Custom, Made-To-Order Ash Butcher buy Block. Design Your Own Endgrain Board!

Design your very own Endgrain Butcher's Block from beautiful, locally sourced Ash Wood!

This item has a number of options that you can choose from, to ensure that your endgrain butcher's block has been designed to your exact specifications. You'll get everything that you want, and nothing that you don't. Here are a few (but not all of) the options that you can choose from: no-slip feet/bumpers, several different size/dimensional options, and cut-out handles in the block's side (for easy lifting/carrying).

Genuine butcher's blocks are made exclusively from endgrain wood. Here are a few reasons why endgrain cutting boards & blocks are so desirable:

~ The grain patterns of the cutting surface are oriented in a way that greatly reduces the wear & tear on the cutlery your use.
~ The same patterns allow the block to seal the grain back up after use, effectively healing itself in the process. This of course results in a much longer lasting cutting surface than edge or top-grain boards. ads to long-lasting use.
~ The cutting surface will not show many knife marks, and it will take a while before it shows any at all. Very much in the same way that the knife will not show much wear from the impact of cutting on the block's surface. The block and the cutlery work together when you use an endgrain block. In turn, they both benefit.

This block will quite literally last you a lifetime. They also make great gifts for birthdays, housewarming parties, anniversaries, weddings, Christmas and any other holiday that calls for gift giving. Another benefit that is specific to the classic butcher's block, is that traditionally, they are usually made using domestic hardwoods. We source all of our domestic hardwoods from local, family owned businesses that operate in a sustainable & ethical fashion. This means that when you buy one of our handcrafted pieces, you are supporting local businesses that sincerely strive to operate ethically, and utilize sustainable harvesting practices.

This piece will quite literally last you, or buy whomever it is gifted to, a lifetime. Butcher's blocks and cutting boards make fantastic gifts for birthdays, housewarming parties, anniversaries, weddings, Christmas and any other holiday that one could think of.

As with all of our end-grain boards, this block was sanded all the way up to 400 grit, and finished with Boos food-grade cutting board oil. After soaking in oil for several hours, the excess is wiped off gently, and the board is coated thoroughly with Boos board lock cream, to seal in the moisture and natural anti-microbial agents produced by the wood.

~ We do not use paints, dyes or stains in any of our products, ever. This butcher's block is no exception.
