ExclusiveHandcrafted Cherry & Padauk Cutting Board | Edge-Grain | 8¾” × 12½” — Gentle Grain Workshop
$120.00
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.
