ABOUT THIS BOARD

American Black Walnut - A beautiful, dense and tight-grained timber known for its deep, rich colour. It ranges from creamy white sapwood to dark chocolate heartwood and sands to a smooth finish.

American Cherry - Initially light pink, gradually darkening to a rich reddish colour. Its wavy, unpredictable grain adds distinctive texture to the board’s surface.

Stripy: Alternating strips of different wood species. Contrasting light and dark timbers can produce a particularly striking appearance.

Slimline - A lighter, more minimalist design normally made to approximately 30 mm thick. It has no handles and is supported by rubber feet, giving it a clean appearance while making it easier to lift, move and store than a standard-thickness board. Ideal for customers who want the benefits of an end-grain board in a slimmer format.

CHARACTER BOARD — Grade 4

Grade 4 boards contain filled or unfilled cracks extending to an edge. These cracks have the potential to open further and may cause structural problems over time.

Each board is graded individually and its defects are listed as accurately as possible. Each numbered grade is additional to the previous grade in terms of the types of characteristics that may be present, but only the one selected grade is assigned to the product.

Please see our Store Policy page for full warranty and character-board information.

All measurements are approximate.

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