Why are cutting boards expensive?

The thicker a board is, the less likely it is to warp and it can be resurfaced more times. That also makes the materials more expensive to buy, machine, and transport.

Does cutting on a glass cutting board dull knives?

What kind of cutting board is best for your knives?

Woods like maple or teak are best, because they won't blunt the blade as easily as a harder surface like plastic, marble or glass.
