Our edge-grain cutting boards are an affordable, lower-maintenance alternative to our end-grain boards. Each reversible 14” x 20” x 1 1/2” edge grain cutting board features a 12” ruler laser etched along the top edge and handy finger grooves.

If you order the long grain cutting board with a perimeter groove, it will be cut on the BOTTOM side since the top has a ruler engraved. If you order with both cutting board feet AND a perimeter groove, the groove will bump out at each corner, circumnavigating the installed feet.

We carefully join solid hardwood using a professional-grade, waterproof adhesive that is FDA-approved for indirect food contact (an extra step many makers skip because it is 3 times the cost of cheaper glues). Thanks to the precision of our joinery and the unusually large solid wood blocks we use; your knife almost exclusively contacts wood when you chop. We did the math, and the total amount of glue your knife could encounter (on both faces of the board) is roughly equivalent to the size of a single grain of table salt.

We finish every board by hand with food-safe oil and Board Butter—because real craftsmanship means choosing quality, proven, and safe materials and doing things the right way, not the fast way.

Approximate weights:
Maple- 11 lbs

Walnut- 9 lbs

Cherry- 9 lbs

The Last Cutting Board
You’ll Ever Need

Self-Healing Construction

Vertical wood fibers yield under knife impact and spring back, absorbing cut marks to keep the board smooth.

Saves & Preserves Blade Edges

Far gentler on blades than plastic or flat-grain boards, keeping your knives sharper for longer.

Heirloom Durability

Thicker and sturdier than standard boards, end-grain resists warping and splitting for a lifetime of daily use.

Renewable & Refinishable

Easily sanded down and re-oiled over time to restore the surface to brand-new condition year after year.

Everyday workhorse

Edge grain, made easy

A reversible 14" × 20" × 1½" board with handy finger grooves and a laser-etched 12" ruler. A lower-maintenance alternative to end grain.

No shortcuts

Crafted by Hand in Texas

Every board is hand-assembled in our Frisco workshop using a professional-grade, FDA-approved waterproof adhesive, an extra step many makers skip. Thanks to our large solid blocks, your knife almost exclusively meets wood.

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 MapleThis board	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 CherryThis board	950 lbf	Our softest wood, still hard and durable. Darkens from pinkish brown to a deep reddish brown with light.
