Why Use Wood?

Wood's porous nature makes it more sanitary than plastic and also lessens the chance of microplastics finding their way into your food. Please see our Care Tips for proper care and cleaning of your wooden cutting board.

While cleaning a plastic board may seem easier, any bacteria that survive in the deep grooves made by knife cuts in a plastic board can continue to grow. Investing in wooden cutting boards, especially end-grain ones, can be a smart choice. For starters, end-grain boards possess a self-healing quality as a result of the way the wood is cut. When a knife slices across the surface of an end-grain board, the upward-pointing wood fibers allow the blade to glide between them rather than cutting through. When the knife is lifted, the fibers naturally move back together, effectively "healing" the surface. This means that the board experiences less wear and tear over time, and your knife retains its sharpness for longer.

Our customers share with us how much joy they've brought to others by gifting our cutting boards and charcuterie boards for housewarmings, wedding showers, wedding gifts, birthday and holiday gifts. They've also been popular client appreciation gifts for high-end clients and luxurious treats for personal enjoyment. If you know someone who cherishes quality craftsmanship and the finer things in life - that unique individual who is hard to find a gift for - Joe's handmade, functional works of art are the perfect choice.
