Do you know the difference between end Grain and Edge Grain?
Edge grain and end grain are the two types of cutting surfaces used by John Boos.It is important to consider which type of cutting board you are buying because each of the two surfaces affects the board's appearance and effect on knives.
The side of a 2 x 4 is similar to the surface of an edge-grain cutting board.The cutting boards are made from strips of wood.The strips are placed side-by-side.The edge of each strip of wood is the cutting surface of this type of board.
The beautiful maple or cherry figure on the cutting surface is a good reason to choose a board with edge-grain construction.A cutting board from John Boos will look great on your counter.After long-term use, an edge-grain surface can show cuts and scratches more clearly than an end- grain board.Both types of cutting boards and blocks can be washed and dried after every use and regularly oiled with John Boos Mystery Oil.
