Shumaru California, Large Edge-Grain Butcher Block Cutting Board - 18" x 14" Made of Premium Teak Wood with Sorting Compartments, Treated with Natural Palm and Rapeseed Oil

Works great, nice and thick. Brightens up my kitchen

A very simple, beautiful and effective kitchen tool that you'll love buying.

I am in love with this cutting board. It's huge. It's beefy. It's so solid you could probably sail on it and ram through the iceberg that sank the titanic!I recently did some kitchen remodeling and built an island. I desperately wanted a butcherblock countertop for the island but my wife was not excited about the idea of cutting meat on the countertop directly out of fear of it staining it and being a lot of maintenance. So, we went with the quartz instead to match the rest of the new counters and I opted to get the biggest dang cutting board I could find and this is the one I went with!I have been to Crate and Barrel, Williams Sonoma, Bed Bath and Beyond, and local stores. Cutting boards like this were $200+ which imo is worth the price to get a nice cutting board but I decided to look on Amazon first to make sure I wasn't spending more than I needed to. I decided to buy this and I don't regret it. The quality is easily on par with the $200 butcher blocks I was looking at and it's bigger!I got this 24"x18" thick thick thick cutting board and I am so happy with it. I bought some food grade mineral to maintain it with and it has been so good to me so far! The build quality is so solid - true craftsmanship applied to this. The board has deep gutters preventing liquid from overflowing and running onto the counter. This thing is the next best thing to having actual butcher block counters.This thing is truly a behemoth! Measure your storage area where you plan to keep it because it's so big it might not fit! I ended up getting lucky and it fits perfectly in my tall and narrow base cabinet spot. I store it vertically and it just barely fits.Now I want to get a smaller one for less involved/less prep space needed meals and will be buying it from this same exact brand. Truly in love!If you look at my pics you should note two things: 1) that chef's knife has an 8 inch blade and about a 5 inch handle to put the size of the board into perspective and more importantly: 2) the steak is not overcooked. It was smoked to a perfect 130 degrees rare to slightly medium rare on the inside with a high heat sear on the grill to crisp up the outside nicely. So please don't think I'm a heathen cooking my tritip to well-done!

Amazing end grain cutting board. Highly recommend.

This really is a nice butcher block, unfortunately there was a crack in the wood (not at a glue joint). I ordered a replacement and will update when that arrives. Annoyingly I didn’t notice it before I applied conditioner to it. Oh wellUpdated 02-16-2024The replacement had some minor quality control issues. The routered grooves were a little rough and fibrous with some tool blemishes in the rounded compartments. The seller quickly contacted me to see how this could be resolved and I was very pleased with the outcome. I'm increasing 1 star for the excellent customer service. With all the other boards out there, I'm still pleased with the purchase and really like the idea of the 3 compartments where I could push the scraps to.

This cutting board is made beautifully and gorgeous to look at. We used a bamboo cutting board for years and are so happy to have retired it!! Also, should anything not be 100% right with this item the customer service is superb. I'd recommend this board and the company every time. You will not be dissappointed.

great quality!

This is exactly what I was looking for, however it was a little larger than I was expecting. It was a challenge finding a place to store it. I have to just keep it on the stove. It covers the entire top of my glasstop stove if that tells you anything.
