These boards are made by gluing blocks of wood with the end grain facing up. The wood fibers absorb knives and leave behind minimal marks. Shop this beautiful and durable style of cutting board.

End Grain Cutting Boards are considered one of the best types of cutting boards because they absorb blades nicely without leaving many cuts or other marks. They even “self-heal” to an extent, as the wood fibers spring back after being cut. This makes for an excellent cutting board that will hold up to years of heavy use.

End Grain Cutting Boards vs. Edge Grain Cutting Boards

The main difference between End Grain and Edge Grain Boards is the part of the grain that’s used as a cutting surface. While 'Edge Grain' is made with the sides of the wood as the cutting surface, an 'End Grain' Board uses the end of a strip of wood. Because of this, these boards need to be assembled with many different pieces of wood, giving them a distinct checkered pattern.
