Teak Cutting Boards

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

As Recommended by America’s Test Kitchen The Teakhaus Butcher Block Model 311 is a professional-grade kitchen essential, famously recommended by America’s Test Kitchen. Measuring 16 x 12 inches with a substantial 1.5-inch thickness, this board is designed for serious cooks who demand a high-performance surface that fits comfortably in standard home sinks. Crafted from FSC®-certified tropical Teak, the 311 combines a stunning checkerboard end-grain aesthetic with the "self-healing" durability required for daily culinary prep. Quick-Fact Spec Sheet: Dimensions: 16" L x 12" W x 1.5" H (40.6 x 30.5 x 3.8 cm) Weight: 10 lbs (Stable & Manageable) Construction: Professional End-Grain (Self-Healing) Material: 100% Sustainable FSC® Teak (2025 Leadership Award Winner) Key Features: Reversible Design, Perimeter Juice Canal, & Integrated Hand Grips Accolade: America’s Test Kitchen Recommended Why the Teakhaus 311 is a Top-Tier Professional Tool: Self-Healing End-Grain Surface: The vertical orientation of the wood fibers allows your knife edge to slide between them rather than cutting across them. This checkerboard construction ensures that knife marks close naturally, extending the life of your board and preserving the razor-sharp 16-degree edges of Japanese cutlery like Shun or Minonokuni. Reversible Dual-Functionality: One side features a precision-milled juice canal for carving roasts and managing runoff, while the reverse side offers a completely smooth surface for high-volume vegetable prep, making it a versatile 2-in-1 workstation. Naturally Moisture-Resistant: Teak is unique among hardwoods for its exceptionally high natural oil and silica content. This creates a built-in hydrophobic barrier that resists water absorption and bacteria, significantly outperforming maple or bamboo. Award-Winning Sustainability: As the FSC® Leadership Award Winner 2025, Teakhaus utilizes zero-waste production methods. Every Model 311 is sustainably sourced from well-managed forests, supporting global environmental restoration. Ergonomic Hand Grips: Recessed side handles allow for easy maneuvering and transport, whether you are moving the 10lb block from the counter to the table or flipping it to access the secondary prep surface.

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.

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.

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.

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

Named the "Best Carving Board" by Food & Wine Magazine The Teakhaus Traditional Model 109 is the definitive heavy-duty carving station for professional chefs and home entertainers. At a massive 24 x 18 inches, it provides the largest specialized Teak surface available for breaking down 25lb holiday turkeys, full briskets, and multiple roasts. Crafted from FSC®-certified tropical Teak (Tectona grandis), this board is engineered for lifetime durability, natural moisture resistance, and superior blade protection. Quick-Fact Spec Sheet: Dimensions: 20" L x 15" W x 1.5" H  Surface Area: 300 Square Inches Weight: 12 lbs (Ultra-Stable) Material: 100% Sustainable FSC® Teak (High-Silica Content) Key Feature: High-Capacity 360° Perimeter Juice Canal Award: Food & Wine "Best Overall Carving Board" Why the Teakhaus 109 Outperforms Maple & Walnut: Natural Silica & Oil Barrier: Unlike Maple or Walnut, Teak contains high levels of natural silica and rubber. This provides a "self-lubricating" quality that is exceptionally gentle on 16-degree Japanese knife edges (such as Shun or Minonokuni) while providing a natural hydrophobic barrier against bacteria and moisture. Managed Runoff: The precision-milled juice canal is specifically deepened to handle the high volume of liquids from rested proteins, ensuring your countertops remain dry while you collect savory drippings for au jus and gravies. Edge-Grain Engineering: The edge-grain construction acts as a shock absorber. As you carve, the wood fibers separate and then "heal," preventing the deep scoring and scarring that can harbor cross-contamination in thinner, lower-quality boards. Commercial-Grade Stability: Weighing nearly 12 lbs, the Model 109 will not slide or shift under the pressure of a carving fork. The 1.5-inch thickness provides the structural integrity needed to resist the warping and "cupping" often seen in large-format boards. Learn More
