Cutting boards

A cutting board is an essential part of every kitchen but also a perfect gift. All boards as well as tables are handmade. We use classic wood like walnut or oak but also exotic hardwood like coffee tree, purple heart or iroko which looks just amazing!

 

End Grain

End grain cutting boards are the most durable, have the ability to hide knife marks, and will not dull knives as quickly as plastic or glass cutting boards. But, end grain boards tend to come with a higher price tag as end grain boards require more steps to produce. End grain patterns are unpredictable and can be difficult to match or replicate creating a more unique, one of a kind aspect.

 

Edge Grain

Edge grain boards will be tougher than a face grain board and is a good first step into wooden cutting boards. Edge grain cutting boards require less upkeep then an end grain cutting board. Since the grains of the wood are not exposed the wood will soak up less moisture, making it less likely to warp or crack if not oiled regularly. They may also be thicker than face grain giving the board more weight and body. They also do not have to be as thick as an end grain board which at times can become rather heavy.

 

Face Grain

Face grain boards will show knife marks faster than edge grain or end grain boards and are not recommended for heavy chopping use. But, face grain shows the most grain and often are the most striking of all cutting boards.
