This 20×24 cherry end grain, or butcher block wood cutting board is built like your grandma’s thanksgiving turkey- pretty and made with love! The 2” thickness of our cherry end grain wood butcher blocks makes them perfectly durable, shock absorbent, and long-lasting. This guarantees an impressive lifespan from all of our butcher blocks both for home cooks and professional chefs alike.
Cherry has a very warm and natural glow that will darken and season with each use. This means that your beautiful butcher block will only continue to become richer in tone with time and will also harden further with age as well. That’s why it is considered one of the best woods for hardwood flooring, guitar bodies, gun stocks, car interiors, drum sets, furniture, cabinetry, furniture, countertops, veneers, and other handmade items including, of course, cutting boards and butcher blocks.
Cherry wood has a Janka hardness rating between 950 lbf (4,200 N) and 995 lbf (4,430 N) depending on whether it is black or brazilian cherry. This makes it naturally strong and durable which is why it functions as a great cutting board material. Similarly, cherry’s end grain pattern also keeps your knife stable as it cuts with the direction of the wood fibers. This is exactly what helps these butcher blocks last for years with daily use without cracking, warping, drying out, or chipping in the process.
The self healing aspect of cherry is also highly valuable when it comes to butcher blocks since lesser wood, plastic, and marble cutting boards tend to acquire knife scores on their surface that trap food particles and contaminate food. With cherry, these score marks self heal and thus, food poisoning and foodborne illness are no longer a concern for both professional chefs and home cooks alike.
To top it all off, cherry wood also happens to be eco-friendly and fairly priced as well. Not only can cherry wood be used in place of less sustainable materials but it is also easy to grow and fast-growing as well meaning it takes far less resources to produce. This means this material isn’t just beautiful and durable but green, long-lasting, and priced accordingly.
All dimensions are approximate sizes. It is best to work with the natural characteristics of the wood first and the dimensions second.
