Cutting Boards

Perhaps the most popular cutting board material, a wood cutting board is a classic surface for many kitchen tasks. Wood cutting boards come in end grain wood and edge grain wood, each serving different purposes. While wood is absorbent, it also has antibacterial qualities that reduce the potential for food contamination. Additionally, wooden boards can be resurfaced and used for a long time, making them a worthwhile investment. However, a wood cutting board requires more care and maintenance than any other material, so carefully follow proper procedures to keep your cutting board in good condition.

Construction

The two main types of wood cutting board construction are end grain and edge grain. Both are beautiful and durable, but have different properties and techniques used to make them.
