Bold End Grain Contrast • Built for Serious Kitchen Use

A handcrafted end grain cutting board designed for cooks who appreciate performance, durability, and striking natural contrast.

The item shown in the photos is the exact board you will receive, showcasing the natural grain patterns and character unique to this one-of-a-kind piece.

Unlike mass-produced boards made from edge grain or laminated strips, this board is constructed using true end grain hardwood and finished by hand. The result is a cutting surface built for daily use, long-term durability, and visual impact that only solid hardwood craftsmanship can provide.

Crafted with Purpose

This board is crafted from solid Padauk and Cherry end grain, selected for their strength, contrasting color, and distinctive grain character. The end grain construction highlights the cellular structure of the wood, while the Cherry border adds warmth and visual balance around the richly colored Padauk center. Each block is individually cut, precisely aligned, and sanded smooth by hand, ensuring crisp edges, clean transitions, and a refined, professional feel throughout.
