Larch end grain cutting board
Our lumberjack board made of conifer wood
The 🌲 larch is a great wood for end grain boards. Due to the pronounced annual rings, the board looks very lively. A real Lumberjack board. Larch wood is also a real germ killer. Due to the natural tannins in the wood, the larch has antibacterial properties - perfect for cutting boards. The production of end grain boards is more complex than with classic kitchen boards. The individual cubes or rectangles are put together in such a way that the annual rings of the tree 🌳 are visible from above. This creates playful Mosaic pattern.
Please note: The final pattern is created more or less randomly during the production process, so there may be differences in the color and shape of the end grain pattern (see product photos).

More info
Reddish, robust, rustic.
The heartwood of the larch is characterized by its reddish-brown color, which can be more or less intense and darkens to brownish. The dark annual rings in the larch wood form a contrasting structure. Larch wood is one of the harder and heavier conifers, is robust and weather-resistant and is the traditional alpine wood par excellence. This means that it naturally has its own rustic flair. You can find all the information about larch wood here in our tree portrait:

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.

Hello Holz-Liebling-Team,
The cutting board has only been in use for a short time. It meets our expectations and the delivery promise. We were able to compensate for the slight warping (approx. 0.5mm) by using a stainless steel disc under a rubber buffer foot.
If the utility value and handling of the cutting board remain the same, we will be very satisfied.
Best regards

I really like the larch end grain cutting board, I was just a little sad or disappointed that the piece is only 38.5 cm wide instead of 40 cm. I think that is a somewhat large deviation from the nominal dimensions in the offer. I still think the actual length of 59.5 cm is acceptable. The thickness is measured at 40 mm, accurate to the millimeter.

A wonderful piece. The perfect board to pair with Japanese knives.

Das Brett ist einfach wunderschön und trotz der Größe (60×40) gut zu handhaben. Die Qualtität? Besser geht es nicht. Das Brett ist jeden Cent wert. Ich hatte mich für die Multistopper entschieden. Ein guter Entschluss, da das Brett nun wunderbar schlicht daher kommt – ohne Griffmulden oder Saftrinne, aber dennoch gut hoch zu nehmen ist. Toll auch, dass beide Seiten nutzbar sind.

Das Lärchenstirnholzbrett ist ein Traum solidester und sauberster Handarbeit. Das im Vergleich etwas weichere Lärchenholz schont die Messer – man hört und spürt den Unterschied beim schneiden. Ich kann dieses Material jedem, der gerne mit scharfen Küchenmessern hantiert nur wärmenstens empfehlen, es steigert definitiv den Spaß.

Material, Muster/ Maserung, Funktionalität sind top. Das Brett kam leicht verzogen (wackelt ein wenig auf meiner planen Arbeitsfläche) bei mir an. Zudem wurden vermutlich zwei/ drei Ölflecken nicht richtig verrieben/ eingerieben. Dadurch ist eine leichte Erhebung auf der Oberfläche spürbar. Mich stören diese beiden Kleinigkeiten nicht. Zudem lassen sie sich recht zügig und ohne großen Aufwand beheben. Das Produkt ist aus Holz und ein Naturprodukt „arbeitet“ nun mal. Es bedarf natürlich auch einer entsprechenden Pflege des Brettes. Beherzigt man diese, dann hat man wohl ewig was von einem Brett dieser Art. Auch ist es Handarbeit und für mich somit eine besonderes Assessoire in meiner Küche. Einzigartig so zu sagen. Daher kann ich die Produkte, speziell die aus Lärche, von Holz-Liebling sehr empfehlen.
Vielen Dank an das Holz-Liebling Team für das schöne und sehr gebräuchliche Schneidebrett. Macht weiter so!👍🏼
PS: Das Lärchenholz schmeichelt den Schneiden meiner Damastmesser sehr. Das Holz ist nicht zu hart und auch nicht zu weich. Für mich und meine Messer die perfekte Wahl. So macht schnibbeln Spaß!👍🏼🔪🪵👨🏻🍳
