Walnut End Grain Cutting Board

Regular price $250.00
/

Feet are installed on your board to provide stability and air circulation. We strongly encourage this, and most of our customers agree.

Use

  • Your board will arrive already seasoned and ready for use. We use a pharmacy grade, food safe mineral oil, followed by beeswax, for water resistance and protection.
  • End Grain cutting boards are more scratch-resistant and easier on knives than other boards, but still avoid using serrated knives

Care

  • Hand-wash with hot, soapy water. Always dry thoroughly.
  • Never soak or submerge board in water, or place in the dishwasher.
  • To help maintain water repellency, apply our Board Butter (or a combination of heated mineral oil and beeswax) to the cutting surface periodically. First clean and sanitize the board, then apply paste with a soft cloth. Rub into the surface and wipe off any excess.  

MADE-TO-ORDER - please allow 2-3 weeks before shipping

As a small, family-owned business, we take pride in crafting each butcher block by hand.

Depending on the number of orders in the queue, it may take up to 2-3 weeks to make and ship your butcher block. 

If you need your order in time for a birthday, anniversary, etc., please don’t hesitate to reach out at john@theboardsmith.com and we'll see what we can do.

Otherwise, we look forward to shipping this out to you once it is ready!

Defects are described as anything which will render the board as unusable such as cracks, splits, or warps. Natural coloration of the wood is not a defect.

Customer Induced Damage

All items with customer induced damage will not be acceptable for returns.

Special Orders

Due to the customer specific nature of special orders, special order boards are not eligible for returns. 

Freight Damages, Loss, or Theft

As of October, 2022, The Boardsmith is using allowing customers to purchase Route Shipping Insurance as a third party insurer on packages. In the event your shipment is lost, stolen (eg porch pirates), or damaged in transit, Route will replace your items. This insurance is entirely optional and The Boardsmith does not profit in any way from the service. If you elect NOT to get shipping insurance, and if your order is damaged, lost, or stolen while in transit, you are agreeing to assume liability for that loss or damage. 

Historically, loss, theft, or damage occurs in approximately 1% of shipments. Incidents are normally far higher during the Christmas season than at other times of the year. 

 

Crafted with sustainably harvested Black Walnut. These boards have a deep chocolate color highlighted with black streaks and some lighter-colored sapwood. Some boards are fairly consistent in color, and others have high contrast between lighter and darker woods. 

Of the three hardwoods we use, walnut arguably has the highest 'Wow!' factor. In terms of durability, it has the perfect balance of scratch resistance and gentleness on knife edges. 

While we can't guarantee any particular look, you are welcome to request a preference in the 'comments' section and we will accommodate if we have one available. Some customers prefer it more uniform and others like high contrast. 

Built to be beautiful. Built to last.

An Excellent board

Coming from using John Boos, I find the Walnut End Grain board from Boardsmith to be a much better board. It seems to be the right hardness, definitely well oiled and more aesthetic. I recommend Boardsmith cutting boards very highly.

The packaging was excellent and the paper surrounding the board was wet with oil ! Love it.

We have used it already and we find it an absolute joy to use.

Beautiful walnut butcher block

I love my end grain walnut butcher block cutting board. The care instructions were simple and it looks great and works well.

A wonderful piece for the kitchen

Love using the board as the cook of the family! It feels luxurious and practical at the same time. It’s nice and weighty so it’s a stable platform, and the walnut feels great to use my knives on.
It’s a striking, well crafted piece that folks can’t help but comment on. I’m sure this will be an heirloom someday.

It’s stunning. Heavy duty. Looks like it will last me a long time as long as I care for it.

Beautiful

Thank you for the beautiful board and for honoring my request for a high contrast color scheme. I got this for my husband's birthday. He was content with one of the discounted boards but I wanted to surprise him with one of the regular ones. I know it's a little silly but he has a look of joy on his face when he uses it, to hear that full sound when chopping vegetables is wonderful. If someone is reading my review and thinks, is this worth it? Yes, it is worth every penny. It is beautiful, well-crafted, and will withstand many years of use. Do yourself a favor and grab the butter while you're here because it really does keep it nice and goes a long way.
