Cambria Starlight end grain butcher block
The Cambria Starlight is a rectangular butcher block made from black walnut heartwood and sapwood. Amish craftspeople in Northern Wisconsin build each block from 2.25-inch-thick solid wood with end grain construction and a beeswax oil treatment.
Wood pattern
Starlight pairs black walnut heartwood with lighter sapwood. Sapwood brightness can vary because the wood comes from multiple suppliers; your block may differ from the photographs.
Choose your size
- 12 by 15 inches, 2.25 inches thick
- 14 by 18 inches, 2.25 inches thick
- 16 by 20 inches, 2.25 inches thick
All three sizes include juice grooves around the cutting surface, finger slots for lifting and rubber feet underneath. Measure your counter, sink and storage space before choosing a size, allowing room to lift and clean the block.

Cleaning and conditioning
Hand-wash with warm, soapy water, towel-dry and allow the block to air-dry on edge. Do not soak it or put it in the dishwasher. Apply conditioner when the wood looks dry. Our cutting board care guide covers cleaning, oiling and storage. Beeswax and mineral oil conditioner is available separately.

Easy care: hand-wash, dry on edge, and oil about once a month.
Daily Cleaning: After each use, remove food particles with a nylon brush or dishcloth. Wash with warm soapy water, scrubbing the entire surface, edges, and bottom. Rinse thoroughly, dry with a dish towel, then stand on edge to air dry for at least one hour. Never put your board in the dishwasher, soak it in water, or use steel wool or bleach, as these will damage the wood.
Regular Maintenance: Apply beeswax oil wood conditioner monthly or whenever the board appears dry or dull. After cleaning and drying completely, rub a small amount of oil into the entire surface including edges. Let it absorb for one hour, then wipe off excess. Regular oiling helps keep moisture even throughout the wood, which reduces the risk of cracking.
Proper Storage: Store your cutting board vertically or on edge in a well-ventilated area to prevent warping. Keep it away from heat sources like stoves and ovens, and avoid direct sunlight. Never use your board as a hot plate, as heat will damage the glue joints and over-dry the wood, causing cracks.
Remember: Wood naturally expands and contracts with moisture changes. The key to preventing cracks is maintaining even moisture throughout the board. Clean the entire surface (not just the cutting area), oil regularly, and allow proper air circulation during storage. These few steps are all the routine care your board needs.
