TeakHaus 18-inch End Grain Butcher Block Round

TeakHaus 18-inch End Grain Butcher Block Round

Two inches thick and 18 inches across, the TeakHaus End Grain Butcher Block Round works as a heavy chopping block in the kitchen and a centerpiece on the table. It stays put under a cleaver, takes a pizza straight from the oven, and holds a full spread of cheese and charcuterie or a tray of sliced barbecue.

The end-grain surface, with its fibers standing upright, closes up behind the knife, so the block keeps a smooth face through heavy use. The round shape lets guests reach it from every side.

Two things are worth knowing in advance. End grain needs regular, generous oiling, and the block’s color and grain will be its own. A round block shows a great deal of grain pattern, and no two look alike.

Edge Grain or End Grain?

Edge-grain boards are built from long strips of teak laid on their sides, so the knife cuts across the length of the fibers. They are lighter and take less oil. End-grain boards are built from short blocks set with the fibers standing upright, so the edge passes between the fibers rather than across them; TeakHaus describes the surface as self-healing for that reason. End-grain boards are heavier and need more frequent, more generous oiling.

Natural Color and Grain

Teak is a natural material, and no two boards are alike. Color ranges from golden to deeper brown, and a board may show darker streaks or changes in tone from one strip of wood to the next. The board you receive will differ from the one photographed. These variations are a characteristic of the wood, not a defect.

Before First Use

TeakHaus boards ship pre-oiled and ready to use. Wash the board with warm, soapy water, rinse it and dry it with a towel before the first use.

Care

Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry with a towel right away.
Do not put the board in the dishwasher or leave it soaking in water.
TeakHaus recommends oiling its boards with food-grade mineral oil 2 to 3 times per month. TeakHaus EON Cutting Board Conditioning Oil is made for this purpose, and the TeakHaus EON Cutting Board Seasoning Stick is a quick touch-up between oilings.
End grain draws in more oil than edge grain, so give an end-grain board a generous coat on every face and edge.
