The Woods

Each wood used in Cascade Mountain Woodworking’s Classic Cutting Boards has its unique qualities that contribute to the overall beauty and durability of the product.

Hard Rock Maple

Hard Rock Maple is a dense, hard wood that is known for its durability and resistance to scratches and dents. It is an ideal choice for cutting boards because it is non-porous and won’t absorb liquids, making it easy to clean and maintain.

Sapele

Sapele is a hardwood that is often used as a substitute for Mahogany because of its similar color and grain patterns. It has a reddish-brown color and a distinctive, interlocking grain pattern that adds visual interest to the cutting boards.

Jatoba

Jatoba, also known as Brazilian Cherry, is a dense hardwood that has a rich, reddish-brown color and a distinctive, swirling grain pattern. It is known for its durability and resistance to scratches and dents.

Padauk

Padauk is a hardwood that has a bright, reddish-orange color that darkens over time with exposure to light. It has a straight, interlocking grain pattern that adds visual interest to the cutting boards.

Craftsmanship

Cascade Mountain Woodworking is a family-run business that takes pride in their craftsmanship. Each cutting board is carefully handcrafted, sanded, and finished to ensure that it meets their high standards for quality. They use only the finest materials and pay attention to every detail to ensure that each cutting board is a work of art.

Benefits of Edge Grain Cutting Boards

Cascade Mountain Woodworking’s Classic Cutting Boards are made using the edge grain construction method, which has several benefits over other methods.

• Durability: Edge grain cutting boards are more durable than other types of cutting boards because the wood fibers are oriented vertically, making them less likely to warp or crack over time. The edge grain construction of these cutting boards makes them extremely durable and able to withstand the rigors of daily use.
• Knife-friendly surface: The wood fibers in an edge grain cutting board run perpendicular to the surface, which means that knives stay sharper for longer and are less likely to become dull over time.
• Low maintenance: Edge grain cutting boards are easy to clean and maintain. They require only occasional oiling to keep them looking and functioning their best.
• Versatility: Edge grain cutting boards are suitable for a wide range of cutting tasks, from chopping vegetables to slicing meat.
