There's quite a bit of work involved in making an end-grain cutting board! I made this one from New Braunfels ISD White Oak and Schreiber Bloodwood. arranging the pieces to create the checkerboard-like pattern.
With end-grain construction, you're cutting against the ends of the wood fibers rather than across their sides, which is easier on your knife edges. I soaked the finished board in food-grade mineral oil and applied pure beeswax by hand.
Dimensions: 17½" L × 12½" W × 1½" H
Weight: 8.2 lb
