We offer three main types of cutting boards:
**Face Grain**
- **Pros:** Easy to build, showcases the most beautiful side of the grain, and is the most affordable option.
- **Cons:** Dulls knives quickly, shows knife marks easily, and is typically limited to 3/4" thickness or less.
**Edge Grain**
- **Pros:** Allows for unique designs by joining multiple wood species, and can be made in various thicknesses (usually 1" to 2").
- **Cons:** Can still dull knives, more complex to build, and shows some knife marks over time.
**End Grain**
- **Pros:** Preferred by chefs, features unique designs, and is worth the investment for daily use. The grain orientation dulls knives slower than other types.
- **Cons:** Time-consuming to make, requires more material, and is more expensive but ideal for frequent use.
