Small square end grain chopping board made from NZ native Rimu.
I have made this one to look like parquet flooring, really enjoyable to make and makes for a really nice pattern along with the beautiful grain of the Rimu wood. This small board is a good size, easy and effortless to handle, and a good amount of surface area for chopping garlic and onions. Also works very well as a hot plate to protect your tables.

End Grain Chopping Boards are great to use as an everyday item in the kitchen. The wood fibres are standing on end which allows your knife to sink slightly into the wood without cutting the fibres. This also helps to keep your knives sharper for longer.
End Grain Chopping Boards have been finished using the Spoon Oil, a mix of coconut oil, mineral oil, beeswax, and vitamin E, then with a second layer of beeswax.
To care for your end grain cutting board wash in warm soapy water, and please do not put your end grain board in the dishwasher. To maintain your board do not leave soaking in water, keep out of direct sunlight, and if you would like to refresh your finish overtime you can use a beeswax or a coconut oil.
