Here's what you get:
- One rectangle end grain cutting board, 16" x 12" with juice well
Founder Hector Bonilla takes pride in crafting cutting boards from teak wood sourced on the coast of Mexico, avoiding the conflict-ridden and environmentally unsound wood of Southeast Asia.
After your order is processed, your cutting board will be shipped for ground delivery. You will receive an email notifying you of the ship date.
A Winning Teak
Teak is much easier on knives than other woods, and contains resins that actually repel moisture—helping avert the sad “warped cutting board” scenario. “End grains,” wood cut across its growth rings, lend a gorgeous watermark-style pattern to the finished product and help boards self-heal after cuts. We love Proteak in particular for its commitment to quality and because all wood is harvested under ethical, sustainable conditions from the Pacific Coast of Mexico—unlike much southeast Asian teak. This sleek board is great for everyday knife work, and in a pinch can serve as an ad hoc serving platter.

Use and Care
- Before you use your cutting board or butcher block for the first time, season it to prevent staining or absorption of food odors and bacteria.
- Use UPS-grade mineral oil, coconut oil or beeswax on your board. Apply four to five coats, allowing each coat to soak in before applying the next.
- After applying the last coat, wait 4 to 6 hours for the oil to oxidize and harden, then wipe off any excess oil that did not soak in. Clean your board using hot water and soap, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Never submerge cutting boards in a sink of water! Wood is porous and will soak up water, causing the cutting board to crack when it dries.
- Disinfect using vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, or bleach.
- Try to avoid cutting continuously in the same place.
