END GRAIN DURABILITY – Welton is an end grain constructed board. This construction type is known to be extremely durable, to withstand heavy duty chopping, and is highly desired for its 'self-healing' properties. Each knife cut goes between the wood fibers, rather than cutting through them. These fibers close back up after the knife exits, keeping your knife's edge sharper for longer. Finished safely. Free of BPA, phthalates, and formaldehyde. ALL-IN-ONE BOARD – We understand kitchen space is limited so that’s why we created a multipurpose board with two distinct sides designed to handle all your cooking, serving, and entertaining needs in one place. DEEP JUICE GROOVE – No more messy countertops from liquids running off your board. Our juice groove holds up to 4.5 oz of liquid to prevent water, juice, and grease from overflowing during meal prep and serving. Perfect for cutting up fruits, vegetables, and carving meats like brisket, roast, prime rib, etc. RUBBER FEET FOR STABILITY – Our 1.5 inch thick butcher block style board comes with removable rubber feet on both sides to provide air circulation and extra stability while chopping and slicing and the integrated finger grips make it easy to lift, flip or transfer from kitchen to table. HANDCRAFTED IN AMERICA – Crafted right here in the USA with our selection of sustainably harvested Black Walnut, which is considered by many to be the finest wood for a cutting board. When cared for correctly, with proper cleaning (hand wash only) and oiling at least every 3 weeks, this board will outlast most items in your kitchen. Made of rich and sturdy end grain Walnut, our Welton board is built to work and ready to handle your toughest tasks with ease. If things get messy, you can keep your counters dry with the built-in juice groove which can hold up to 4.5 oz of liquid. The other side is flat, ideal when you need an uninterrupted surface for serving finger foods and the like. Removable rubber feet are on both sides to keep even your most rigorous tasks in place. So, go ahead…slice, dice, mince, chop, and carve your heart out. End grain is the best surface for your knives. Wood fibers are facing up allowing each slice of your blade to go in between these fibers rather than through them. This keeps your blades sharper for longer. When cared for correctly, with proper cleaning (hand wash only) and oiling every 3 weeks, this board will outlast most items in your kitchen.
