Our most popular product is made of a single block of hard maple, also known as rock maple or sugar maple. Hard maple is widely considered to be the best North American wood for cutting boards, since the grain is hard and fine, resisting gouges and the absorption of liquids or food scraps.
While some competitors use lumber scraps glued together, we cut our boards form solid slabs of wood right in our Maryland workshops
These medium-sized boards measure about 10 inches by 13 inches (26 cm by 33 cm) and weigh about 4½ to 5½ pounds, depending on the thickness. (Feel free to request to thinner boards, more than an inch thick, or the thicker boards, closer to two inches thick, in the order comments when checking out).
Our hard maple comes from a sustainably certified mill that dries the lumber in western Pennsylvnia. The lumber is flattened and sanded, and we trim and put the finishing touches on by hand—including organic raw linseed oil and our own board balm, an organic mixture of plant-based carnauba wax and linseed oil that comes free with every purchase. (Customers may request unfinished boards in the order notes when checking out, in which case we'll skip the complimentary board balm.)
