Walnut end grain Cutting board – End grain
made of walnut in different versions
The queen 🔱 of cutting boards is the end grain cutting board. The production of end grain boards is more complex than that of classic kitchen boards. The wood is not cut lengthways to the trunk as usual, but across the trunk. The cut-up cubes or rectangles are then put together in such a way that the annual rings of the tree 🌳 are visible from above.
Please note: The final pattern is randomly created during the production process, so there may be differences in the color and shape of the end grain pattern (see product photos).

Why an end grain cutting board
More info
Noble, dark, mysterious.
The wood of the real walnut, also called walnut wood, is one of the finest types of wood in the world. But unlike mahogany or teak, walnut trees are also widespread in Europe. Walnuts impress with their very special, dark appearance and pleasant feel. A distinction is made between European and American walnut, with the American variety being slightly darker. You can find all information about walnut wood here in our tree portrait:

Questions & Answers - FAQ's
to our end grain cutting boards
The end grain cutting board tilts
It's not that bad! Usually the cutting board will straighten out very quickly. Thicker boards take a little longer, but they all straighten out eventually :-). Often, temperature differences during shipping and poor storage of the package are enough for the board to warp slightly. At the very latest, when it is on your kitchen counter and is wiped down with a damp cloth for the first time, the wood will start to work and will stretch itself out. So,... no big deal, wait a little and the problem will solve itself.
The cutting board is warped
No problem, because end grain cutting boards usually warp when they have only been used on one side. The wood starts to warp on one side and not on the other. The result is that the cutting board becomes crooked and bends. What can you do? Simply wipe the other side with a damp cloth and place it face down on the worktop. It is usually straight again the next day, otherwise just repeat.
A crack in the cutting board
That's not good, of course! Cracks can have several causes. Errors can occur both in production and in use, which can cause an end grain cutting board to crack. The biggest errors in use are too much moisture, sunlight, heat and too much tension due to one-sided use (so always wipe both sides with a damp cloth). If there is a manufacturing error, you are of course entitled to a full warranty. If there is a usage error, however, we can also offer you a straightforward solution and repair the board without any problems (split it open and re-glue it).
My cutting board is rough after first use
This phenomenon occurs almost exclusively with oak cutting boards. The surface of the oak has large pores and many small wood fibers and tends to become rough when it comes into contact with water. The smallest wood fibers absorb water and harden when they dry. This is why they stick out across the board and create a rough surface when touched. This is precisely why we water all oak products before we sand them one last time. Nevertheless, it can happen that the last wood fibers can still be felt when you next touch them.
The solution is: Lightly sand the wood with a small piece of 240-grit sandpaper and then lightly oil the surface. We recommend repeating this classic wood care regularly so that your new cutting board stays beautiful for a long time. You can see detailed instructions on how to make a scratched cutting board beautiful again in this video:
Which size is recommended?
That depends entirely on the requirements of the board. If you are looking for a cutting board that will have a permanent place on the kitchen counter, then it can be a little larger (and heavier). If, on the other hand, the cutting board is to be repeatedly put back in the drawer and carried back and forth, then it is better to choose a slightly smaller board (30x30cm, 40x30cm). Generally, the larger the cutting board, the thicker it should be. From a size of 50x30cm, we recommend the 4 cm thick version. Of course, the 2.5 cm thick version is also a good board, but you should then be particularly careful to avoid the following 5 mistakes (see next question).
The 5 most common mistakes when using an end grain cutting board
In this video we show you the 5 biggest mistakes when handling your end grain cutting board and how you can avoid them. Enjoy watching!
Do I need feet under the cutting board?
Not necessarily, but they can be beneficial. However, when deciding on Cutting board feet the possibility of using your cutting board from both sides. But: feet have the great advantage that your cutting board gets air from both sides and the wood can therefore work equally hard. This means that it warps less (severely/quickly/at all). You can also pick up the cutting board more easily because your fingertips fit under the board. Another advantage of non-slip cutting board feet is that they give your cutting board a secure footing when cutting.
Another very smart solution is the Multistopper® - it offers all the advantages of cutting board feet, but does not have to be attached to the wood. This gives you maximum flexibility and allows you to use both sides of your cutting board.
Do you also make special sizes?
Yes, making end grain cutting boards to a specific size is no problem for us. We can also produce individual board thicknesses or special combinations of wood types. Simply write to us and tell us what you want your cutting board to look like and we will calculate the cost for you.
What happens if my special size doesn't fit? Returns?
As with everything, special sizes cannot be returned, but customer satisfaction is what counts for us. We usually agree to cut the cutting board down to the next standard size and keep the difference. We will refund you the remaining amount.
I have a special custom order, do you also do that?
If you have a very special wish and are looking for a wood manufacturer that can implement your plan, then you have come to the right place. Write to us with your ideas and we will see if we can implement them. Many of our individual customer projects later became our standard products. This means that we are always open to new ideas.
Can I return the cutting board?
Yes, within 14 days, you have a regular cancellation option and can return the cutting board if it has not yet been used.
Who pays the return costs?
If the cutting board is in perfect condition and you still want to exchange or return it, you will have to pay the return shipping costs. However, if there is visible damage to the cutting board or something has broken during transport, we will of course cover the return shipping.
How long is the return period
If there is any transport damage, you should report the damage to us as soon as possible. Otherwise, you have a 14-day right of return.
Which type of wood is the best?
There is no general correct answer to this. But there are types of wood that are more or less suitable for making end grain cutting boards. All types of wood that we offer for sale are suitable. These are oak, cherry, walnut, birch, larch, ash and apple. Beech and maple are less suitable and we do not offer these for sale. By the way, here you can find a video about all our types of wood:
What is the hardest wood
The front side of the wood is generally very hard, but there are differences here too. A particularly hard type of wood is Beech, but this is not suitable for end grain. The oak is just below this and also has the best properties for a solid and robust end grain cutting board. In principle, however, any type of wood can be sanded down again if the cutting board no longer looks so nice and has cutting marks.
Is end grain good for my knives? (protects the blade?)
Yes, you could say that. The end grain doesn't damage the blade of your knife as much as it does with long grain wood. This is because you don't damage or saw the wood when you cut it, but rather split it. This is good for both the knife blade and the cutting board. However, it must also be mentioned that an end grain board is made up of many individual pieces glued together. The glue used is extremely hard and not very blade-friendly. So the devil is in the details.
What is the deal with tannic acid - antibacterial?
Oak wood in particular contains a high proportion of tannic acid. It is a natural substance that has a highly antibacterial effect. An absolute advantage of a wooden cutting board. The germicidal effect ensures that bacteria and germs practically die off on their own. We have summarized further information here:
https://www.holz-liebling.de/kleiner-holzratgeber-gerbsaeure/
Where does your wood for your cutting boards come from?
We source our wood from Germany and southern Europe. We make sure that we only buy our wood from FSC certified companies This ensures that our wood comes from environmentally friendly forestry operations and is processed under socially beneficial conditions.
Are the cutting boards delivered oiled?
Yes, we oil all our cutting boards with a food-safe and organic Linseed oil varnishThe linseed oil penetrates deep into the wood and closes the open pores. This provides natural wood protection that can be renewed again and again. All cutting boards are oiled two or three times.
How do I care for my cutting board?
If you are already asking yourself this question, you are already halfway to making sure your cutting board is doing well. Because wood care is the be-all and end-all for every cutting board. Here, too, we recommend using linseed oil, as it has protective properties and penetrates deep into the open pores of the wood. With occasional oiling, you will notice that your cutting board always looks fresh and strong. If it is a bit rough, fine sandpaper (180-240 grit) is enough to sand it lightly. Then apply a little oil and remove the excess oil after half an hour. Then let it dry well. IMPORTANT: Always oil both sides so that the cutting board does not warp.
Can I buy linseed oil from you?
ab 22,90€ ab 17,90€
Of course! The organic and food-safe linseed oil is perfect for the long-term care of cutting boards and all other solid wood pieces in your home. You can use a brush or a kitchen towel to apply it. Make sure that cotton cloths that have been soaked in linseed oil varnish are not crumpled and thrown away, as they can spontaneously ignite.
17,90€ – 16,50€ / l VAT included.
Can I use other oil?
Basically yes, but there are oils that can become rancid over time and smell unpleasant. Another point is the hardening of the oil. Only when it has hardened does it form a protective layer and the cutting board is protected from moisture penetrating. Of the above, linseed oil varnish offers the best properties. Nut oil or safflower oil is also suitable.
How is the cutting board shipped
We usually ship our cutting boards, like most of our Parcels with DPD and DHL. Only if you order several items from us and the final size is exceeded do we involve GLS or a shipping company. In 99% of cases, however, it is DPD or DHL.
Do you also ship outside of Germany?
Absolutely. We ship to every European country and beyond :-). If a country where shipping is possible is not listed in the shop, just let us know and we will add it to the system. Depending on the country, different flat-rate shipping costs apply. You can see what these are on the checkout page.
How long does it take to ship?
Generally, shipping times are shorter in summer than in winter :-). We update the delivery times depending on the order volume or resources and capacities in our factory. Production can take place within 2-5 days or, during the Christmas season, up to three weeks. If you are in a hurry, it is best to contact us before placing your order. Otherwise, the current delivery time is in the article itself under the delivery times.
Is shipping secure?
We have our own highly motivated shipping department. In other words, employees who are specially trained in packaging and who ship our solid wood products safely. That's why everything is safely packaged :-). If something does happen, we will of course take care of the settlement with the shipping service provider.

I have been wanting to buy a walnut end grain board for a while because of its beautiful appearance and the advantages of end grain compared to "normal" cutting boards. I hesitated a little because of the price, but am now very happy with my decision. I bought the 60x40cm version with a thickness of 5cm in order to have as large a work surface as possible, which is theoretically also suitable for working with dough. Even though there are special boards for this in the shop - they wouldn't be worth it for me because I work with dough too rarely.
I bought the board without the feet and instead with the multi-stoppers so that I can rotate the board and end up with two boards - everything works as I wanted it to. The multi-stoppers are really very slip-resistant.
For me, the only disadvantage is that the board is too big to clean under our standard sink with a brush and dish soap. So now I always use a fresh, damp microfiber cloth after use and wipe over the board - so far, that's worked very well. For all kinds of meat, I use a cutting board from Wüsthof, which I can also clean in the dishwasher - somehow I think the board is too good for that and it would be too much work to clean. With my previous boards, I also processed meat and then used surface disinfectant (Bacillol AF). It always worked without causing any damage, but I don't want to risk it with this board.
Before using it for the first time, I rubbed the board twice with linseed oil (normal cooking linseed oil) and left it to "dry". The board really absorbed the oil, I would definitely recommend oiling it again before "using it for the first time".

Hello, I received the walnut end grain board as a Christmas present. Is it already oiled and therefore ready to use, or do I have to oil it first?
Marco Hekler (store manager) –
Hello Ulf,
Yes, it has already been oiled twice. You can use it immediately. However, a virgin cutting board will benefit from an oil treatment or two.

The board had several small holes and a large branch. It had to be sent back and reworked. It has now been returned and the holes have been closed. Hopefully it will last. For more than €200, I was actually hoping that I would find a) solid wood and b) no damage to the wood (no branches and no holes, mainly in the core).

Very nice cutting board.
I have been looking for a large board made of walnut end grain for a long time. This one caught my eye. The price is relatively high, but it is justified given the circumstances (manufacturing on request, special requests, etc.).
However, one or two imperfections in the wood should be expected, as it is, after all, a natural product and handmade.
Much more important is that the cutting board itself has been processed in such a way that there is no warping in the wood. This is absolutely perfect here. The cutting board has the dimensions 50x40cm and when you put it on the worktop, absolutely nothing wobbles.
Therefore: Unreserved recommendation. I would gladly go again.
