1. Size of Cutting Board
Your first consideration should be how much
counter space you have. Every kitchen should have at least one large
cutting board. The bigger the board, the less you will find yourself
fussing as the larger surface area of a cutting board gives you more
space to work with. You are likely to leave it where it sits, as a
good-size cutting board weighs a good deal. So buy a cutting board that
fits your counter space. A stylish wood cutting board will also enhance
the look of your kitchen. Small cutting boards are convenient for clean
up and cutting small things quickly (for example a garnish or some
cheese).

End Grain is when the individual boards of wood are arranged so that the grain of the wood (the growth rings) runs vertically (up and down). This puts one end of each board up so that the cutting surface is actually the end of many individual pieces of wood. With the grain aligned in this manner (up and down), when the knife strikes the surface during cutting, the grain of the wood actually separates and then closes when the knife is removed. This accounts for the self-healing aspect of the end-grain surface. The wood itself is not cut, but instead you are cutting between the fibers.

Wooden boards are fabulous and the best choice to look after your
knives. Glass boards look fabulous, but they are nasty to knives — your
knives will dull quickly. Most acrylic boards are OK for knives, but
wood is best. - startcooking.com/blog We are ‘end
grain’ specialists. End grain cutting boards allow your knife to cut
between wood fibers, not across fibers. The fibers will close in a self
healing way. Flat grain boards will dull your knives much quicker and
cut marks show up faster and deeper.

The feet are made of a soft rubber that prevents the boards from sliding on the countertop. Having the board slightly elevated by 3/8" makes the board easier to pick up and prevents moisture from getting trapped under it.

The Eastern Canadian Larch [larix larcina] is also known locally as Tamarack or Juniper. The larch is often referred to as the deciduous conifer because unlike other conifers it drops its needles in the fall. Larch is a dense, rot resistant wood that has a superior ability to neutralize bacteria. The beauty of the bold grain patterning along with the larch’s other characteristics make it a superior cutting surface.
'Tamarack' is from the Algonquin word 'akemantak' which means "wood used for snowshoes".
Historically, tamarack was widely used in wooden ships, for timbers, planking and to join ribs to deck timbers. Native Americans used the roots to bind seams of birch bark canoes, the wood for arrow shafts and the bark medicinally. |  |

The majority of our wood comes from FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), woodlands. Occasionally we will buy from small woodlot owners who manage their woods well. Much of the larch harvested in Cape Breton is chipped for fuel. Larch Wood is proud to be purchasing many of those logs and turning them into value added products.
