Walnut and Purpleheart zig zag End Grain Cutting Board

This design traces back to an earlier piece we built. Our client saw that early piece and wanted a version of it in their kitchen. This is what came from that conversation.

This custom end grain cutting board is constructed from walnut and purpleheart, measuring 20 x 17 x 2 inches. The design is a chevron pattern built from end grain walnut, with the sapwood placement deliberately arranged so the lighter grain traces the peaks of each row consistently across the full surface. The purpleheart frames the walnut field on all sides, adding a deep contrast in both color and grain. The board is dual sided. One side features a juice groove for carving and handling large cuts of meat. The other side is completely flat for general prep work. Finger holds are cut into the sides for easy handling and transport. Finger holds are cut into the sides for easy handling and transport. Like all of our custom cutting boards this one included custom stands built specific to the board's thickness, allowing it to be stored upright on the counter when not in use. The stands are built from maple with purpleheart feet.
