Know before you buy
End-grain construction means the wood fibers are oriented vertically, which allows your knife edge to slide between the fibers rather than cutting through them. This makes the board self-healing, as the fibers naturally close back up after use, and significantly extends the sharpness of your blades.
The integrated front lip hooks over the edge of your countertop, providing a physical anchor that prevents the board from sliding or shifting while you chop. It is particularly helpful for heavy-duty tasks like kneading dough or breaking down large cuts of meat.
Yes, we offer a no-lip design option if you prefer a traditional, flat profile that can be used from any side. Simply select this preference when placing your order.
Because this is a natural wood product, you should never submerge it in water or put it in the dishwasher. Maintain the wood by regularly applying a food-safe mineral oil or board cream to keep it hydrated and prevent cracking.
No, each board is a unique piece of kitchen art. Because we use natural, sustainably sourced wood, the grain patterns and color variations will differ from piece to piece, ensuring your board is one-of-a-kind.
The brass inlay is primarily an aesthetic feature that adds a refined, custom look to the board. It does not affect the cutting surface or the performance of the wood, but it does elevate the board as a centerpiece for your kitchen.
