This review is from: Proteak Teak Cutting Board Rectangle 20-by-14-by-2-1/2-Inch Hand Grip and Juice Canal, End Grain (Kitchen)

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.

Almost too beautiful to actually use, but this board in tough! After two years of use it is still holding up great and looks better than ever. It's a pleasure to use, and it makes an elegant serving platter as well. The channels on the side let meat juices flow away from the work area without risking a stain to your tablecloth. And it has a great story too: cut from a renewable teak farm in the Mexican jungle, not from some ancient forrest in Malayasia that has been illegally clear cut.

We got this board as a gift and are extremely happy with it.

The board itself is gourgeous, initially we were weary to use it, as somebody else who also commented. But after almost two years of use it has only gotten more beautiful.

Maintentance has been sparse, mild soap & water, we have not used oil yet.

No signs of splintering and gentle on our steel and ceramic knives. We find that the wood "heals" from minor scratches with time and use.

We like it so much so that we stopped putting it away after use and its now become a beautiful part of our kitchen decoration! It brings an all-around elegant look to the kitchen counter.

Then we learned about the environmental stance of the company and were hooked on Proteak products.
