LARGE Real Silver, Copper, & Solid Ash End Grain Cutting Board

Built from solid, local Ash, this board features a mixed-metal border of genuine silver and copper leaf. I’ve professionally sealed the leafing to be 100% food-safe, creating a bright, metallic contrast against the light, open grain of the Ash.

This is a full end-grain construction, meaning the wood fibers are oriented vertically. Instead of your knife edge severing the wood fibers, it slides between them—a "self-healing" process that protects your expensive kitchen knives and prevents the deep, ugly scarring found on mass-produced boards.

To ensure it stays put during heavy prep, I’ve mounted the block on 1.5" stainless steel feet. This elevation allows for 360-degree airflow, which is critical for even drying and preventing wood warp over time.

The Build The Wood: Locally sourced Ash—selected for its incredible shock resistance and durability. The Inlay: A dual-tone border of real silver and copper leaf, sealed for safe, everyday food contact. The Hardware: Heavy-duty 1.5" stainless steel feet for stability and hygiene. The Surface: 100% end-grain orientation—the gold standard for knife edge retention. The Finish: Deeply saturated in a mineral oil bath and finished with a hand-applied food-safe wax.

Dimensions Surface Size: 17.5" x 13.5" Height: 2"

Care & Maintenance To preserve the Ash grain and the metallic leafing: Hand wash only with warm water and mild soap. Dry immediately; never submerge the board or put it in the dishwasher. Periodically apply food-grade mineral oil or board butter to keep the Ash fibers hydrated and vibrant.
