The ample size of this 14×24 walnut wood butcher block is designed to be a showstopper! The gorgeous characteristics of walnut are really showcased with the structure of this board. It’s 2” thickness makes it ideal for daily use as it is not only beautiful and high-quality but durable and shock absorbent likewise.
Walnut’s swirling fine grain pattern makes it not only beautiful but incredibly sturdy as well. 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 actually hardens even further over time which means that walnut wood only gets better with age. It also means that you can rest assured that your butcher block is able to withstand the test of time and potential water or fall damage without breaking, cracking, chipping, drying out, or warping in the meantime.
On top of this, walnut wood is also self healing which is perfect for butcher blocks and cutting boards specifically. Butcher blocks are designed for the serious chef who wants a wood cutting board that will last forever. With cheaper wood, plastic, or marble cutting boards and blocks, deep grooves tend to form on the surface which trap food particles and contaminate food. However, with walnut, these grooves repair themselves which means no foodborne illnesses or food poisoning ever occurs.
Walnut wood is also incredibly eco-friendly and fairly priced likewise. In order to grow walnut wood, it takes very little overhead cost and this wood can be used for all kinds of industries. It can even be used in place of other woods that are less sustainable. This makes our cutting boards and butcher blocks not just stunning and durable but cost-effective and highly sustainable likewise.
Add handles to this board and you’ve got one serious kitchen tool that will keep up with you for a lifetime!

AWESOME!!! amazing quality! Friendly and personable in dealing with ordering custom made cutting boards. The initial engraving looks fabulous. We are very happy with the time frame. James worked hard to get our gifts shipped by Christmas. I would recommend him and his company to anyone!

I ordered a custom cutting board as an anniversary gift for my partner. The final product was absolutely beautiful. I’ve never seen a cutting board made with such quality and care. They were willing to work within my budget. I’d recommend this anyone looking for a special, signature piece that will last them a lifetime.

Absolutely fantastic job with a cutting board I had made for my boyfriend as a surprise present. It was a difficult project requiring precision as it had to fit into a very specific pull-out slot in a 1950s home.
They very flexible and responsive throughout the entire project. He took each of my requests to heart – even when I requested we cut the board down a little to ensure it was a perfect fit. I couldn’t have been happier with the end result. My boyfriend absolutely loved it and it fit perfectly with the design of his home.
I strongly recommend selecting Mahogany House Woodworks for your next custom wood project – you won’t regret it! Promise!

Ordered two custom boards this year as Christmas presents. They are beautiful! Solid and of the highest quality. They will be treasured for years to come (hopefully!). Thank you for the great service and attention to detail.

What a great experience. I found beautiful wood cutting boards on MHW web site and went to order two of them. The shipping was way off so I called them. The owner James called me back and immediately corrected the problem, took my order over the phone and went to work making my awesome cutting boards. He is a small operation doing big things. It is so nice to do business with a mom and pop shop who go the extra mile for their customers. Big box stores cannot compete with James quality, price and service. Not to mention I have never seen anything as beautiful as what MHW creates.

My son was thrilled with the custom product that arrived in record time in time for the holidays! Thank you for your personalized service.
