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:

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. 

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.
