Walnut Edge Grain Cutting Board – Handmade Hardwood Chopping Board

This cutting board is handcrafted in the UK from solid American Black Walnut using edge-grain construction. Each board is made individually, with carefully selected hardwood to ensure strength, stability, and consistency.

As walnut is a natural material, each board features unique variations in colour and grain — no two boards are ever exactly alike.

Why Black Walnut:
American Black Walnut is a premium hardwood prized for its deep, rich brown tones and elegant grain patterns. Its fine, closed-grain structure helps limit moisture absorption, contributing to good stability and a smooth surface in use. Walnut’s natural warmth and refined appearance make it a popular choice for high-quality kitchen pieces.

Edge-Grain Construction:
Edge-grain boards are constructed with the long grain of the wood facing upward, creating a durable and stable surface well suited to everyday kitchen prep. Compared to end-grain boards, edge-grain boards are typically lighter, thinner, and easier to handle, while still offering excellent durability for regular use.

Finish:
Each board is finished with multiple coats of pure tung oil, followed by a beeswax top coat. This food-safe finish nourishes the wood, helps protect against moisture, and enhances the natural colour and grain of the walnut.

Optional Juice Groove
A juice groove can be added on request. Routed into the top face, it is designed to catch liquids during food preparation.

Ideal Use
• Everyday chopping and food preparation
 • Vegetables, meats, herbs, and bread
 • Lighter and easier to handle than end-grain boards
All surfaces and edges are carefully sanded to a smooth, comfortable finish.

Care:

To maintain the board’s appearance and longevity, periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil or board conditioner when the surface appears dry. Regular oiling helps prevent drying, cracking, and staining.

Care Instructions:

• Hand wash only with warm water and mild soap.
• Do not soak the board or leave it sitting in water.
• Dry immediately after washing with a towel.
• Never place the board in a dishwasher.
• Avoid exposing the board to excessive heat or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
• Store flat on a dry surface.
• Minor knife marks are normal and part of the board’s natural ageing process.
