Cutting Boards

---

   End grain is made from end pieces of wood.  While these types of wood cutting board are a bit more expensive, some people deem it worthy, as it is better for the knives. End grain cutting boards have a “self-healing” factor, as the fibers close up after they have been cut by the knife. 

 Face grain shows some of the most beauty of wood, but is also the most susceptible to damage. 

   Edge grain is a compromise of end/edge grain. You can get the beauty of the grain while also maintaining decent durability . These cutting board are made from parallel pieces of wood that have been fused together.  Edge grain cutting boards are recognized for their durability and lower price, but they tend to dull your knives faster than end grain cutting boards.
