Larch Wood Canada End Grain Medium Cutting Board, Standard Line, Handcrafted for Professional Chefs & Home Cooking, 17-3/4" x 13-1/2" x 1-5/8"

I researched cutting boards after purchasing good knives. Larchwood seemed to be the best, middle ground for not destroying knives edges. My hunt came to Amazon and this cutting board fit the bill. This board is a beast and beautiful. End grain Larchwood is supposed to be the ticket and so far I am very satisfied. Knives stay sharp and zero chipped edges. Now the rest of the story. This cutting board, and most wood, cutting boards require TLC, maintenance. Directions has you mineral oiling, food grade, this board once a week for the first couple months then less often. Wax the board after seasoned. I have been oiling and this board is thirsty. Rub the oil on all sides, top and bottom, then after two hours wipe the excess. What excess?!? Have owned the board and love it so far. No warping or cracking while the end grain wood keeps the board from showing slice marks. The claim is if you show this cutting board some TLC, it will survive to pass down for a few generations. I can see that happening.

I love everything about this board... I love the uniqueness of the patterning. I love the feel of the board under my knife. I love that it is good for my knives. And Larchwood customer service is top shelf. I knew I was going to buy a Larchwood board when I emailed a couple companies to see it they could accomodate my special needs and they were the only company that took a minute to respond. I would have bought sooner but some goofball posted that larch was bad for knives, so I stepped back and did some research. The knife gurus at TrueChefKnives agreed that this is a great board for Japanese knives, which can be more fragile. Also, Knifewear, a premium knife shop in Canada carries this as their only wood board offering and their knife geeks all feature it in their videos. After just a short period of using it, I agree that it is great for my expensive Japanese knives. I about died when I saw this board go up as a Black Friday deal! I hit that buy button so fast and I couldn't be happier. My only pseudo-regret was I didn't realize that the random pattern board was also on Black Friday sale because I kind of like that better although that isn't much of a regret at all since I was still struggling to decide which to order. I have passed on this link and the LWC BF link to everyone who asks about what board to buy for Black Friday. This one. Done. Thanks Larchwood Canada!

Beautiful design and great cuttingboard!

I’ve had it for nearly four months now and it’s an incredible board; routine TLC will have it last a very long time.

I use my Shun Knives on this! Great board! Love it!

Great cutting board very beautiful and awesome quality I would recommend this product.

Super thick, bit not heavy! Cleans easy! The board is made of many little pieces that someone must sort by hand not a machine. This is evident in a bullseye looking piece that slowly enters the frame in its line and slowly progresses until its centered then slowly moves away. Makes for almost too beautufl to use- ALMOST. My knives love it and it sounds great too! Great Value for the money you invest in your knives!

Just received and its the coolest cutting board I've ever seen. I love it. The way they arrange the wood slices in order and to complement adjacent grain patterns is artistry, and you don't see this on other end grain cutting boards. Watch their video these guys are serious. Rubber feet are a must to keep the board from sliding and to keep air between board and the counter.. A+++++
