Question 1

What's all the fuss about End Grain Chopping Boards?

Answer

An end grain cutting boards surface is up to one and a half times harder than a standard "face grain" cutting board alternative. The orientation of the woodfibres mean that a knife will slide between fibres rather than cutting them. This means the board surface will last longer and you knives will stay sharper for longer. Regular treatment with our Oil and Wax will cause the board to "self-heal". This will impel the wood fibres to close together around most scratches on the surface; almost bringing back the original surface finish.

Question 2

How long does it take to make a bespoke chopping board?

Answer

If we have the material in stock we can process an order in 2- 3 weeks. We are able to make boards quicker than this. The minium time is 3 days as we need to wait for the glue to dry before we can finish the boards.
