STEP ONE
Choose a style
Face grain, single piece
Some people say simplicity is king and these chopping boards take that principle to heart. These are made out of a single board and you can get some really unique natural patterns and sometimes even a live edge.
Edge grain
These visually striking boards have long thin pieces of timber that can be arranged in many different ways. The best part is that these boards are resistant to the warping that can sometimes occur to single piece boards.
End grain
There’s a reason why most chefs choose end grain boards. The grain directions reduces visible cut marks and is the best option for preserving your knives. Many butchers blocks are end grain and can last a very long time with proper care and maintenance.
STEP TWO
