The Professional / Executive Chef Cutting Board is a large and durable solid Teak Edge Grain Board. It can also be created with a Sapele frame that complements the bright colors in the Teak Grain. 

This makes an excellent present for the aspiring chef or massive BBQ meat-cutting aficionado in your life.  Rubber/silicon feet are included with the board to offer stability, air flow for drying, and separation from the tabletop. To make lifting and transporting the board easier, convenient handles are cut into the bottom of each side.  

Our professional series of teak cutting boards are provided in three basic sizes. The first two are Large and Extra-large and can be provided in either solid Teak only or with a Sapele Border that offers a pleasing and definitive aesthetic effect. The third size is a well known executive chef sized board made popular by American Test Kitchen among others. It is available in Teak only as a standard offering.

You may wonder why Teak and Edge Grain are used. After many hours of research (essentially YouTube, magazines and Google), I discovered that many of the organizations who evaluate boards frequently rank Teak edge grain boards as equal to, or a favorite over, end grain boards. End grain has long been known to improve knife blade durability, however, teak wood is alos not harsh on your cutting knives. One such organization is American Test Kitchen, which chose Teak Edge Boards as their favorite for several years.

Teak Edge Grain has various unnoticed benefits.

o For starters, Teak has a natural supply of oils and antibacterial defenses. It does not require the same volume and frequency of mineral oil applications as end grain boards. As a result, maintenance expenses and requirements are reduced. 

o Edge grain boards offer fewer possible glue failure spots than end grain boards. Teak edge grain boards are among the most resilient and long-lasting.    

o Edge grain is less prone to dampness, which can cause discoloration.     

 
o Teak edge boards are less expensive and more efficient to create because they require fewer processes to make.    

Finally, I enjoy the colors and texture of Teak, as well as its colorful appearance, while the boards still give the substantial weight and durability required in a professional heavy use scenario.
