What Type of Board Should I buy?
End Grain: The gold standard of cutting boards. These boards prolong the longevity of both the board, and your knife. The wood grain is oriented in such a way that the board is self-healing to a large extent, and the grain doesn’t dull your knife nearly as quickly as long grain or bamboo cutting boards. These boards do take about double the time to make, hence their price premium.
I recommend these boards to anyone who needs regular, daily or near-daily use out of their boards, or for boards that will see heavy cutting such as carving a roast.
Long Grain/Edge Grain: These boards are of simpler construction, using the direction of wood grain to its advantage in making. These boards are also ideal for engraving, or for boards needing a funky or cool design! Cutting boards or pieces that don’t see heavy cutting or boards that are intended for periodic use are the best candidates for long grain.
I recommend these boards to anyone wanting an engraved/customized piece, or if you’re shopping for a cost-effective way of replacing your plastic cutting board.
