We looked at numerous stores and WEB sites trying to find a cutting board for our sons birthday.   It needed to be large enough to handle large cuts of meat like beef brisket and pork shoulder.  The other requirement was a good drip channel to hold the meat juice. This board fit the requirements perfectly. Not only that, it has nice cutout hand grips and both ends. The extra bonus is the beautiful teak, which you can proudly display on your counter. His wife is already eyeing it as a charcuterie board!
