Teak Cutting Boards

The Essential Station for Precision Carving and Clean Food Prep The Professional Carving Board Model 105 (Medium) is engineered for the heavy-duty demands of a professional kitchen while maintaining the refined aesthetics required for tableside service. Designed with a focus on hygiene and blade longevity, this edge-grain board provides a stable, expansive surface for resting and slicing everything from Sunday roasts to Thanksgiving turkeys. Key Performance Features: Deep-Profile Juice Canal: The precision-milled "drip groove" or juice canal is designed to capture up to several ounces of runoff. This prevents meat juices, oils, and brine from overflowing onto your countertop, keeping your prep station clean and allowing for the easy collection of au jus for gravies. Knife-Friendly Edge-Grain Surface: Crafted from premium hardwoods, the 105 series utilizes an edge-grain construction. This vertical grain orientation is naturally resilient, allowing your knife’s edge to bite slightly into the wood without dulling, preserving the sharpness of high-end Japanese and German cutlery. Medium (M) Professional Sizing: The 105 model offers the "Goldilocks" dimensions for most kitchens—large enough to handle a full brisket or a large poultry bird, yet compact enough to fit into standard prep sinks for easy cleaning. Heavy-Duty Stability: The thickness and density of the Model 105 ensure the board stays planted on the counter during high-pressure carving. It resists warping and sliding, providing a safe, reliable base for precision knife work. Reversible Functionality: While one side features the juice canal for carving, the reverse side is completely flat, doubling as a high-volume prep station for vegetables, herbs, and dough work.

Professional-Grade Teak: The Durable, Lightweight Solution for High-Volume Prep and Presentation The TeakHaus 16" x 11" x 0.55" Edge Grain Cutting & Serving Board (SKU 204) is engineered for the rigorous demands of professional kitchens and high-end home culinary environments. Unlike softer woods that scar easily or harder synthetics that dull your edges, teak contains a high natural silica and oil content. This creates a surface that is uniquely resilient against moisture while maintaining the structural integrity of your knife's primary bevel. The Performance of Edge Grain Construction Edge grain construction is selected for this model to maximize the balance between weight and durability. The horizontal alignment of the wood fibers provides a stable, non-slip surface that handles rapid knife work without the excessive weight of traditional butcher blocks. At just 0.55 inches thick, this board allows for seamless 'board-to-pot' transfers, essential for efficient mise en place. Superior Moisture Management and Hygiene Teak is world-renowned for its performance in marine environments, and those same properties apply to the kitchen. The natural oils act as a biological barrier against bacteria and cross-contamination. This board arrives pre-treated with a proprietary blend of food-grade mineral oil and natural beeswax, ensuring it is ready for immediate use. The rounded edges and lightweight 1.5 lb build facilitate easy cleaning in high-traffic settings, while the 16" x 11" surface area provides ample space for carving proteins or arranging complex charcuterie displays.

The Professional Foundation for Precision Prep When you place this 12-pound block on your workstation, the first thing you notice is the absolute stability. At 2 inches thick, this isn't a board that slides or vibrates under a heavy blade; it provides a dampened, tactile response that professionals demand. Unlike edge-grain boards where the knife cuts across the wood fibers, this end-grain construction allows the blade to slip between the vertical wood fibers. This 'self-healing' action means the fibers part for the edge and spring back together after the stroke, significantly reducing visible scoring and—more importantly—extending the life of your HRC 60+ Japanese or German steel. Teak is uniquely suited for this task due to its high natural oil content and silica. While other woods require constant saturation to prevent brittleness, teak remains resilient. The 18-inch diameter offers a vast surface area for everything from breaking down large proteins to managing a complex mise en place. Each board features the distinct, variegated grain patterns of sustainably harvested Proteak, meaning no two blocks look identical. Whether you are using it for heavy chopping or as a substantial presentation surface for charcuterie, the density of the 18" x 2" round block provides a reliable, warp-resistant foundation that handles moisture and impact better than almost any other hardwood.

The TeakHaus Herringbone is not merely a surface; it is a technical tool designed for chefs who prioritize knife edge longevity. In hands-on testing, the 1.5-inch thickness provides a necessary heft that prevents the board from walking across stainless steel or granite countertops during intensive vegetable dicing or heavy butchery. Unlike standard edge-grain boards, this herringbone end-grain configuration allows the wood fibers to part as the blade enters, then close back up once the pressure is released. This 'self-healing' mechanism significantly reduces visible scoring and prevents the micro-chipping often associated with harder, less forgiving woods like bamboo. The tactile feedback during use is distinct. You will notice a deep, muffled thud rather than a high-pitched click when the blade makes contact. This is due to the natural oils and high silica content inherent to Tectona grandis (Teak), which acts as a built-in lubricant for your steel. For owners of Japanese knives with high Rockwell hardness (60+ HRC), this board is a requisite for maintaining a razor edge. Beyond its technical utility, the herringbone pattern is a functional mosaic of end-grain blocks, oriented to handle humidity fluctuations without the warping common in thinner, longitudinal-grain boards. Whether utilized as a heavy-duty prep station or a thermal-stable serving platter for proteins, the 321 model delivers consistent, professional-grade performance. Learn More

Professional Prep Stability with Sustainable Teak Engineering When professional test kitchens label a tool as "The Last Cutting Board You’ll Ever Need," the metrics are clear: durability, maintenance requirements, and impact on knife geometry. The TeakHaus 16" x 12" Edge Grain Board (SKU 514) is built specifically for the high-moisture environments of professional prep stations. Unlike maple or walnut, teak contains high levels of natural oils and silica, providing an inherent barrier against water absorption and bacteria growth without the need for constant oiling. This 0.75-inch thick edge grain construction provides a rigid, stable surface that resists warping while remaining gentle on high-carbon steel edges. The 16x12 footprint is the industry standard for home kitchen versatility—large enough to handle a full mirepoix for a stockpot, yet compact enough for easy cleaning in standard three-compartment or residential sinks. The integrated juice groove is deep enough to contain runoff from proteins or citrus-heavy produce, preventing cross-contamination across your workstation. Whether you are breaking down poultry or performing high-speed vegetable dicing, the weight and density of this teak board ensure it stays anchored to your countertop. Learn More

Precision Prep on a Professional Scale The TeakHaus 18" x 14" Marine Chopping Board solves the primary conflict in professional and home kitchens: the need for massive prep space versus the reality of limited storage. While most boards of this scale are 1.5 to 2 inches thick—often weighing over 10 pounds—the Marine Board’s 0.75-inch profile offers a lightweight, high-mobility alternative. This makes it the preferred platform for moving from a kitchen island directly to an outdoor grill or carving station. The Superiority of Edge-Grain Teak Handling this board reveals the immediate benefits of Tectona grandis (teak). The edge-grain construction aligns the wood fibers to resist deep scoring while remaining significantly more forgiving on your knife edges than plastic, glass, or hard maple. In our testing with high-carbon Japanese steel, we found that the natural oily resins inherent to teak act as a lubricant for the blade’s edge, reducing the friction that leads to micro-chipping and premature dulling. This resin also creates a natural moisture barrier, ensuring the board resists the warping and bacterial absorption common in low-density wood products. Practical Utility: The Juice Groove and Corner Hole The integrated juice groove is deep enough to manage the runoff from a rested 15lb brisket or a large roast, preventing countertop contamination. The addition of the corner hole allows for easy grasping and vertical hanging, facilitating air-drying—a critical step in preventing mold and maintaining the integrity of the wood fibers over years of heavy use.

Precision Bread Service with Sustainable Teak Handling the TeakHaus Paddle Board reveals a specific balance between lightweight portability and the dense, oily resilience of FSC-certified teak. At 0.5 inches thick, this board is engineered for quick maneuvers in a busy kitchen or dining room. Unlike softer woods that scar deeply and absorb moisture, the high silica and natural oil content of the Tectona grandis (Teak) used here provides a naturally hydrophobic surface that protects the edge of your bread knives while resisting bacterial penetration. The board features a dual-purpose design. One side is milled with deep, precision-cut bread canals. In our testing, these grooves effectively capture crumbs from crusty boules and baguettes, preventing debris from migrating to your workstation or dining table. The reverse side remains flat, allowing for a seamless transition into a charcuterie or appetizers serving surface. The 19-inch length includes a contoured paddle handle with a pre-drilled hanging hole. This allows for ergonomic one-handed service, essential for waitstaff or home hosts managing multiple plates. The edge-grain construction ensures the board remains stable and resists warping under standard humidity changes, provided basic oiling protocols are followed. This is a functional tool for those who prioritize the tactile efficiency of genuine hardwood over synthetic alternatives. Learn More
