Thick, durable and kinder to knife blades, our end grain chopping boards are the number one choice for butchers and professional chefs. The boards are completely handmade from start to finish, using the very finest Furniture Grade Amish American Hardwoods found in the North Appalachian Region of New England.
Whether you simply want a good quality worktop saver or a sturdy stand alone butcher block island for your kitchen, our end grain butchers blocks are beautifully crafted and have the most hardwearing cutting surface money can buy. These boards also make great trivets, perfect for hot roasting pans straight from the oven.
End Grain Chopping Boards are a great choice for your kitchen. End grain boards are made up of small pieces of wood that have been joined together so that the end grain is showing on the top, rather than the side grain. End grain boards are highly durable and resistant to knife cuts because their cutting edges instantly close back up after being cut.

If you're looking for an oak end grain chopping board with an extra special touch, you can personalise your cutting board with a special engraving, such as a name, quote or special date.

End Grain Chopping Board FAQs
1. What kind of chopping board is best?
End-grain boards take the top spot for many people. They’re gentler on knife edges, naturally resist bacteria, hold up exceptionally well over time, and add a touch of craftsmanship to your kitchen.
2. What does end-grain mean?
End-grain describes how the wood fibers are oriented—specifically, the surface shows the cut ends of the wood. This grain direction is crucial when crafting a quality cutting board or butcher block. Compared to face-grain, end-grain offers several advantages: it’s kinder to your knife edges, lasts longer, naturally “self-heals,” resists bacteria, and has a stunning visual pattern.
3. Why are end-grain chopping boards better for your knives?
Because the wood fibers stand upright, the blade slips between them instead of chopping across them. This reduces wear on your knife’s edge, helping it stay sharper for longer while providing a smoother cutting experience.
