Get the biggest, 3 inch handmade board you can find make sure it has grooves cut into the edges for the juices.

I have this 24x18 one and it is great. Nice board with a great size to it. Problem is it appears they are sold out, but you want something in that range.
Ignore the poster above. You don't need a 3" thick one. That's a heavy board that is better for chopping and such rather than meat prep and serving.

I agree with above but I will add the opinion that it should be end grain.
I have a nice one that is big enough for a whole brisket to be sliced on and I leave it on my counter tops because it is beautiful.

Hard disagree with end grain. Those are great for chopping and food prep, but it's overkill for meat slicing and serving. If he's looking for a board that is for meat prep and serving, then you want a thinner board that's easier to carry and handle.

True.

He’s not really looking. This is to keep him out of the doghouse when he slices on stuff my daughter doesn’t want him to. Haha!
Thanks to all of you.

The best ones have that groove on one side and thats the meat side the other side is for veggies and never confuse the 2 or suffer the wrath of wife, daughter of a chef and nutritionist she is a bit of a board snob she wants real wood not too exotic with the groove she dont caare if they cheap and fall apart if dropped. She says ya dont wanna keep the same one too long anyways

What does this even mean? A properly cared for end wood grain cutting board should last a lifetime, at least.

at the worst you can sand down the side that is too dirty/cut up and refinish it.

Besides looking better, are there benefits to end grain vs long grain?
Posted on 12/6/21 at 6:43 pm to Uncle JackD
End grain is "harder" and less penetrable to bacteria and stands up to cutting and chopping much better than the long grain would.
Posted on 12/6/21 at 6:48 pm to jmon
Gotcha. So worth the extra $$
Posted on 12/6/21 at 7:08 pm to Uncle JackD
Absolutely.

I make them if your interested in a custom one. “Rebirth Woodworks” on Facebook and Instagram.

The biggest advantage to end grain is that it is easier on your knife edge. If you take a lot of time sharpening and honing frequently to keep a razor edge, the end grain will help you keep it. Long grain is still better than glass or plastic but it is just a little less friendly to edges than end grain.
