Sidekick End Grain Cutting Board

To Be Honest

The cutting boards are beautiful! I proudly display them in my kitchen. But honestly I was used to plastic boards that were much less maintenance and handier to use. The oiling and waxing gets to be a pain but the wood does look better. The other negative is the sound and feeling of cutting into the product and if there is any “side” lean at the end of the downward stroke it screeches and vibrates the knife blade making you feel like your putting excessive side pressure on the blade edge-end of the knife. My old plastic board was much easier to wash off and stow as I never cut raw meat anyway.

A hard to find gem

We are so pleased to be elevating our food experience in our kitchen with this new 'end grain' cutting board. We have slowly been replacing older, worn or unhealthy type cooking vessels and tools with better quality choices and feel our current understanding of wood made cutting boards is a leap in the right direction. As with all things that are special it appears there will be a bit of a learning curve here to 'maintain' this special piece (oiling) but I look forward to this as part of the process and because it is so beautifully constructed I think the process will be enjoyable. So happy to know there are still creative artisans out in the world making quality items for consumers -- AND actually being a USA product is nothing short of wonderful as well. Thanks Boardsmith team members!
