Oh no...was the board wet when you placed it on the countertop?

Does anybody know if these are available at the local warehouses? If so, are they cheaper?

I can never come to terms to paying $55 for a piece wood made into a cutting board. It amazes me when folks forget how much things actually cost to make (in materials, and labor-considering it is factory-made and in a country where labor is cheap).

It is not a solid block of teak, but rather, it is thin strips of teak glued together, milled and sanded and stained, in bulk. Do your basic math to know how much should be a fair price.

Some of you may find this as a deal, and good for you. But even at $55 sale price, it is way over-priced.
A solid face grain wooden cutting board is not superior to a properly constructed edge grain one. A plain-sawn plank will crack and/or warp over time due to frequent water exposure. This can be somewhat mitigated by using quarter-sawn or possibly rift-sawn wood instead, but a medium or large board will be very expensive simply due to the cost of the lumber.

An edge grain board constructed from smaller pieces of similar quality quarter-sawn wood will be way cheaper while also being much more dimensionally stable.

All that said, I'm also skeptical of the value proposition for products like this. Ever since edge grain and end grain became widely known as marketing buzzwords for cutting boards, there's been a flood of total crap that mimics the look of premium edge and end grain boards, but is constructed so carelessly that it'll hold up worse than a random $10 bamboo Walmart special. They mix and match different woods without any thought to how they react differently to stress, and sometimes the strips of wood they use are just face grain cut into strips and glued edge-to-edge. That's certainly no better than a solid face grain board.

This one does have the Costco seal of approval, at the very least. Not that Costco never carries the occasional dud product - but they are very careful about maintaining a reputation for being selective about what they stock. And they do have very permissive return policies.

Personally, I stick to plastic (HDPE/TPE) boards or mats for general use, and a hinoki board for my nicer high carbon knives. Both of these options require somewhat frequent replacement, but I prefer having low-maintenance knives over low-maintenance cutting boards.

Thanks for sharing. Does the build of the fluids from the vegetables and fruits not stain the teak? Or reduce its lifespan or something? I have a bamboo one and if I don't wash it promptly, by the end of the day, the stains are hard to clear. Plus is it sanitary to wipe it instead of washing it? It is a genuine question, please don't mind. I've never used a teak wood cutting board so I am curious about these basics. Thanks.
you should also coat it with a food safe sealant. I made a pomade of bees wax and mineral oil that I rub on it every now and then. Has yet to stain any of my cutting boards, wooden spoons, well that's a whole different story.

Even dried tomato sauce that I bench scrape off hasn't left a stain.

Seems very worthwhile

Did just buy set of two from Target that are acacia and have been holding up well. Less heavy, have grooves, and pretty solid

Of course don't stick in dishwasher and use mineral oil to seal at very least

Just another option

A solid board of teak in this application will warp, retain cut marks more easily, and dull your knives faster.

not if it is treated properly, gluing blocks of wood together for a cutting surface is really just a way to keep the cost down.

I haven't seen a good cutting board argument on here in a long time!

Spoken by someone who doesn't know woodworking. Do your research or talk to an experienced woodworker. Wood glue along parallel grains done correctly with the flush edge glue joints can mimic the internal bonding of wood fibers so well that attempting to snap apart two boards edge glued together will cause the wood to break before the joint does.
A solid single slab of wood if it is not large enough will cup and warp. Endgrain boards with the alternate grains glued together negate this action so can be more stable without needing to be very large

Agreed. Not a cutting board that I would spend my money on.

I paid $99 for this on Amazon years ago. Love it. Grabbed another one at $60 the last time Costco had it.
