The Cambria Butcher Block - Starlight

A mix of heartwood and sapwood from the black walnut tree.*

Whether you’re quartering, chopping, deboning, or fileting meat, you can’t go wrong with the Cambria Butcher Block. Handmade in Northern Wisconsin by Amish craftsmen, this end grain butcher block is constructed from 2 ¼ inches of solid wood, giving it enough weight to stay firmly in place as you butcher meat. The self-healing, end grain cutting surface keeps your knives sharp, while a beeswax oil seals and protects the solid wood butcher block. The handmade butcher block includes finger slots for easy lifting, juice grooves to catch any liquids, and rubber feet to keep it from slipping as you cut and chop meats.

* Because we source our wood from multiple suppliers, there may be slight variations in the brightness of the walnut sapwood.

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. This protective barrier prevents cracking and extends your board's life by maintaining even moisture throughout the wood.

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. With these simple care steps, your cutting board will remain beautiful and functional for generations.
