ONBOARD: Handcrafted Vermont Cutting Boards Bringing Beauty and Utility to Every Kitchen

Why End Grain

End grain cutting boards are the premier choice for serious chefs and culinary professionals due to their superior durability, self-healing properties, and knife-friendly surface. Unlike edge or face grain boards, the wood fibers in end grain boards are oriented vertically, allowing the blade to slide between the fibers rather than severing them—preserving both the cutting surface and the knife edge. This structure not only extends the life of the board but also offers a more hygienic surface, as the fibers naturally close after each cut. For those seeking a high-performance, long-lasting, and elegant addition to their kitchen, end grain boards represent the gold standard.
