Customize Your Board

All cutting boards have the option to add juice grooves, juice trays, handles and rubber feet. Below is a description of all the options

Juice Groove and Tray

Juice grooves and trays are available as an added option. These options are typically added for a board that will be used for carving meet, allowing the juices to flow into the grooves. This prevents meat juices from spilling off of the board.  A juice tray can also be added to catch excessive amounts of juice when carving larger roasts.

Handles and Rubber Feet

Typically handles come in one of two ways on cutting boards. Center carved handles, witch allow for both sides of the board to be utilized. And bottom carved handles for use in larger and heavier boards.

Rubber feet are typically added to boards that have bottom carved handles. Rubber feet allow for better air flow around the board when air drying. The feet also add a level of "softer feel" to the board when cutting and chopping.

🧑‍🍳 Choosing the Right Board for You

  • Go for face grain if you mostly slice or serve, love beautiful grain patterns, and prefer something lightweight and affordable.

  • Pick edge grain for everyday kitchen prep—light chopping, medium-duty use. It offers a great balance of performance, maintenance, and cost.

  • Opt for end grain if you (or a chef in your life) chop heavily—cleavers, meats, vegetables—and want to protect your knife edges long term, without minding the extra care and investment.
