Wow, all I can say is this is perfect. so heavy and nice. Oiled up great and it is like a work of art. You will not be disappointed.

There wasn't a 20 x 14 x 1.5 at amazon so I'm putting my review here. I went to the Proteak site to see if there was a board I would rather have since 2" and above thickness was to thick for me. I found it with this board. I like the thinner board, yet it is still thick.
This is a gorgeous product. I imagine any board from Proteak is just as beautiful. If you love would like I do, you will appreciate the variations in color...both light and dark. This is the only product that I found that has this natural coloring. It's truly beautiful and from all the reviews I read about Proteak, I would imagine it's a long lasting and quality cutting surface. You have to follow the directions for seasoning the board and treatment. If it's not seasoned correctly or treated the way the manufacture recommends, it can crack and deteriorate and lose it's beauty and function. Seasoning, from what I've read needs to be done as soon as you get it with mineral oil. 4-5 initial coats is recommended. This also brings out more beautiful luster. i just got the board so I will post another review after I've had a chance to use it and see how it holds up but I feel very good about it. The 20 x 14 size I believe is just right for my kitchen island. not too big but big enough to accomodate the cutting of more than one thing. The larger size would probably be the best if you use your board for alot of cutting, but the size does not fit into standard sink for rinsing and cleaning and this size does so that is why I got it. Plus it will stay on my island all the time and allows room for other things. Do your homework with choosing a board. They are not all created equal. Teak is very durable and attractive. I checked out all of the board sites I could including the John Boos and this got better reviews than Boos did all the way around. I don't want to have to buy another board for a long time so I hope this is as durable as everyone says. I will post an update after a few months to let you know how it is holding up.
