About Us

 

At End Grain Specialties, we are dedicated to the art and science of crafting high-quality end grain cutting boards. Founded in 2015 in Eugene by Ken Newell, our mission is to provide culinary enthusiasts with products that blend functionality, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Each of our cutting boards, including our popular Hard Maple Travel Size Cutting Board, is meticulously handcrafted to ensure that it meets the highest standards of quality.

Research indicates that end grain cutting boards are superior in protecting knife edges, reducing wear and tear by up to 50% compared to traditional cutting surfaces. This is due to the unique construction of the wood fibers, which allows knives to slide between them rather than cutting across them. Our boards are not only designed for optimal performance but also for easy maintenance, ensuring they remain a staple in your kitchen for years to come.

We understand the importance of portability in today’s fast-paced culinary environment. Our travel-sized boards are specifically designed for those who appreciate cooking on the go, whether it be for camping, picnics, or culinary classes. With a commitment to sustainability, we source our materials responsibly, ensuring that our products are not only beneficial for our customers but also for the environment.

As experts in the field, we take pride in our craftsmanship and the positive impact our products have on the culinary experience. We invite you to explore our collection and discover how our end grain cutting boards can enhance your cooking endeavors.
