Standing strong, no matter the recipe or occasion. Built to endure the rigors of daily use.
Our handmade, uniquely patterned cutting board is crafted out of high-quality, beautiful white oak hardwood. These cutting boards are made with the grains facing up, revealing the high-quality hardwood material's beautiful rings and coloring.
We love end grain cutting boards for their durability, hygiene, and ease of use on our knives.
Our end grain boards feature chamfered edges along the top and underside of the board as well as rounded finger holds that add to the cutting board's elegant utilitarian design. On the underside, you'll find 4 non-marking feet which allow for airflow, helping the board dry evenly and assisting in the prevention of warping or cracking.
Little Ledge Woodworks' cutting boards are never stained or dyed. We simply shape, sand, and finish them with food-grade oil and wax to help preserve and prepare them for your home.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Cleaning
Always hand wash both sides of your cutting board with warm-to-hot, soapy water, and rinse well. Do not submerge your cutting board in water. Never place your cutting board in the dishwasher. After washing, wipe it dry and leave standing on its edge to allow ample air circulation through the board.
Conditioning
Routine care of your wooden cutting board is key to maintaining its beauty and increasing longevity. For best results, we recommend you condition your cutting board with a cutting-board-specific oil weekly for the first month. Your home has a unique climate and humidity level; oiling the board helps your cutting board adjust to its new environment. After the first month, you likely only need to condition the board monthly or on an as-needed basis. You’ll know the board is due for oiling if it starts to appear dull, patchy, or feels rough.
Oiling Instructions
Only apply oil when the board is clean and 100% dry; never apply oil when the board is wet or damp. Spread a generous layer to all sides of the board: front, back, top, bottom, and both sides, including the finger grips. Pay particular attention to massaging the oil into any visibly dry spots. Once the oil has had enough time to soak in, if needed, apply an additional layer of oil to any still-visibly dry areas. Lightly wipe off the excess oil with a dry cloth or paper towel, and your cutting board is ready to get back to work!
Additional Don'ts
Do not place hot pots and pans on the cutting board. Do not use vegetable oils such as canola, olive, coconut, or grapeseed oil to condition your board. Instead, always use food-safe oil specially designed for cutting boards, such as Walrus Oil or food-safe mineral oil.
Optional Wax
Applying a food-grade wax after oiling further aids in retaining the cutting board’s moisture and extending the time between conditioning. Spread the wax onto all surfaces of the cutting board, similar to when you applied the oil. Gloved fingers work great. Buff out excess wax with a cloth and leave the cutting board to cure overnight, sitting on one of its edges for maximum airflow.
