were many numerous cracks on the sides. Poor thing.Cons (that I noticed):-the pattern of the board we received is not like what was in the photo. It is not quite as artsy as shown. I went to go check out a proteak at williams-sonoma. The one we received is more like a pattern you would see on a regular cutting board, similar to what williams-sonoma carried. They carry only the circular ones, but the thickness was the same.-it may be heavy for smaller/petite people.-the board was shipped in a box with no stuffing whatsoever. Looking at the box, I can tell that it had been thrown around prior to it's arrival. I'm glad that it was not cracked.All in all--my husband enjoys using it so it's all good, which says a lot because he is very picky about items he owns. I know that all of the patterns are different for each board...but if I were to purchase another proteak in the future, I'd probably want to choose the one I want instead of having a random one shipped to me. Regarding mineral oils--the board soaks it in very nicely, but when you "dry" it after having soaked it in the mineral oil, wiping it down after 30 minutes soak on each side, I suggest you put some newspaper under it, with the board on it's side. Some of the excess oil will run down a bit.

Really nice cutting board. Nice and thick and great quality, looks great to leave on the counter. Customer service for the company is great. I had some order issues and they are super responsive and resolved my issues.

Making cooking easy. First of all it makes me want to cook and clean up. That’s a big plus!! Second, it’s much better on knife versus other types of wood like walnut. Like your wrist can feel how effortless it is to mince garlic or onion. The quality is just insanely good.

I searched every site I could find reading reviews on cutting boards. Bamboo..Walnut...Maple..Teak, which is best,pros and cons. I was only interested in an end grain board and when I saw this board I was so impressed. When I read the story behind the company and their ethics I was sold. Nothing compared for less than $100 more..end grain, teak with juice channel, 2" + thick with end grips and reversible. Everything I was looking for. It arrived today and when I opened the box I was so happy to find that it was even more beautiful than the pictures. It came fairly well seasoned but I immediately heated up my oil/wax and applied 3 good coats to all sides and buffed it up. It looks more like furniture than a chopping block. It is a thick heavy board but with the end grips, I can flip it around with no problem...now my only problem is...I don't want to put it away. You will Nood be disappointed and be sure to purchase a good quality oil/wax product. I bought John Taylor Butcher Block Conditioner Food Grade Mineral Oil and Natural Waxes, 12 fl.oz(355ml). Heat it up to liquid for best results. I actually purchased 2..one for me and one for my Daughter as a Christmas gift...I had to give it to her today..I roll like that lol

I have just finished conditioning the wood and I must confess that this is a beautiful albeit quite large cutting board.Do yourself a favor and measure just how thick 2 1/2" actually is on top of your counter.The board arrived in good condition. There were 2 small dents on one edge. This could have been avoided with a better job of packaging it in the box. This item is heavy so it really should have something more substantial to prevent it from shaking around in the box during shipping. You can barely see the damage, so it wasn't worth an exchange. I figured it is bound to get some scuffs and cuts on it anyway...Do your homework and read up on how to care for a wooden cutting board so that this beauty will last you. I was sold on the positive reviews as well as Proteak being a responsible 'rainforest friendly' manufacturer. That is especially important with "Teak". Even better Proteak has their own sustainable plantation. I highly recommend this cutting board if you have the room for it. I'm replacing a plain plastic model about 1/2" thick with this piece of art. Do yourself a favor and order one up! Proteak's website is also very helpful in the event you want to browse their other products (which can be found on Amazon) and learn about the company itself.Two thumbs up!

After upgrading my knives, I knew the next thing I needed was a good, end grain cutting board. I wanted end grain so that when I chop, the knife edge doesn't get as dull as fast. Additionally I wanted at least 2 inches of width since this is also critical to keeping your knives in tip top shape. Plus a flow channel to keep the juices from running out and all over was also desired. The flow channel also gives me a very clear marker for the meat side and the veggie side of the cutting board. This is a good thing when I need to cook for vegetarians.Not only is the Proteak cutting board all that, its also drop dead gorgeous! The photos here simply do not do it justice. The grain flows together so well, at times it almost looks like hearts at times. I love having this in my kitchen, for the looks and for the function.Beyond the beauty, this board makes my knives bounce! I find that I have less pain in my hand if I'm chopping a lot - which is a very good thing. My knives are singing a happy song now.It is important to keep up with oiling the wood so that it dry out - a little TLC goes a long way.Finally the company is very good for the environment - all their wood is sustainably harvested and they've replanted huge swaths of land, helping reforest parts of Mexico. This is a cutting board you can feel good about.

Awesome cutting board! I added some rubber feet and conditioned it. Just what I needed!

It's just beautiful - love it -
