Walnut, Maple and Purpleheart Cutting Board

Description

This cutting board is handcrafted in the UK from a combination of American Black Walnut, Hard Maple, and Purpleheart. The contrasting tones of these hardwoods create a distinctive striped pattern, with each board displaying its own unique variation in colour and grain.

All timber is hand-selected for quality, and every board is made individually to ensure strength, stability, and consistency.

Made to Order

This cutting board is handcrafted after your order is placed, allowing each piece to receive the care and attention it deserves throughout the making process.

Hardwood Combination

Black Walnut provides rich, dark tones and a smooth cutting surface.

Hard Maple adds brightness, density, and durability.

Purpleheart introduces striking contrast and exceptional hardness.

Edge-Grain Construction

The board is constructed using edge-grain orientation, with the long grain of the wood facing upward. This creates a stable, durable surface well suited to everyday chopping and food preparation, while remaining lighter and easier to handle than end-grain boards.

Finish

Each board is finished with multiple coats of pure tung oil to protect the wood and enhance its natural colour. A final coat of beeswax is applied to seal the surface, creating a smooth, food-safe finish.

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 without reducing usable cutting space.

Ideal Use

• Everyday chopping and food preparation
• Vegetables, meats, herbs, and bread
• Designed for regular kitchen use — not decorative only

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.
