Nice board
By Scott
After having this cutting board for a few months I can honestly say I enjoy using it. That said, it does have some problems.My background, I'm a professional chef who uses this board at home.First the bad:-slightly warped. It's not bad enough to notice while cutting, and has not gotten worse since it arrived.-odor. It has an odor to it. Some of that is from the garlic and onions I cut, but I've used wooden boards that don't smell as much as this one.-heavy, large. Makes cleaning more difficult. I'm not knocking the score because of this, I expected it to be harder to handle.The good:-solid knife strikes. This board absorbs my knife strikes solidly.-blade friendly. The main reason I wanted an end grain board was to prevent premature dulling of the blade. It has not disappointed.-heavy. It doesn't move around the counter while cutting our kneading pasta dough.I keep it oiled with the recommended oil and hand wash it with a small amount of soap and gentle scrub pad. I use the sprayer to rinse it and dry it right away.My biggest complaint is the warping. It arrived that way and I was tempted to return it. I decided to keep it since I couldn't be sure a replacement wouldn't be worse. It doesn't move while cutting so it isn't too big of an issue. However, for the money, I expect it to be better quality.

Will stay on the counter!
By Lemons
This cutting board was beautiful right out of the box - I oiled it up before use with mineral oil as I would with a normal wood cutting board, but it hardly needed it (but of course still do this occasionally for maintenance). I bought this for my parents, and was debating between this large, beautiful board or a smaller, more portable one (this is HEAVY). I went for this one and am so glad - it is very nice to have the extra chopping space. I was also skeptical, since in my family if we don't use something often, it gets put in cupboard somewhere and generally forgotten about. Nope - this one stays on the counter (which is saying something, because it does take up a fair bit of space). My mom is a food-sanitation fanatic and so I gave her a spray bottle with vinegar in it - she sprays the board and wipes it down with a paper towel after each use (this keeps her from dunking it in the sink with the other dirty dishes, which would cause it to crack). So far (6 months later) the vinegar has not changed the appearance of the board at all. You can hardly see the knife indentations, for that matter ... it still looks new.

By alspachsl
There wasn't a 20 x 14 x 1.5 at amazon so I'm putting my review here. I went to the Proteak site to see if there was a board I would rather have since 2" and above thickness was too thick for me. I found it with this board. I like the thinner board, yet it is still thick.This is a gorgeous product. I imagine any board from Proteak is just as beautiful. If you love wood like I do, you will appreciate the variations in color...both light and dark. This is the only product that I found that has this natural coloring. It's truly beautiful and from all the reviews I read about Proteak, I would imagine it's a long lasting and quality cutting surface. You have to follow the directions for seasoning the board and treatment. If it's not seasoned correctly or treated the way the manufacture recommends, it can crack and deteriorate and lose it's beauty and function. Seasoning, from what I've read needs to be done as soon as you get it with mineral oil. 4-5 initial coats is recommended. This also brings out more beautiful luster. i just got the board so I will post another review after I've had a chance to use it and see how it holds up but I feel very good about it. The 20 x 14 size I believe is just right for my kitchen island. not too big but big enough to accomodate the cutting of more than one thing. The larger size would probably be the best if you use your board for alot of cutting, but the size does not fit into standard sink for rinsing and cleaning and this size does so that is why I got it. Plus it will stay on my island all the time and allows room for other things. Do your homework with choosing a board. They are not all created equal. Teak is very durable and attractive. I checked out all of the board sites I could including the John Boos and this got better reviews than Boos did all the way around. I don't want to have to buy another board for a long time so I hope this is as durable as everyone says. I will post an update after a few months to let you know how it is holding up.Update: It's been a few months and the board is beautiful and stays on my island all the time. I oil it about once a week. You can tell when it's looking a little dry. Since it is a cutting board, you will have the wear of cutting marks, but you can't really tell that much with this board. Maybe after a few years, but so far I love everything about it.
