About End Grain Cutting Boards
Wood grains are like straws
As a sharp knife edge comes down on the cutting surface, the ends of the fibers are much more forgiving on a microscopic level.This will keep your knives sharper, longer. Another way to visualize it is to think of how an axe splits wood. Assuming you don't hack on your board for firewood, the wood fibers will essentially heal itself.
Constant care is required
While end grain cutting boards are considered the best for cutting with high end cutlery, you will need to ensure the board is cleaned shortly after use and stored upright in order to dry. You should also maintain a schedule of applying mineral oil to keep the wood from drying out and splitting. NEVER place your end grain cutting board in the dishwasher.
