Williams Sonoma End-Grain Cutting Board

End-grain wood is oriented so the wood fibers stand vertically. When your knife strikes the board, the blade slips between these fibers rather than cutting across them, which significantly reduces dulling and keeps your edges sharper for longer.

No, this board is not dishwasher safe. High heat and excessive water exposure will cause the teak wood to warp, crack, or split. We recommend hand washing with mild soap and drying it immediately.

This specific model does not feature a juice groove. It is designed with a flat, reversible surface that maximizes your prep space, making it ideal for chopping vegetables or serving charcuterie.

Because this board is crafted from dense, heavy teak and features an end-grain construction, it has significant natural weight. This heft helps it stay firmly planted on your countertop during standard prep work, though you can always place a damp towel underneath for extra stability.

To prevent the wood from drying out, you should periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil or cutting board conditioner. This keeps the teak hydrated, maintains its rich color, and helps it naturally resist moisture.

Absolutely. The rich, natural grain patterns of the teak make it an elegant choice for serving. Because it is reversible, you can designate one side for heavy-duty prep and keep the other side pristine for appetizers or charcuterie.
