A. Standard UPS and USPS takes approximately 5-10 business days, depending on your UPS or USPS zone. We process orders within 24 hours. However, if something should need to be manufactured, it will take approximately 1 week. We will notify you immediately if there is a problem.
Q. What does "end-grain" mean?
A. These boards are constructed of individual blocks of wood which are arranged so that the grain of the wood runs vertically (up and down), so that the top cutting surface is actually the end of many individual pieces of wood. This technique produces a "self-healing" effect which makes it ideal for cutting boards and chopping blocks. When the knife strikes the surface during cutting, the grain of the wood actually separates and closes when the knife is removed. The wood itself is not cut, because you are cutting between the fibers. Your knife blade will last much longer and you'll see no knife marks on the board.
