Why an end grain cutting board
More info
Classic, robust, legendary.
For us at Holz-Liebling, oak is simply the classic among the woods. Oak wood is not without reason considered the most valuable domestic wood. We manufacture our products only from high-quality, European oak wood which we two quality levels divide. Oak wood is very hard, difficult and robust and yet noble in its appearance. This makes our products extremely stable and durableEverything else you need to know about oak wood can be found in this wood portrait.

Our birch wood products come exclusively from birch trees in German forests. Birch grows relatively quickly compared to other deciduous trees, but more slowly than conifers, and is therefore very stable and durable. Birch wood is very dense and is a medium to heavy type of wood, which is why it can definitely be described as robust. The colors are mostly in the very light spectrum and range from reddish white, yellowish white to light brown. The surface has a slightly silky sheen. The grain is rather calm, has no sapwood, but clearly defined annual rings.

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.

End grain / end grain or also head wood refers to a Type of processing of wood. The biggest difference is in the manufacturing process. The wood is not cut lengthwise to the trunk as usual, but cut crosswiseThe cubes/strips are then arranged so that the annual rings are visible from above.
Cutting boards are particularly suitable for this type of cutting, as Cuts in the board close yourselfThe surface is extremely hard and still looks good even after years of use.

Questions & Answers - FAQ's
to our end grain cutting boards
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.
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.
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).
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:
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).
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, within 14 days, you have a regular cancellation option and can return the cutting board if it has not yet been used.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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/
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Just beautiful!

The board is simply beautiful, I am delighted and it is really fun to work with it - or just to look at it in the kitchen. I struggled with myself for a long time and then treated myself to it - and I do not regret the decision at all. I opted for the 5cm thickness because the working height when cutting is better for my back - the plan worked out perfectly. My board is around 32.5x38.8 centimeters instead of 30x40, which is fine for me (and even preferable) for a wooden work. If there is to be any real criticism, it would be that the recessed grips are not in the middle but slightly raised (top-bottom; as if the machine had been set for a 4cm board) and not sanded down cleanly. And maybe that it was still very thirsty when delivered and urgently needed the first two oilings. But then the anticipation won out and it was used. But it looks like he'll need at least one or two more rounds of care very soon.
But, as I said: A really beautiful piece of craftsmanship. I hope it will stay with me for a long time. Thank you, keep up the good work!

We are very happy with our end grain wood cutting board. After consulting Holz-Liebling by phone, we decided on the
Birch, oak & walnut end grain cutting board – 50cm x 40cm, as well as the cutting board holder made of solid wood – oak / walnut, 40 mm.
The colors are not as intense as in the pictures, but we don't think that's a bad thing. The cutting board feels good
and it is very easy to work on. We are considering ordering a slightly smaller version, we will have to wait and see.

It looks very nice! Unfortunately it is not completely flat and therefore wobbles!
Marco Hekler (store manager) –
Hello Martin,
I'm glad you like the cutting board :-).
The tipping will go away on its own.
Especially when the cutting board is exposed to different temperatures and humidity levels between the workshop, transport and your kitchen, the wood moves.
Simply place it on the kitchen counter. You will notice that it quickly becomes flat.
Best regards
Mark
