This walnut wood cutting board is a great size for a smaller kitchen with smaller countertops. I find it has the perfect balance of function and style. Each of our 2” thick butcher blocks are not just visually appealing but able to handle daily use without falling apart in the slightest. 

Walnut’s swirling fine grain pattern makes it not only beautiful but incredibly sturdy as well. It also keeps your knife stable as it cuts with the direction of the wood fibers. That is why this wood is used most commonly for cabinetry, countertops, veneers, car interiors, guitar bodies, gun stocks, hardwood flooring, furniture, construction, and countless other projects including art and handmade items. 

On the Janka hardness scale, Walnut ranks 1,010 lbf or 1,010 Janka. With this said, it is harder than cherry wood but not quite as hard as maple wood. In fact, walnut wood hardens even further with age which means that your board will only get better over time and not worse. It also means that your board will be able to withstand daily use and potential fall or water damage without bending, chipping, warping, cracking, or drying out for years to come. 

Furthermore, walnut wood is also self-healing which makes it ideal for cutting boards as it is far safer than cheaper wood, plastic, or marble boards out there. While these boards are susceptible to deep grooves in their surface over time which trap food particles and contaminate food, walnut wood repairs these grooves thus eliminating this risk altogether. Therefore, no food poisoning or foodborne illness ever occurs. 

Walnut wood is also sustainable and cost-effective as well. This particular board with the end grain build will last forever. The reason for this is not only walnut wood’s durability but the fact that it can be produced and used for countless projects with ease. It can even be used in place of less sustainable woods as well. This makes our blocks not just high-quality but long-lasting and eco-friendly as well. 

All dimensions are approximate sizes. It is best to work with the natural characteristics of the wood first and the dimensions second.

Step 1: Choosing Your Cutting Board or Butcher Block.

We offer many add-ons to help make your cutting board easier to store, more useful, as well as personalization with our custom engraving. Once you choose your product and place your order, we’ll begin building your board soon after.


Step 2: Assembly of Your Cutting Board

Each cutting board is handmade to ensure the utmost level of quality and craftsmanship. We use beautiful and very durable wood blends, all up to 2” thick. During our build process, we pay attention to the finest details, which truly make our boards stand out from other brands, as well as generic boards you find elsewhere.

If you ordered accessories or engraving, we will next install these features after the board has been constructed, followed by the staining and sealing process.


Step 3: Packaging & Prepare for Shipping

Each cutting board is securely packaged to prevent damage during shipping. We use both UPS & Fedex shipping methods, and your cutting board will arrive with instructions on proper usage.


Step 4: Enjoy Your Cutting Board!

Your cutting board/block will truly brighten up any kitchen. Prepare each meal knowing that you’ve chosen a high-quality product that will last many years.
