Walnut End-grain Chopping Board

Walnut End-Grain Board

Solid end-grain walnut board, made in our workshop in Niseko.

Made using American black walnut and finished in a food-safe mineral oil.

Each board is glued, flattened and finished in the workshop, then oiled and left to cure before it leaves the bench. The result is a heavy, stable piece that sits solidly on the counter and is comfortable to use every day.

Why end-grain boards last

End-grain boards are built with the wood fibres standing upright, like a bundle of straws. The surface is naturally resilient, wears slowly in daily use and can be refinished when required. Compared with long-grain boards, they tend to show fewer deep marks over time and stay in service for many years.

Combined with walnut, a dense, durable hardwood with natural colour variation. This makes a board that will serve for decades with basic care.

Use & care

Wipe clean with a damp cloth after use.

Avoid leaving the board standing in water.

Re-oil occasionally when the surface looks dry.

Do not put in the dishwasher.

Use both sides over time to keep it drying evenly. The boards are reversible.

With normal use and simple maintenance this board will develop a quiet patina, not wear out.
