What it is

A solid walnut end grain cutting board for everyday cooking and serving. The upright wood fibers are gentle on your knife edges, a routed juice groove keeps juices on the board, and hidden handles make it easy to lift.

  • S: 14.2 × 9.4 in, 1 in thick (36 × 24 × 2.5 cm)
  • M: 15.7 × 11 in, 1 in thick (40 × 28 × 2.5 cm)
  • L: 17.7 × 11.8 in, 1.2 in thick (45 × 30 × 3 cm)
  • Set of 3: one board in each size
  • Solid walnut, end grain
  • Juice groove all the way around
  • Hidden handles
  • Finished with a food-safe oil
  • Inspected before it ships

Every board is unique: grain and color of each block vary.

Why an end grain walnut board?

On an end grain board the wood fibers stand upright, like the bristles of a brush. Your knife slips between them instead of cutting across them, so the edge stays sharp longer and fine cut marks partly close up again. Walnut adds the deep brown color with warm amber grain, and the board looks just as good on the table as a serving or charcuterie board as it does on the counter as a butcher block for daily prep.

Which size is right for you?

  • S for fruit, herbs, cheese and breakfast
  • M as the everyday all-rounder for vegetables, bread and meat
  • L for roasts, brisket, carving and big batches
  • Set of 3 for every job, and a great gift for people who love to cook

Easy care

Hand wash with warm water and a little dish soap, never in the dishwasher, and let it dry standing on its edge. Wax it about once a month. Sizes M, L and the Set of 3 come with a free 80 g jar of beeswax board butter (one per order). Read the full care guide.

Free shipping to the US and the UK, duties included. 30-day satisfaction guarantee on unused boards.

The problem

How to spot a bad cutting board

Most boards look great on day one. A few months in, you find out what they’re really made of.

Dull knives

1Dull knives

On edge grain, glass, or hard plastic, the blade cuts across the fibers or hits a hard surface. The edge rolls, and you end up sharpening much more often.

Knife edge slipping between upright end grain fibers
The solution

How end grain works

On an end grain board, the wood fibers point up, like the bristles of a brush. Your blade slips between the fibers instead of slicing through them. Afterward, the fibers close back up.

No gimmick, just the natural structure of the wood.

Care routine

Your care routine

Five minutes a month is all it takes. With M, L and the Set, the free beeswax board butter covers the first months.

Wax it once before first use

Rub a thin layer of beeswax board butter (free with M, L and the Set) over the whole board, let it sit for 20 minutes and buff off the rest with a soft cloth.

FAQ

Everything you want to know

Which size is right for me?

S (14.2 × 9.4 in) is great for fruit, herbs, cheese and breakfast. M (15.7 × 11 in) is the everyday all-rounder. L (17.7 × 11.8 in, 1.2 in thick) is made for roasts, bread and big batches. Not sure? The Set of 3 covers everything.

What wood is it, and where is it made?

Solid walnut, glued up from end grain blocks. No veneer, no filler wood and no plastic coating. The dark color is the wood itself, and every board is unique.

Our boards are made by a partner workshop in China that specializes in end grain boards. We inspect every board before it ships: flatness, glue joints, the juice groove, the surface and the finish.

How long does shipping take, and is it free?

Shipping is free to the US and the UK, no minimum. To the other countries we ship to, a flat shipping rate is shown at checkout. Delivery takes 6–10 business days, because every board is checked and freshly finished before it ships. You get a tracking link by email as soon as your order is on its way.

Will I have to pay customs or import duties?

US and UK: no. Duties are included in the price and your board is delivered to your door. In the US, sales tax is added at checkout where your state requires it. In the UK, VAT is already included in the price. Other countries: your local customs may charge import duties and taxes on delivery.

What if I don't love it?

Not in love with the wood or the color? Return your board unused and in its original packaging within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. Just email us your order number and we send you the return address. Return shipping is paid by the customer. For hygiene reasons, we can't accept boards that have been used.

What if it arrives damaged?

Send us a photo and your order number within 7 days of delivery. If your board arrived damaged or with a defect such as a crack or an open glue joint, we replace it free of charge, shipping included.

How do I care for it?

Hand wash only, never the dishwasher, and let it dry standing on its edge. Before the first use and about once a month, rub in a thin layer of beeswax board butter (free with M, L and the Set), let it sit for 20 minutes and buff off the rest. Deeper marks after years of use can be sanded out with fine sandpaper.

Is wood hygienic, even for raw meat?

Yes, as long as you care for it: wash it with hot water and dish soap right after use and let it dry fully. Many cooks keep one board for meat and one for everything else, which is why the Set of 3 is popular.
