Is it really end grain? The picture makes it look like it’s edge grain. End grain usually has much smaller pieces, rather than long pieces.

Ctrl C/Ctrl Ving my comment from another teak board. Different artist same tune...
"If you love your knives, you will avoid this. Teak and Bamboo tend to have pretty high silicate content which wears away your knife edge, kinda like bits of sandpaper grit embedded in the wood.
Yes, it's beautiful, but buy a fancy copper pot you never intend on using or a painting if you want art. A cutting board is functional and it's primary job is to sit at a comfortable working height for you, fit your counters dimensions and allow you to safely prepare food while doing as little damage to your knife edge as possible.
Want an alternative at a similar price? Go grab a Hinoki Elm board; you can find them either at bezosland or the ElectronicsBay; japanese chefs have used them for years, they're easy on your knife edge, light weight so they're using to move to the sink to clean and smell great. The only downsides are you can't get massive chunks of it without paying out the wazoo due to the only source being japan and the high demand ( I think mine is around 12x18, it was around 70 bucks if I recall), the wood isn't as oily as teak so you'll need to oil it once a more or so with some mineral oil to prevent cracking/splitting down the road, and because it's so light you'll need to keep a kitchen towel or rubber mat (which is just good practice no matter what board you use to prevent slippage) underneath to prevent it from dancing as you dice.
You can also grab a set of non-slip rubber boards, sold in multipacks online which can be tossed in the dishwasher and are probably still better for your knife edge then this abomination, and for that matter are good to keep around for dealing with meats as they're easier to sanitize. They're also only like 25 bucks for a 3 pack of various sizes, so they won't break the bank as a budget option.
Now you have better alternatives to this beautiful piece of junk, go into the world and cook, chop chop!"
Yadayada, these are bad for your knives, don't buy them. Want something cheap and dishwasher safe? Buy Polycarb. Want something easy on your knives and is wood? Buy enoki. Do you suffer from chronic anal retention and have exacting control over how hard your blades meet your board and only push/pull cut? Buy a hisoft. Want wood for looks but also don't want to obliterate your knives or have a board that will warp? Buy boardsmith.
The sooner people stop buying these goddamn bamboo/teak boards the better our chances of MD actually getting good cutting boards here.

DTL1020Happy to help where I can.
My parents purchased a boos board a little over a year ago, currently it's got two cracks going through it which seem to be a pretty major issue with them. I've tried to get them to contact boos for assistance with it, but they're stubborn and don't care for some reason.
A major reason why it cracked, other then natural wood movement I believe is due to the fact that it doesn't have rubber feet under it. So anytime you wash it, unless you prop it up and let it fully air dry for a day or so you end up with some trapped moisture that will cause swelling. Boardsmiths come with the feet by default, so you do lose a side of the board for use but it should add to the longevity. Beyond that the owner of boardsmith is super active on kitcheknifeforums, and very forward with his advice to folks there, he seems to want to go above and beyond to assist customers and provide a board that will last a lifetime which I greatly respect. The way I see it if you're already paying 300 for a boos, another 100 for a boardsmith is worth it for the peace of mind that comes with it.

$108 on Amazon. Looks like a good deal. Concerned regarding warping mentioned in Amazon reviews - not certain warping reported on jumbo or large in the reviews. Should this be oiled immediately?

PathworksI owned very similar teak boards from Teakhaus (purchased from Amazon). When I saw the picture I thought it was the exact same board, but then checking back I noticed it's a different brand (Maderia vs. Teakhaus). And yes, you have to oil these immediately before use. The finish on this is a big rough when you receive it, but once you oil it, it will look a lot nicer (it will take on a nice darker finish).
Unfortunately, both teak boards I have had have warped / cracked with time. I oiled the boards, but maybe I didn't oil them often enough (oiled maybe every 2-3 months, because I'm lazy so totally my bad) so I can't say if it's because of the oiling frequency or just how it's going to be with wooden boards. When I washed these boards I dry them immediately with paper towels so I thought that would be enough, but I guess not. Large lasted me 6 months (18x14x0.75) before I decided to replace it, and the jumbo Teakhaus (20x15x1.5) has already warped after 3 months of use, but still completely usable.
On the other hand, most of the other chopping boards I have bought at this price point or cheaper (never tried more expensive) have warped over the course of the first year, except the bamboo ones, which lasted longer but were never as nice to use or handle.
I'm considering going with a *gasp* plastic board from Oxo just because i'm sick of having to tip toe around using my wooden boards and still have them warp. I have had a small Oxo plastic board for a few years for small tasks, and it's held up very well. I may use my teak boards for when guests come, but use the Oxo ones for the daily cooking tasks.

bought two of these from a different store and immediately returned them for a rough, lackluster finish.
not at all saying this is a bad purchase, as you're paying less than half the price, for more than half the quality - even at MSRP! a good edge grain block costs upwards of $200.
just sayin'. might give it another try since the price here is low enough to justify applying finish on my own.
