Cutting Boards
The surface beneath a knife has a direct effect on how long its edge lasts. Glass, stone, and ceramic dull a blade quickly; wood absorbs the impact of each cut and helps a fine edge stay sharp. This collection focuses on two woods chosen for their compatibility with quality cutlery: teak and hinoki.
Teak is a dense tropical hardwood with a high natural oil content, which gives it strong resistance to moisture. Our TeakHaus boards are available in edge-grain and end-grain construction, from compact serving boards to full butcher blocks. Hinoki, a Japanese cypress, is a softer wood that gives slightly under the blade, which makes it a preferred surface for thin, hard Japanese knives. Both woods benefit from regular oiling, and board oil is available in this collection.

TeakHaus Edge Grain Teak Cutting and Serving Board - 12" x 8"
The Professional’s Choice for Knife-Friendly Prep and Service Harnessing the high-silica density of sustainably sourced teak to protect your finest edges while providing a lightweight, moisture-resistant surface for rapid kitchen workflows. In the hands of a professional chef, the TeakHaus 12" x 8" Edge Grain board reveals its true value through tactile feedback. Unlike standard maple or plastic surfaces that can feel 'dead' or overly resistant, the high natural oil content of this teakwood provides a subtle, cushioned 'grip' for the knife blade. This 0.55-inch slim profile isn't just about aesthetics; it’s a functional advantage for small-scale mise en place and quick-turnaround tasks where a heavy butcher block would be cumbersome. When slicing through high-moisture ingredients like citrus or tomatoes, the inherent silica levels within the teak fibers act as a natural hydrophobic barrier. We observed zero capillary action or 'wicking' of juices during heavy use, ensuring the board remains sanitary and resistant to the warping common in cheaper tropical hardwoods. The 1.5 lb weight makes the transition from the prep station to the guest's table effortless, serving as a stable canvas for artisanal cheeses or charcuterie without the wrist fatigue of traditional thick-cut boards. Every surface of this board has been hand-inspected. The edge grain construction aligns the wood fibers vertically, which specifically helps to 'catch' the impact of a rocking chef's knife or the precision tip of a paring knife, preventing the edge-rolling that occurs on harder, less forgiving surfaces. This is an essential tool for those using high-carbon German or Japanese cutlery where edge geometry is paramount. Learn More$22.50 -
TeakHaus Edge Grain Teak Cutting Board - 14" x 9.5" x 0.55"
In the environment of a high-volume professional line, your cutting surface is a variable that directly dictates tool longevity. The TeakHaus 14" x 9.5" Edge Grain Cutting Board (SKU 203) is a precision-engineered interface designed specifically for those utilizing high-carbon Japanese or German alloys. While standard maple or bamboo can feel like glass under a 12-degree edge—causing micro-chipping and rapid dulling—the internal structure of teak offers a controlled, tactile compression. Weighing exactly 2.0 lbs, this board is optimized for rapid station resets and portability. During our hands-on evaluation with a 210mm Gyuto, the board exhibited a specific 'bite' that stabilizes the tip during precision draw cuts without trapping the blade. The 0.55-inch profile is not a compromise on durability; it is a calculated ergonomic choice. By lowering the work surface closer to the counter, it reduces the angle of the wrist during repetitive mincing of aromatics and shallots, mitigating fatigue during extended prep shifts. The edge grain construction ensures structural stability against the high-acid environment of citrus prep and the moisture-heavy demands of proteins. Teak’s inherent high oil content creates a natural hydrophobic barrier, preventing the deep capillary absorption that leads to warping. This board transitions seamlessly from a high-speed mirepoix station to an elegant charcuterie service, showcasing the natural chatoyancy of the teak grain that only deepens with proper mineral oil seasoning.

TeakHaus 16 x 11-inch Elegant Oval Board
The TeakHaus Elegant Oval Board is a teak board for cooks who want one surface that works at the counter and on the table. At 16 by 11 inches, it suits a cheese board for a small gathering, bread service for the table, or a round of light prep work, and its slim profile keeps it easy to lift, carry, and store.
Features Naturally oil-rich teak: Teak’s high natural oil content acts as a moisture-resistant barrier, so the board resists water and staining better than many woods and stays easier to keep clean. Medium hardness: Teak is firm enough to stand up to daily use yet yields enough under the blade to help knives keep their edges longer than they would on harder surfaces such as glass or stone. Rounded oval profile: Smooth, rounded edges give the board a finished look for serving and a comfortable feel in the hand. Hanging hole: A hole at one end lets you hang the board on a hook, keeping it off the counter and out of crowded cabinets. Low maintenance: A few drops of mineral oil once a month keeps the wood conditioned.
How to Use It Cheese boards and charcuterie for two to four people Bread service with butter, oils, or spreads Appetizers and small plates Slicing fruit, herbs, and vegetables for light prep
Choosing a Size The 16 x 11-inch board is the more manageable choice for everyday use and smaller gatherings. For a fuller spread or a larger table, the TeakHaus 18 x 12-inch Elegant Oval Board offers more serving surface in the same design. Learn More$29.00
