How to Care for an End Grain Cutting Board
What makes an end grain butcher block different?End grain boards are made with the wood fibers facing up (like a bundle of straws). This makes them:
More knife-friendly
More durable
Better at self-healing from small cuts
…but they also need regular oiling to prevent drying and cracking.
How often should I oil an end grain butcher block?Typical schedule:
First month: oil once per week
After that: oil once per month
Dry climates / heavy use: every 2–3 weeks
Rule of thumb: If it looks dull, feels dry, or absorbs water quickly → it’s time to oil.
