This beautiful 20×24 cherry wood cutting board will fit great in your kitchen and performs well! Each of our bespoke 2” thick cutting boards are made with the ultimate precision and grace to offer a sense of style and functionality combined. These perfectly thick and sturdy boards are great for both professional restaurant settings and home kitchens as well as they can handle daily use, potential water or fall damage, and knife scores without cracking, warping, or chipping.
Cherry is also a very warm wood that will darken a bit as it gets more seasoned. This is why your cutting board will usually arrive in a beautiful salmon color and then darken for years after until it reaches a wonderful rich red color. On top of this, as your board matures and darkens, it will also continue to harden and actually self heal making it a great choice for cutting boards and butcher blocks specifically.
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 one of the strongest woods on the market when fully mature and the hardening process doesn’t even stop after it is cut, produced, and used in projects. Not to mention the fact that cherry wood’s self-healing qualities make it ideal for cutting boards as well as it repairs any knife scores made throughout the years to avoid rancid-smelling cutting boards, foodborne illnesses, and food contamination caused by trapped food particles.
On top of its durability and high quality, cherry wood is also incredibly sustainable and cost-effective. According to How Stuff Works, “Black cherry trees are one of several species being planted to rehabilitate disturbed areas in coal mining states. Year-old seedlings are planted to reclaim old surface mines and re-establish viable forest communities.”
With this being said, not only is cherry wood easy to manufacture and has little overhead but it is also helping our environment in more ways than one and functioning as a beautiful and long lasting wood material perfect for cutting boards and butcher blocks combined.
