Texas Flag End Grain Cutting Board Handmade

Built right here in Central Texas, this board isn’t just a pattern—it’s a full end-grain construction from the stripes down to the star. Using end-grain ensures your knife edges stay sharp longer, as the blade slides between the wood fibers rather than severing them.

I don’t skip steps on the finish, either. Every board gets a full overnight soak in a mineral oil bath to ensure the wood is saturated deep into the grain, followed by a hand-applied food-safe wax to lock in moisture and provide a smooth, water-resistant surface.

🛠 The Build The Construction: 100% solid end grain. Even the star is inlaid as end grain, so the entire surface wears evenly over time. The Finish: Deep-soaked overnight in mineral oil and finished with a heavy-duty food-safe wax. Origin: Handmade in Central Texas.

📏 Dimensions Thickness: 1.5" — thick enough to be stable on the counter without being too heavy to move for cleaning. Surface Area: 17.5" x 11.5"

🧼 Maintenance To keep the end grain in top shape: Hand wash only (never submerge or put in the dishwasher). Re-oil whenever the wood starts to look "thirsty" or dull.
