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 cutting board made of end grain is heavy and sturdy enough for most purpose.
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 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 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

After buying two other sizes (18" round & 20"x14"), I have to say this is perfect size for me. I really like the quality and beauty of this product. It might be bit heavy for some people who are sensitive to weighted items.

Not only is it beautiful, it is super functional, feels right when you cut,chop,etc. Cleans nicely - love it!

This is a beautiful board. I have nothing negative to say about it. It's sturdy, solid and very attractive in my kitchen. It is the perfect size and weight, and you can never go wrong w/ Teak. You won't be let down by this item.
