Alaskan Yellow Cedar - End Grain - Reversible 24"L x 18"W x 2.25"T Cutting/Carving/Chopping/Serving Board

Bring a beautiful and functional natural wood surface to your kitchen.  
Professional grade and of true heirloom quality, all of our end-grain boards will be a long-lasting addition to your home kitchen. 

Made exclusively of Alaskan Yellow Cedar (Callitropsis nootkatensis) a wood that has been historically embroiled in controversy with botanical experts over the course of the last two centuries, having its genus reclassified on six different occasions.

Despite its relatively lighter weight and density, it is a very durable and rather versatile species suitable for a wide variety of different applications both indoor and outdoor - making it a very suitable and beautiful choice of material for a kitchen cutting and serving board.

BoisBloc's reversible cutting/carving/chopping/serving boards ALWAYS feature end-grain butcher block construction.  The more durable self-healing end-grain butcher block construction yields a stable, solid cutting surface that is kinder to knives' sharp edges - making them a popular choice for chefs and cooks that rely on sharp knives for speed and accuracy in their profession.

Double Duty:  More than a cutting, carving, or chopping board, these elegant boards make ideal serving platters for all social gatherings. Cheeseboard, charcuterie board, breadboard, dessert board, etc.

Reversible: 

Flat on one side and routed with a generously, deep juice groove on the other side,  Finger grips for lifting have been routed into the 1.75" thick walls on both short ends. Soft rubber feet are provided (easy peel and stick application) to elevate your board from wet surfaces and provide stability for cutting tasks.

At 24" x 18" x 2.25" Thick - and weighing approximately 28 pounds - Our largest end-grain board is an island of its own.  For entertaining and serving at any scale this reversible surface will be the centerpiece at any gathering.

Our master woodworkers insist on using only the highest-grade lumbers sourced from renewable, responsible, sustainable sources. They slowly kiln-dry the rough-sawn boards till they reach optimum humidity/dryness levels for optimal glue-up, guaranteeing long-term structural stability of the end product.   

Board selection is not random, our craftsmen diligently select and group boards by a variety of characteristics including color, tone, and graining.  Wood grain direction is a key characteristic taken into account as it will influence the stability of the bloc.  Only non-toxic, solvent-free, FDA-approved for indirect food contact wood glue is used through the glue-up process.  After the final sizing and routing of all outside edges, the finger grips and the juice groove are artfully added to each board.  Each board is then stewarded through the many, many stages of sanding and surface planing.  End grain is notoriously difficult to sand compared to sanding edge grain. Achieving the desired smoothness is a time-consuming and laborious process.  Once ultimate smoothness has been achieved, each board is conditioned and sealed with a mineral oil and beeswax treatment, arriving at your door pre-seasoned and ready to use!
