More durable than regular cutting boards, these end grain boards look beautiful on your counter top. The end grain is a much harder surface and has a greater tolerance for the chopping motion. These boards give a truly resistant cutting surface while being kind to the blade's sharp edge. Instead of crushing against the wood fibers, the blade goes between them, much like cutting into a firm brush. The individual boards of wood are arranged so that the grain of the wood runs from top to bottom, so that the cutting surface is actually the end of many individual pieces of hardwood. With the grain aligned in this manner, when the knife strikes the surface during cutting, the grain of the wood actually separates and then closes when the knife is removed. This accounts for the self healing aspect of the end grain surface. The wood itself is not cut, but instead you are cutting between the fibers. This board measures 6 1/2" x 19 1/2" and has rubber non-slip feet on the bottom.
