End Grain Cutting Board
End Grain Cutting Board
Couldn't load pickup availability
End grain means the board is built from the ends of the boards rather than their faces — the wood fibers stand up vertically, like the bristles of a brush. Your knife slips between them instead of cutting across them.
Two things follow. Your knives stay sharp far longer. And the board heals itself: the fibres close back up, so it doesn't scar the way a face-grain board does.
It costs more because it's far more work. Every one of those squares is a separate piece of wood, cut, turned and glued.
Honest notes
- Buy this if you cook seriously and care about your knives. If you chop a tomato twice a week, the classic board is the honest recommendation.
- Heavier than it looks — 14 lb.
- End grain absorbs more readily than face grain. Never let it sit wet, and re-oil more often.
- Hand wash only, never the dishwasher, and never leave it standing wet.

This is exactly what I was looking for, however it was a little larger than I was expecting. It was a challenge finding a place to store it. I have to just keep it on the stove. It covers the entire top of my glasstop stove if that tells you anything.
One of my best purchases. Love it!!!!!
A very simple, beautiful and effective kitchen tool that you'll love buying.
Works great, nice and thick. Brightens up my kitchen
Amazing end grain cutting board. Highly recommend.

Amazing end grain cutting board. Highly recommend.
great quality!
It is huge! It is thick and it is heavy. It is well made and beautiful but it really only works if you plan to keep it setting on your counter 100% of the time. I did not realize quite how big or heavy it is when I ordered it which is my fault. I rated it low strictly from my perspective of usability or lack thereof.
This really is a nice butcher block, unfortunately there was a crack in the wood (not at a glue joint). I ordered a replacement and will update when that arrives. Annoyingly I didn’t notice it before I applied conditioner to it. Oh wellUpdated 02-16-2024The replacement had some minor quality control issues. The routered grooves were a little rough and fibrous with some tool blemishes in the rounded compartments. The seller quickly contacted me to see how this could be resolved and I was very pleased with the outcome. I'm increasing 1 star for the excellent customer service. With all the other boards out there, I'm still pleased with the purchase
Good quality wood , beautiful maple wood cutting board .
This cutting board is made beautifully and gorgeous to look at. We used a bamboo cutting board for years and are so happy to have retired it!! Also, should anything not be 100% right with this item the customer service is superb. I'd recommend this board and the company every time. You will not be dissappointed.
This is a beautiful cutting board that I really want to love. But it arrived warped, cupped over 1/8 inch. For the price, that is very disappointing.UPDATE: After a week or so, with some moisture added and pressure applied, be board is now much closer to flat. The seller was easy to contact and provided good support. I'd probably give the board 3.5 stars if I could. If it stays in its current condition with regular maintenance, I'd give it 4 stars. But I worry that, even with regular oiling, it's going to exhibit a lot of movement over time. That's a lot of pressure on the glue joints in an end-grain board, so I worry about them failing and the board cracking after only a couple of years.
I got this cutting board for Christmas and I applied mineral oil to it, man did those colors pop! Saving up to buy it’s big brother!
Good board
Received in PERFECT condition. Excellent craftsmanship, flat as a billiard table. 2" thick, it's massive and very stable in use. Applied cutting board wood care beeswax paste and a USP grade mineral oil wipe down upon opening to ensure moisture resilience. Easy on my knives, wipes clean very easily. 4 1/2* rating. Not a 5 rating yet as it's way too early to tell if it cracks, splinters or warps (last supposed *high quality* board warped and became unsafe to use).
Love the beautiful wood. Nice and heavy
Just as described
This is an absolutely beautiful board. It is well-made and very sturdy. I like the handles carved into the ends for easy flipping of the board and that one side has a ditch for juices to drain into. It’s the nicest cutting board I’ve ever owned and I’m sure it’s the last one I’ll need to buy.
I love the look of it, so attractive! It is large enough to hold all my veggies as I prep dinner. The only downside is the weight of the thing, 13 lbs., which means I have to clean it in place on the counter. Which isn't a problem except the juice groove is a total pain to get food out of. I have started to just leave it on the other side which works since I don't use this board for meat anyway
this is actually very nice.
Heavy duty and well sized but board is warped and does not sit flat on counter tops. Rocks when you cut on it. Contacted manufacturer - hassle free issue resolved. New board received in a few days no questions asked. Just sent a iPhone photo and new board quickly received. Great Board!!
I used this board two times, and was very pleased with it. It has a nice trip catch, the wood is a very nice color and the thickness is great. I really like it.
Presention Looks great use for any kind of food cutting
Great cutting board. It was very thick and very well built
The cutting board is absolutely beautiful and a work of art
I bought two of these. They’re for a dual purpose here. I use them standing on their sides to cover small windows on each side of my stovetop because they’re so pretty. They are heavy, straight cut corners so no worries about them tipping over. I keep them generously rubbed with oil every few weeks. I’m giving one 3 stars because there are saw marks I can’t get off and it had a fairly deep scratch on one side. The other one is perfect and it gets 5 stars.
Looks good -- especially after being oiled -- and its nice and large for cutting large cuts of meat. Even though I've hand-washed and been very reliable about oiling it it has separated in a few places along the seems of the individual pieces of wood. Kind of a shame but it seems to have settled down and so I don't expect it to break apart. Will just have to be careful about not allowing it to get bacteria in the cracks.
This cutting board is very well made. The groove are convenient for catching vegetable liquid. I've used it on a daily basis for months and most highly recommend it.
Board is cracking down the middle and is bowing beyond use in a matter of a few months.Seller contacted me and went above and beyond to make the situation correct. Thanks!
Love this great cutting board. I've been using it several times now and It seems to be very heavy duty and durable! This wood cutting board's made of high quality!
Love this cutting board. It's quality and looks beautiful sitting on my counter. The price was right as well. I wanted a really big board, but couldn't afford those 300 to 500 price tags. This is exactly what I wanted.
Overall this cutting board is well-built, sturdy, has one side with a groove for catching juices, has grooves on the edges for steady handling, it lays flat (no warping) and since using it for almost 2 years, I've had no structural problems. I follow the instruction to oil it and and flip it over to prevent sagging.
This was bought as a Christmas present. My daughter likes it very much. Very happy with it.
Great board, for the price. It’ll sit out on the counter so I sanded it down with 320 then 400, couple coats of mineral oil then a couple coats of board wax. Came out darker and smooth. The grain pops pretty nicely.This edge grain board will be a bit tougher on your knife edges, so keep that in mind.
