We rarely make Edge Grain Boards with our left over strips, but they are just as pretty as our End Grain. An edge grain board is built with long strips of wood glued together laterally. An end grain block is comprised of lots of smaller blocks of wood glued vertically. You can learn more about the difference in this video if you are interested.

End Grain boards are easier on a knife's edge and don't show knife marks as prominently. Edge Grain (sometimes called Face Grain) boards are less expensive because they take less wood and less labor.

We recommend cutting on one side and using the other side as a display and charcuterie surface. These make great gifts!

This board already comes equipped with Finger Grooves and a Bottom Perimeter Groove. Engraving is also available for a small fee.

Feet will NOT come standard on this board, but if you order a set we will be happy to install them for you.

Know your wood

Three domestic hardwoods, chosen for the job

Hardness is measured on the Janka scale: the force needed to press a steel ball halfway into the wood. Hard enough to last, gentle enough on your knives.

Janka hardness of the woods The Boardsmith uses
Wood	Janka hardness	Character
Hard Maple	1450 lbf	The hardest of our woods. Very small pores help keep moisture and food out.
Black WalnutThis board	1010 lbf	Rich, dark brown heartwood. Like all three, durable and kind to knife edges.
Black Cherry	950 lbf	Our softest wood, still hard and durable. Darkens from pinkish brown to a deep reddish brown with light.
