What is end grain (or end grain)?
End grain cutting boards are made from end pieces of wood. It usually has a checkerboard pattern, which is the main feature by which you can tell it is an end-grain cutting board. This type of wooden cutting board is a bit more expensive, but some people consider it valuable because it is better for the knives. End grain cutting boards have a "self-healing factor" as the fibers close after being cut by the knife.
We use a food safe linseed oil varnish to treat our products.
There are many benefits to using flaxseed oil and these are just a few of them:
- The oil enhances the color of the wood and brings out the grain, giving the wood a more textured look
- It is non-toxic and therefore very environmentally friendly
- Prevents wood from cracking as it prevents the wood from drying out
- It helps cover up some scratches
- The oil penetrates deep into the wood and forms a good protective barrier against the elements.
Information about the beech and its wood
Beech wood is fine-pored, homogeneously structured and has no noticeable features - the only exception is the shimmer of wood rays / medullary rays. The sapwood and heartwood are the same pale yellow to reddish-white color. Trees with heartwood discoloration show a dull red color in the middle of the trunk. This wood is also called beech heartwood. The beech heartwood is very rare and coveted in furniture making because it gives the piece of furniture a suitable character.
The medium-heavy to heavy wood has a high hardness, which leads to a high abrasion resistance. The wood is extremely flexible when steamed. The wood is not weather resistant.
