Know before you buy
The end-grain construction allows your knife blade to slide between the wood fibers rather than cutting across them. This reduces resistance and prevents your knives from dulling as quickly as they would on a side-grain surface.
This board must be hand-washed only; never submerge it in water or place it in the dishwasher, as the moisture can cause the wood to warp or crack. We recommend regularly applying a food-safe mineral oil or conditioner to keep the wood hydrated and prevent it from drying out.
Because the wood fibers naturally close back up after being sliced, the end-grain surface is highly resistant to deep scarring. While light marks may appear with heavy use, they are significantly less visible than on traditional flat-grain boards.
Yes, the 1.5-inch thickness provides a substantial, stable base that won't slide or flex during intense prep work. Its weight and density make it an ideal surface for everything from daily vegetable chopping to heavy-duty meat carving.
Dickinson Woodworking utilizes a variety of locally sourced native woods, often reclaimed from storm-damaged trees. Because they use natural, sustainable materials, each board will feature unique grain patterns and color variations.
