In the world of woodworking, few creations are as functional and beautiful as end grain cutting boards. These culinary masterpieces not only serve as kitchen workhorses but also as pieces of art that grace your countertops. At Stedman Design in Lynnwood, WA, we've taken the art of woodworking to new heights by crafting custom end grain cutting boards from repurposed trees. Join us on a journey through the world of end grain cutting boards, their unique characteristics, and why Stedman Design is the destination for those seeking culinary elegance.
Welcome to Stedman Design, where craftsmanship and creativity converge to bring nature's beauty into your home. Our woodworking studio in Lynnwood, WA, is dedicated to producing exquisite pieces that showcase the inherent character of wood. Among our creations, our custom end grain cutting boards stand out as both functional kitchen tools and stunning pieces of art.
End grain cutting boards are distinct from other cutting boards due to their construction method. Unlike traditional cutting boards that have their grain running parallel to the board's surface, end grain boards are made by fusing together the cut ends of wood pieces. This results in a checkerboard-like pattern that is not only visually appealing but also highly functional. Here's why end grain cutting boards are a cut above the rest:
1. Durability
The end grain pattern creates a surface that is gentler on knives, reducing blade wear and tear. This durability ensures your cutting board will last for years.
2. Self-Healing
The unique structure of end grain boards allows the wood fibers to separate and then close up after the knife has passed through. This "self-healing" property helps maintain the board's integrity.
3. Aesthetics
End grain cutting boards are visually stunning, with their intricate patterns and rich, natural colors. They make for captivating kitchen décor.
4. Versatility
These boards are not limited to cutting; they also work well as serving platters, cheese boards, and presentation pieces for culinary delights.
