Edge grain boards are functional & affordable
Edge grain boards require a fraction of the cuts, glue, and time that go into our end grain cutting boards. And yet their construction is more complicated than our flat grain cutting boards. So, our edge grain boards get you a gorgeous, functional cutting board—at a great price.
Edge grain boards are built to last
With proper care, our edge grain cutting boards last years longer than bamboo, plastic, or flat grain cutting boards. That said, if you’re looking for a moderate-to-heavy-use board that your grandchildren can use to prep meals for their grandchildren, then our end grain cutting boards are the way to go.
Edge grain cutting boards are easy to maneuver
Because edge grain cutting boards are significantly less dense than end grain and slightly more dense than our flat grain boards, our edge grain boards strike the balance between quality & maneuverability.

Are you feeling the (juice) groove?
Want to keep juices, oils, and loose pieces of food out of your way (and off your countertop) while you’re cutting? Get your edge grain cutting board with a juice groove. Rather maximize your cutting surface area? Get yours without it.

Our sweet spot for sweet gum edge grain cutting boards
Sweet gum is the core species for our edge grain cutting boards. Sweet gum wood varies from the palest white to the deepest auburn. And that natural diversity is reflected in each board we build, giving your board truly one-of-a-kind character and beauty.
While sweet gum wood might dance all over the color spectrum, its durability, lightness of weight, and natural satiny feel are consistent. And that gives you a jaw-dropping, lightweight cutting board that will last for years.
Edge-grain cutting boards—hand-crafted & responsibly harvested from Texas timber
Every Gum Creek edge grain cutting board is built by hand. But that’s not all. We responsibly harvest, mill, and kiln-dry sweetgum timber from right here in East Texas. Then, we hand-select each plank and hand-craft your cutting board to perfection. Lastly, we apply our all-natural finish, laser-engrave it, and ship it to you.
