What is Face-Grain

Face-Grain boards are constructed by laying the cut lumber flat and joining it at the edges to make a tabletop or countertop surface. Most Face-Grain boards have a natural wood finish and a smooth top surface that makes them easy to clean. The biggest drawback to this style is that it will show knife marks faster than End-Grain or Edge-Grain cutting boards.

Face-Grain boards are the least expensive than their similar counterparts, making them an attractive option if you’re just starting out with your kitchen equipment or need something on a budget.

Pros:

  • Affordable and affordable
  • Offer striking visual patterns at they’re generally whole pieces of wood

Cons:

  • Face-Grain cutting boards show the most cuts and knife marks than Edge-Grain or End-Grain. Not ideal for heavy cutting or chopping
  • Softer and absorb more moisture than Edge-Grain (but less moisture than End-Grain)

Ideal usage:

Face-Grain cutting boards are great for food presentation and as countertops. If you like charcuterie boards, a Face-Grain board would be perfect, and its unique visual patterns will accentuate the look. Beautiful show pieces, but be wary of using them for continuous heavy cutting.
