Why Choose Edge Grain Chopping Boards?
Cost: Edge grain chopping boards tend to be less expensive than end grain chopping boards. This is because end grain chopping boards are made from a more complex and time-consuming process, which involves gluing together small pieces of wood at right angles to create a pattern that looks like a mosaic. Edge grain chopping boards, on the other hand, are made by gluing together long strips of wood, which is a simpler and faster process.
Maintenance: Edge grain chopping boards are generally easier to maintain than end grain chopping boards and will require oiling less often. This is because of the more porous nature of end grain which will dry out with use.
Weight: Edge grain chopping boards are lighter than end grain chopping boards. A lighter chopping board is easier to move around the kitchen from counter to counter and is also more convenient to use as a serving board.
