African Teak End Grain Cutting Board, 2" Thick — All Purpose

A 2" African teak end grain board for daily cooking: thick enough to stay put on the counter, light enough to lift to the sink. End grain is easy on knife edges. 12x19 to 18x24, one- or two-sided, juice groove optional.

Why African teak

African teak is yellow to golden-brown that ages into a rich copper-brown. Also called iroko, it is not botanically true teak, but it shares teak's oily feel and resistance to moisture. At 1,260 lbf on the Janka hardness scale, it is one of the tougher cutting surfaces we build and wears well for years.

How it's built

Edge grain boards are built from long strips of African teak glued side by side, so you cut along the length of the grain. The result is a flat, tough surface that needs less upkeep than end grain and shows off the long grain of the wood. Every board is sanded smooth and finished with food-grade mineral oil and our Board Butter.

Care

Hand wash with soap and warm water, dry both sides, and let it stand on its side or feet to air dry. Never soak it or run it through the dishwasher. Keep it hydrated with our Board Butter so moisture stays out and knives don't dig into dry grain.
