Crafted with sustainably harvested Black Walnut. These dark wood cutting boards have a deep chocolate color highlighted with black streaks and some lighter-colored sapwood. Each board we make is completely unique and dependent on the tree that grew the wood. Due to the wide variation in colors within walnut we cannot guarantee any particular look or aesthetic.
Of the three hardwoods we use, walnut arguably has the highest 'Wow!' factor. In terms of durability, the walnut end grain butcher block has the perfect balance of scratch resistance and gentleness on knife edges.
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.
Built to be beautiful. Built to last.
