{"product_id":"cutting-board-end-grain-butcher-block-12-13-2","title":"Cutting Board End-Grain Butcher Block 12×13×2","description":"The Cutting Board End-Grain Butcher Block is a premium, high-performance kitchen essential designed for cooks who want exceptional durability, knife friendliness, and elevated craftsmanship. Handcrafted in our New York studio, this 12\" × 13\" × 2\" butcher block blends precision engineering with beautiful, functional design, making it a standout tool for both home chefs and professionals.\n\nEnd-grain construction is the gold standard for butcher blocks. Instead of cutting across the grain, the knife meets the wood fibers vertically—allowing the blade to pass between the fibers rather than severing them. This protects your knives, reduces visible wear, and gives the block its signature self-healing quality. The result is a cutting surface that remains durable, forgiving, and gentle on your blades even with heavy daily use.\n\nEach butcher block is made from solid, kiln-dried American hardwoods chosen for stability, food safety, and long-term strength. The natural antimicrobial properties of hardwood and the thickness of the end-grain build make this board ideal for chopping vegetables, slicing meats, tenderizing proteins, and handling all levels of kitchen prep. Finished with our food-safe oil and wax blend, the board showcases a distinct mosaic of end-grain patterns—making every piece visually unique.\n\nThis butcher block is substantial, beautiful, and designed to anchor your kitchen counter while performing flawlessly year after year.\n\nKey Features\n\nHandcrafted end-grain butcher block made in New York\n\n12\" × 13\" × 2\" compact professional-grade format\n\nEnd-grain construction for exceptional durability and knife friendliness\n\nNaturally antimicrobial hardwood surface for safe daily use\n\nDistinctive visual pattern unique to each block\n\nThick, stable build ideal for heavy chopping and high-impact prep\n\nFood-safe oil and wax finish to protect and enhance the wood\n\nPremium giftable item with strong retail performance\n\nCare Instructions\n\nClean with a damp cloth; mild soap as needed\n\nNever soak or put in the dishwasher\n\nDry thoroughly before storing\n\nCondition regularly with food-safe mineral oil or board butter\n\nAvoid direct sunlight and temperature extremes\n\nNatural Wood Disclaimer\n\nEach end-grain butcher block is made from real American hardwood.
