You’ve never seen a cutting board light up a kitchen like this one.
This edge-grain cutting board is handcrafted from domestic cherry and exotic padauk — a pairing that produces one of the most visually striking color contrasts in woodworking. The honey-warm cherry body is flanked by two vivid reddish-orange padauk accent strips that deepen and enrich with age and oil. Chamfered edges, a substantial 1″ thickness, and a laser-engraved workshop badge complete the package.
This isn’t just a tool. It’s something people will ask about.
What Makes This Board:
Cherry + padauk combination — cherry’s warm golden tones paired with padauk’s deep reddish-orange create a natural contrast that’s bold, beautiful, and completely unique to each board
Padauk is a hardwood accent worth knowing — prized by woodworkers worldwide for its vibrant color, density, and the way it deepens to a rich auburn over time
Edge-grain construction — the ideal cutting surface: tough enough for daily use, gentle on knife edges, and more resistant to warping than face-grain boards
Generous 8¾” × 12½” surface — wide enough for serious prep work, compact enough for everyday counter use
1″ thick — heavy and stable, stays put while you work
Chamfered perimeter edges — beveled on all four sides for a refined, finished look and comfortable lift
Laser-engraved Gentle Grain Workshop badge — a subtle mark of craftsmanship right on the board
Food-safe finish — seals the wood and enhances the natural color contrast
Handmade in New Jersey — every board is unique; grain character and color variation are part of what makes yours one of a kind
Perfect For:
Everyday food prep, bread and cheese slicing, charcuterie serving, kitchen gifts, housewarming gifts, wedding gifts, anniversary gifts, birthday gifts for cooks and foodies, and anyone who wants a cutting board that looks like it belongs in a design magazine.
Grows More Beautiful Over Time:
Padauk is known for maturing into a deeper, richer auburn tone as it’s exposed to light and oil — meaning this board actually gets better looking with use.
Care Instructions:
Hand wash only — never dishwasher or prolonged soaking. Dry immediately after washing.
Handmade in our South Plainfield, New Jersey workshop.
In stock
Every piece is handmade from natural wood. Grain, color and character vary from piece to piece, so the piece you receive may differ slightly from the photos shown.
Black walnut, cherry and hard maple, accented with exotic woods like purpleheart, padauk and wenge. Every board is cut from solid hardwood, never veneer or plywood, and I match the grain so the pieces sit well together.
Sanded through multiple grits until the surface is smooth, then finished with food-safe oils and waxes that bring out the grain. No lacquer and nothing toxic, so it is safe for food and easy to refresh.
Each piece is milled, glued up, shaped and finished by hand in my South Plainfield, NJ workshop. Nothing comes off a production line, so no two are exactly alike.
If a glue joint fails or the workmanship does not hold up under normal use within 5 years, I will repair it. Read the guarantee.
Some photos may use AI to enhance the background; the products are real and made by me. Original photos are available on request.
Cherry meets its match. This handcrafted edge-grain cutting board pairs the warm honey tones of cherry with two bold padauk accent strips — one of woodworking’s most eye-catching color combinations. At 8¾” × 12½” × 1″, it’s a serious prep board that earns compliments every time it comes out of the cabinet. Finished with a laser-engraved Gentle Grain Workshop badge, because details matter.
