Meticulously handcrafted from the finest cuts of local walnut wood come end-grain butcher blocks of unequaled quality. This dark, warm, and luxurious addition to your kitchen countertop is the work of Michigan artistJos Regueiro. Available individually or as a two-board set, the medium, 8″ x 12″, and large, 14″ x 21″, are each crafted from 2.25″ tall pieces of premium walnut that has been cut across the grain to provide the density, longevity, and stability required by chefs. In addition to the natural beauty of the book-matched pieces that show mirrored grain patterns from panel to panel, these end-grain surfaces are also best for your knife’s edge, which will stay sharper longer compared with other kinds of boards. Fitted with high-quality rubber feet, four on the medium and six on the large boards, they are designed to remain in place for every cut, whether mincing garlic, chopping herbs, to slicing fish or a fresh loaf of bread. *Each board is handmade and may not match the photos exactly.
