Custom Cutting Board - Made to Order
Using only hardwoods, this hand-crafted board will be a beautiful addition to any kitchen! Custom made to order, your cutting board will be a unique blend of one, or some of the following:
Walnut
Maple
Cherry
Sapele
Padauk
Purpleheart
You have the option of requesting cut out handles in the ends of the board, or left untouched. You can also request rounded or beveled edge finish as well as to include rubber feet or not. All options at no additional charge.
A juice groove can be added to the board for an additional $10. This is recommended if you plan on carving meat on the board to ensure dripping don’t run off the edge. (Groove will be approx 1/4" deep and run ~1" from the edge of the board.)
Boards are finished with a 48 hour cure of food safe oils as well as a wax finish for durability. Included with each order is a 2oz canister of Dusty Beard Woodcrafts Wood Butter to help keep your product protected and looking new!
Dimensions:
~12”x18”x~1 1/4”
Please allow 1-2 week lead time for completion once design is finalized.
Edge Grain vs End Grain
Edge grain is your standard cutting board that you will find around. End grain (butcher blocks) are sought after by chefs and experienced cooks for their durability. Imagine wood grain as a paintbrush. On an edge-grain board, the paintbrush is laying flat. When you cut across the bristles (i.e. wood grain) you slice the bristles off with a blunt cut. This leaves knife marks on your edge grain board. On an end grain board, that paintbrush is flipped up vertically and your knife slides in between the bristles when you cut. This keeps your knife sharper. Also, the neighboring bristles will bounce back so you see fewer knife marks over time.
On an edge grain board, long strips of wood are glued together with the edge of the wood flipped sideways, showing the length of the grain. They are more affordable than end grain boards and they require less upkeep since the ends of the grain are not fully exposed.
To make an end grain board, blocks of wood are glued together with the ends flipped up vertically. This vertical orientation is what makes end grain cutting boards (AKA butcher blocks) so appealing. When cutting on an end grain board, your knife stays sharper because you are slicing in between the wood’s fibers. And end grain cutting boards are somewhat “self-repairing” because those wood fibers bounce back into place after chopping.
