You'll notice the Teak wood end-grain chopping board thanks to its distinctive pattern. You'll love the chopping board - favored by cooking enthusiasts because it requires little to no maintenance. End-grain chopping boards are made from the short pieces of lumber - in our case, durable, authentic Brazilian teak wood - that are grafted together vertically with the end pieces making up the surface. The look is as eye-catching as it is functional. The board's dense surface also makes it more stable during use - while it's carved out a groove along the edge catches juice or liquid so it won't spill over the side. Country of origin: Made in Brazil.
