Wooden chopping boards: end grain and edge grain

No two boards are the same – the grain pattern depends on the piece of wood. Pick one of three species and one of three sizes, and we make your board by hand in our workshop.

End grain chopping board

A chequerboard of wood cross-sections. The knife slips between the fibres, so your blade stays sharp for longer and cut marks are less visible. Thick and steady – ideal for meat and big batches.

Edge grain chopping board

Glued from strips running along the grain. Lighter and slimmer – easy to lift every day for bread, vegetables and herbs, and simple to look after.

Which one?

End grain or edge grain?

Both are made from the same timber. What sets them apart is the direction of the grain – and that affects your knives, the weight and the care routine.

End grain

  • Kind to knife edges – cut marks close up
  • Thick and steady – for meat and big portions
  • A striking chequerboard pattern
  • Needs oiling a little more often

Edge grain

  • Lighter and slimmer – for everyday use
  • Easy to care for
  • Calm, long grain pattern
  • Lower price – a good first gift

FAQ

Wooden chopping board FAQ

What is the difference between end grain and edge grain?

On an end grain board the wood fibres stand upright, so the knife slips between them, stays sharp for longer and leaves fewer visible marks. An edge grain board has the fibres running lengthways – it is lighter, slimmer and easier to look after.

Which wood is best for a chopping board: oak, ash or beech?

All three are hardwoods well suited to kitchen use. Oak has a warm tone and bold grain, ash is pale and resilient, and beech has an even texture with fine pores. Beech is also slightly cheaper.

What size chopping board should I choose?

Size S suits bread, fruit and herbs. M covers everyday cooking, and L is best for meat and larger batches. Measure your worktop and storage space before ordering.

How do I clean a wooden chopping board?

Wash it by hand in warm water with a little washing-up liquid, wipe it dry and stand it on its edge. Never put it in the dishwasher or leave it to soak.

What oil should I use, and how often?

Your board arrives oiled and ready to use. After that, use a dedicated board oil or food-grade mineral oil. Oil the board every few weeks, or whenever the wood looks dry and dull. Avoid olive oil and other cooking oils, as they can turn rancid.

Why do the boards have feet, a juice groove and handles?

The rubber feet (standard) stop the board from sliding and lift it off a wet worktop. A juice groove catches liquid from meat and fruit, and handles make the board easier to carry. Add the groove and handles in the configurator.
