A 15-Pound Professional Foundation for Your Most Critical Edge Work For the serious chef, a cutting board is more than a surface—it is a critical component of the knife's edge geometry. The TeakHaus Professional End Grain Cutting Board (SKU 313) is designed to be the final board you ever buy. At a substantial 15 pounds, this board provides an unyielding, rock-solid foundation that will not slide or shift, even during heavy-duty butchery or rapid-fire mirepoix prep. The Science of End Grain Unlike edge-grain boards where the knife cuts across the wood fibers, the end-grain construction of this TeakHaus board allows the wood fibers to part as the blade enters and then close back up as it is removed. This 'self-healing' property serves two vital functions: it prevents deep, unsightly knife scars that harbor bacteria, and it drastically reduces the friction on your blade's apex. Whether you are using a 64 HRC Japanese laser or a robust German workhorse, this board ensures you spend more time cutting and less time at the sharpening stones. Form, Function, and Sustainability Constructed from FSC-certified sustainable teakwood, this board is naturally rich in silica and essential oils, providing inherent water resistance and durability. One side features a deep juice canal, perfect for resting proteins or carving roasts without the mess, while the reverse side offers a flat, expansive surface for pastry work or vegetable prep. Integrated hand grips ensure that despite its 15-pound heft, the board remains maneuverable for cleaning and maintenance. Pre-treated with a proprietary blend of mineral oil and beeswax, it arrives ready for immediate service in your kitchen. Learn More

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

Its vast surface area gives you the freedom to carve a Thanksgiving turkey, lay out an elaborate charcuterie spread for a party, or manage multiple prep tasks without ever feeling cramped. Beyond its striking appearance, the board’s 1.5-inch thick construction provides a weighty, immovable foundation for safe and efficient cutting. Crafted from 100% sustainable, FSC® certified Teak, it is naturally endowed with the resilience to resist moisture, scarring, and warping. Transitioning seamlessly from a high-performance prep station to a dramatic serving platter, this board isn’t just a tool—it’s the centerpiece of your culinary stage. Learn More

Professional-Scale Surface for High-Volume Prep When handling heavy-duty prep work—from breaking down large poultry to dicing bushels of root vegetables—surface area and board stability are the primary bottlenecks. The TeakHaus Herringbone 18 x 24 x 1.5-inch board eliminates these constraints. At nearly three square feet of workspace, this board provides a dedicated station that stays anchored to the countertop during aggressive chopping. The edge-grain construction is specifically chosen for its balance; it is firm enough to provide a stable tactile response yet resilient enough to prevent premature edge rolled on high-carbon steel knives. Crafted from FSC-certified tropical teak, the material naturally carries a high concentration of oily resins. Unlike maple or walnut which require aggressive seasoning to prevent drying, this teak board acts as its own moisture barrier. This is critical in professional environments where the board is subjected to frequent washing and contact with high-moisture proteins. The herringbone pattern is not merely aesthetic; the interlocking grain alignment adds structural integrity to the block, resisting the internal stresses that cause thinner boards to cup or crack. The deep perimeter juice groove is engineered to hold up to 10 ounces of liquid, preventing cross-contamination and runoff when resting large roasts or carving succulent meats. Integrated hand grips are milled into the sides, allowing for a secure hold even when the board is wet, essential for a piece of this substantial weight. Learn More

Heavy-Duty Performance Engineered for Daily Kitchen Punishment The Teakhaus Butcher Block Model 331 is the definitive workstation for chefs who require a stable, high-impact surface for high-volume food preparation. Measuring a generous 20 x 15 inches with a solid 1.5-inch thickness, this 11-pound end-grain block is designed to stay perfectly flat and anchored to your counter through years of rigorous use. Crafted from FSC®-certified tropical Teak, the 331 combines commercial-grade durability with the sophisticated checkerboard aesthetic of a professional butcher block. Quick-Fact Spec Sheet: Dimensions: 20" L x 15" W x 1.5" H (51 x 38 x 3.8 cm) Weight: 11 lbs (Heavy-Duty Stability) Construction: Professional End-Grain (Self-Healing) Material: 100% Sustainable FSC® Teak (2025 Leadership Award Winner) Key Features: Reversible Design, Integrated Hand Grips, & Heavy Impact Absorption Usage: Heavy chopping, daily meal prep, and professional butchery Why the Teakhaus 331 is the "Daily Driver" for Serious Cooks: Impact-Absorbent End-Grain: The end-grain construction means the wood fibers are oriented vertically. This allows the board to absorb the impact of heavy chopping and cleaver work, protecting your wrist joints and preserving the razor-sharp 16-degree edges of high-end cutlery like Shun or Minonokuni. Natural Anti-Microbial Properties: Teak is world-renowned for its high natural oil and silica content. This creates a built-in hydrophobic barrier that naturally resists moisture, bacteria, and warping, ensuring the Model 331 remains a hygienic surface for decades. Fully Reversible Workstation: Both sides of the 331 are precision-sanded to a smooth finish, providing two expansive 300-square-inch prep surfaces. This allows you to dedicate one side for proteins and the other for produce, effectively doubling the life of the board. Award-Winning Sustainability: As the FSC® Leadership Award Winner 2025, Teakhaus utilizes zero-waste production methods. Every Model 331 is sustainably sourced, ensuring your professional tools support environmental restoration and responsible forestry. Ergonomic Stability: Despite its 11-pound weight, the Model 331 is easy to maneuver thanks to the integrated side hand grips. The density of the wood ensures the board will not slide, even when handling large, slippery ingredients. Learn More

The Foundation of a Professional Station: High-Mass End-Grain Teak When you first place the Teakhaus Model 332 on your countertop, the immediate impression is one of absolute stability. At a verified weight of approximately 14 to 16 pounds, this 24" x 18" butcher block does not shift, even when you are applying significant lateral force while breaking down a 20-pound brisket or rapid-fire dicing dense root vegetables. The 1.5-inch thickness provides a high-impact buffer that absorbs the vibration of heavy cleaver work, protecting your wrists and the structural integrity of your knives. Unlike standard edge-grain boards where you slice across the wood fibers, the end-grain architecture of the 332 orients the fibers vertically. As your blade strikes the surface, it slips between the fibers rather than severing them. We have tested this with high-carbon Japanese steel (HRC 62+); the result is a 'self-healing' effect where the wood fibers spring back together, significantly extending the time between sharpening sessions. Teak's intrinsic properties are what make this board a lifetime investment. The high natural oil content acts as a biological moisture barrier. In a humid kitchen environment, this prevents the common expansion and contraction that leads to warping in maple or walnut alternatives. The tactile feedback is 'grippy' yet smooth, providing enough resistance to prevent protein slippage without dragging on the blade. The integrated hand grips are deeply recessed, allowing for a secure hold even with damp hands when flipping the board to utilize the deep juice groove for carving. Learn More

The Professional’s Heavyweight: TeakHaus 24" x 18" End Grain Master Board Elevate your culinary workspace with the TeakHaus 333, a board designed for those who view food preparation as a craft. Measuring a massive 24" x 18", this isn't just a cutting surface; it is a dedicated prep station. Crafted from FSC-certified, sustainably harvested teak, this board leverages the unique botanical properties of the wood—specifically its high natural oil content—to provide a surface that is naturally resistant to moisture, bacteria, and the warping common in lesser hardwoods. The end grain construction is the 'gold standard' for high-end cutlery. By orienting the wood fibers vertically, the board allows your knife blade to slide between the fibers rather than cutting through them. This 'self-healing' property not only keeps your professional knives sharper for significantly longer but also ensures the board remains free of deep, unsightly scars over years of use. Versatility is built into the architecture of the 333. One side features a precision-carved, deep juice groove capable of holding the drippings from the largest holiday roasts or a mountain of vine-ripened tomatoes. Flip the board over, and you have a vast, flat expanse perfect for rolling dough, mincing herbs, or even using as a rustic charcuterie presentation piece for large gatherings. Integrated hand grips make moving this substantial 1.5-inch thick board safe and easy, ensuring it can transition from the prep counter to the dining table with ease. Learn More

Engineered for Resistance: The 16x11 Edge Grain Teak Slicing Station When handling high-crust artisan sourdough or dense baguettes, the interaction between your serrated edge and the cutting surface determines the longevity of your cutlery. The TeakHaus 16x11 Bread Board is manufactured from Tectona grandis, a tropical hardwood naturally saturated with high silica and oil content. This creates a self-protecting moisture barrier that prevents the wood from warping or becoming brittle after repeated washings—a common failure point in maple or bamboo alternatives. Our hands-on testing confirms that the edge grain construction provides a rigid, stable strike zone. At 0.55 inches thick, this board offers a lightweight, low-profile footprint that excels as both a dedicated prep station and a refined serving platter. Unlike end-grain boards which can be prone to cracking if not oiled weekly, this edge-grain configuration is optimized for the lateral shearing forces applied during bread slicing. You will notice a distinct, muffled 'thud' rather than a sharp 'clack' when your knife finishes a stroke, indicating the wood is absorbing the impact rather than resisting it. The 2lb weight ensures the board remains anchored to your workstation under moderate pressure, while the 16-inch length comfortably accommodates full-sized boules and long baguettes without overhang. By utilizing FSC-certified timber, this board balances professional-grade utility with ecological responsibility, ensuring your kitchen gear meets the highest standards of both performance and sustainability. This is a technical tool for the high-volume kitchen, providing a hygienic, resilient surface that actively contributes to knife health. Learn More
