{"product_id":"319-1-walnut-edge-grain-12-x-8-75-x-1-5","title":"319-1 Walnut Edge Grain 12 x 8.75 x 1.5","description":"Occasionally we make cutting boards that we call \"Frankenboards\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrankenboard: When making butcher block, the first step is to glue up a large panel. We then cross-cut strips from that panel, turning them on end in sequence and gluing those together to form the final butcher block. We often have extra strips from any given panel. When we have a butcher block formed from strips from more than a single panel, that's a \"Frankenboard\". Nothing wrong with it, it's just that the look of the grain pattern from one row to the next doesn't necessarily flow seamlessly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this case we took leftover strips and made an Edge Grain Board.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe 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 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=utBRNCMLqPM\u0026amp;t=3s\"\u003evideo\u003c\/a\u003e if you are interested.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnd 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe recommend cutting on one side and using the other side as a display and charcuterie surface. These make great gifts!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis board is fairly small - about the same size as our Sidekicks, so it got a hefty discount. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeet will NOT come standard on this board, but if you order a set we will be happy to install them for you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can also order finger grooves, a juice groove and\/or engraving at checkout.","brand":"The Boardsmith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53335408410921,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0415\/5218\/3446\/files\/319-1_Walnut_Edge_Grain_12_x_8.75_x_1.5.jpg?v=1784046290","url":"https:\/\/theboardsmith.com\/products\/319-1-walnut-edge-grain-12-x-8-75-x-1-5","provider":"The Boardsmith","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
