Great question!

End Grain (The Butcher Block)

• Look: Distinctive "checkerboard" or mosaic pattern.
• Best For: Heavy-duty chopping, mincing, and professional daily use.
• Pros: Keeps knives sharper longer; "self-healing" surface hides cut marks; extremely durable.
• Maintenance: Requires more frequent oiling to prevent drying out.

Edge Grain (The Classic Board)

• Look: Long, continuous grain lines (classic "plank" look).
• Best For: Slicing, serving, and general kitchen prep.
• Pros: Lower maintenance (requires less oil); harder surface; often more affordable due to less labor-intensive construction.
• Maintenance: Oil occasionally.

Wood bowls and boards are relatively low maintenance. Take a look at our "Care" page for all the info you need.

I make a variety of sizes, take a look at my bowl sizing guide for more info.
