End Grain Chopping Block

  • Vertical facing wood members, typically 1 3/4″ x 1 3/4″ that look like offset squares.
  • Traditionally used as a chopping surface and for food prep.
  • This construction is ideal because the fibers of the wood actually cradle your knife blade and repair itself at the same time.

  • Available in natural color only; no staining.
  • These are also available as “point to point” glue up, giving a checkerboard effect.
