Appalachian Hardwood End Grain Cutting Board

Sustainable, functional beauty. As an environmental educator I enjoy connecting people with the wonders of our natural world. I have a tremendous amount of interest in the trees that shape our forests- from their ability to sustain our ecosystems to their uniqueness and beauty. Stonefly Woodcrafts uses sustainably harvested and reclaimed hardwoods from here in the mountains of Western North Carolina. A wide variety of native hardwoods is available, chosen for their distinctive physical characteristics, color and grain pattern. Commonly selected species include sugar maple (Acer scaccharum), wild black cherry (Prunus serotina), black walnut (Juglans nigra), ash (Fraxinus sp.), black locust (robinia pseudoacacia) and white oak (Quercus alba). End grain boards are available in custom sizes to fit your needs, with a maximum of 12 inches wide and 24 inches long. All are 1.5 inches thick unless specified by the buyer. Cost is dependent upon size, and based upon $0.55 per square inch (for instance, a 10x12 inch board is priced at $66.00). This board will serve you well for everyday use, and the exposed end grain offers an exceptional cutting surface. This is because knife blades cut between rather than across the hardwood fibers. Each has been treated with a beeswax, mineral oil mixture.

I am a professional environmental educator and naturalist in Western North Carolina who enjoys using locally harvested and reclaimed hardwoods in designing and building functional woodwork.

I have a strong interest in creating works that highlight the biodiversity and character of the Southern Appalachians. If that appeals you you, let me know!

The wood I use in all projects is sustainably harvested and in most cases locally sourced. I do not use any exotic hardwoods, as these are often not harvested sustainably and create a large environmental impact by shipping them to the United States. All wood glue is food-safe when cured and waterproof. Finishes are all non-toxic.

    It would be easy to just give Jonathan 5 stars on each of these categories hit Submit and call it good. Well I did give him 5 stars on each category and this is why.

    -I enjoyed seeing all the pictures he sent of the project as he was working on it and the final product.
    -When there was a question regarding some finishing touches. He was willing to fulfill my needs and provided how it would effect my timeline.
    -Clearly he is an expert at his craft. The workmanship was outstanding.
    -My package was delivered on time as promised and was carefully packed to protect it.
    -This was a very good value and I would absolutely will use Jonathan again.

    Jonathon did a fabulous job with a custom made butcher block that now sits inside our counter. I was able to send him a template and measurements which he absolutely nailed! He used local North Carolina black walnut mixed in with other woods to give it a beautiful contrasting look. His prices are very reasonable. I will certainly use him again as well as recommend him to others.

    I was delightfully surprised by the quality of Stonefly Woodcrafts' work. It is always a bit of a gamble to order online and I couldn't have been happier with the results. The cutting boards I ordered were skillfully crafted and obviously done with care. A great value for the price- they could definitely charge more for this work! Perfect items for gifts and great customer service that makes me want to place an order the next time I need a quick gift idea or something more intricately hand crafted for a friend or family. Thanks again!

    Ordered a cutting board from Stonefly - had a certain aesthetic that i was aiming for - sort of a slightly rustic yet substantial look/feel. Finished product was beautiful and exceeded my expectations - the darker and lighter color striations give the board a very unique and non-commercial feel. Board was also delivered in a timely fashion and would definitely look to buy more from Stonefly in the future.
