ABOUT THIS BOARD

Mixed Species - Made using two or more timber species. Combining contrasting colours and grain patterns can create a highly distinctive board.

Original: A single wood species arranged in a traditional brick pattern using square blocks. The classic Skinner Designs end-grain layout.

Character: Character chopping boards are boards that are not quite perfect. They may contain visual features such as knots and unusual grain patterns, or physical defects such as cracks, filled areas, dents or scratches. Wood is a natural material and these features can occasionally appear in a finished board despite efforts to exclude them. Rather than discard these boards, Skinner Designs grades each one individually, describes its defects as accurately as possible and offers it at a corresponding discount.

Standard - A clean and understated design with straight sides, no handles and rubber feet. Its simple profile keeps attention on the timber, grain and end-grain pattern while providing a stable, raised working surface. A dependable choice for customers who prefer a straightforward and timeless board.

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.
