Maple and Walnut Cutting Board

Bring exceptional craftsmanship and the natural beauty of Pacific Northwest hardwood into your kitchen with this handcrafted Maple and Walnut Cutting Board from Chehalem Green. Made from beautifully figured maple accented with rich dark walnut, this substantial 2-inch-thick edge-grain cutting board combines durability, functionality, and one-of-a-kind character in a cutting surface designed to last for years.

Each Chehalem Green cutting board is individually handmade by our small mom-and-pop business in Oregon. We select wood for its natural character, grain patterns, figuring, and color rather than trying to make every board look identical. The lighter tones and distinctive figuring of the maple create a beautiful contrast with the deep, dark walnut accents, making every board unique and one of a kind.

The edge-grain construction is not just attractive—it also creates an excellent working surface for everyday food preparation. Edge-grain cutting boards provide a durable yet knife-friendly cutting surface that is easier on quality knife edges than many harder materials, helping reduce premature dulling while standing up to regular chopping, slicing, and food preparation.

At a substantial two inches thick, this solid hardwood cutting board has the weight and stability expected from a premium handcrafted board. Carefully beveled edges provide a comfortable place for your fingers, making the board easy to pick up and move without cutting intrusive handles or deep finger grooves into the sides. The result is a clean, refined design that allows the natural beauty of the maple and walnut to remain the focus.

Sustainability is an important part of what we create at Chehalem Green. Our wood is sustainably sourced from deadwood whenever possible, transforming naturally fallen or standing dead timber into beautiful, functional pieces rather than harvesting healthy trees specifically for production. Every board is handcrafted, carefully shaped, and finely sanded to reveal the remarkable character and figuring hidden within the wood.

The finished Maple and Walnut Cutting Board is protected with Chehalem Green food-grade wax oil, which penetrates and conditions the hardwood while enhancing its natural grain, depth, and color. The finish brings out the warm maple tones and rich dark walnut contrast while providing a beautiful, natural-looking surface suitable for food-contact applications.

For anyone seeking a handmade wood cutting board, maple cutting board, edge-grain cutting board, solid hardwood cutting board, or unique handcrafted kitchen accessory, this Chehalem Green Maple and Walnut Cutting Board offers an exceptional combination of traditional craftsmanship, sustainable materials, knife-friendly functionality, and unmistakable natural character. No two are exactly alike—and that is precisely what makes each one special.
