The EndGrain Small Cutting Board is as convenient as it is attractive. Perfect for cutting and serving meats, cheeses, appetizers, and hors d' oeuvres, it also functions as a memorable and ultra-useful dinner plate! It measures 16" x 12" x 1-3/4" with a 1-1/4" wide juice channel. The term “end grain” refers to the surface produced from a cross-section of the tree’s trunk, as opposed to “face grain” which is wood cut lengthwise. End grain is not only cherished for its rich and unique visual character but also for its superior durability. It's highly resistant to wear, and also easier on knife blades and self-healing, as the cut fibers tend to reclose over time.
