Product Details
-
Unlike flat or edge grain boards, end grain exposes the cross-section of the wood fibers, allowing knife blades to slip between the grain rather than cut across it. The result is a board that's dramatically gentler on your knives, self-healing over time, and extraordinarily durable under daily use.

Tigerwood is a Central and South American hardwood that earns its name the moment you lay eyes on it. Deep reddish-browns, burnt oranges, and dramatic dark striping come together in a pattern that's bold, warm, and completely natural. On an end grain board, the cross-section of all those vivid stripes creates a stunning mosaic effect — like a piece of art that also happens to be the hardest-working thing in your kitchen.
Marble wood is an exotic hardwood native to the rainforests of northern South America, primarily Guyana and Suriname. It gets its name from the swirling, stone-like figure running through each board — deep chocolate and near-black streaks against a golden-brown base, no two pieces alike. Exceptionally hard and dense, it's prized for both its durability and unmistakable visual drama.

Hand wash only. Never submerge or put in a dishwasher.
Periodically (once every several weeks, depending upon the use and household conditions), apply an even coat of mineral oil to your board. apply with a rag, let is sit for at least 30 minutes, then wipe off.
If your board is in need of a complete refinishing, please contact me. I love refinishing boards, and I try and keep it as affordable as possible.

Your local hardware store should have both. Your local grocery or drug store may also have mineral oil.
There is always Amazon, and search cutting board oils and waxes. Do not substitute plant or animal oils, as over time it may start to mold and incur bacteria.
