Which wooden cutting board is right for you? A guide to the TheWootz range
Choose the right board for your kitchen
Buying a wooden cutting board seems simple, until you realize that not every board is the same. TheWootz offers various handmade cutting boards, each with its own purpose and advantage. Whether you cook daily, host occasional drinks, or are looking for a unique gift: there's a board that perfectly suits you.
The difference is not just in size and price. It's about wood type, thickness, use, and what you expect from it. Let's explain the choices.
The luxury cutting board with juice groove: for serious cooks
The luxury wooden cutting board with juice groove (45 x 36 x 3 cm) is made of solid beech wood and designed for those who cook truly seriously. The integrated juice groove all around catches meat juices, fruit juices, and other liquids, keeping your countertop clean.
This is your board if you:
- Regularly cut meat, fish, or juicy fruit
- Need a spacious work surface
- Value quality and functionality
Price: 29.50 euros. For those who do a lot of cutting, this is a solid investment.
The luxury butcher block: stability for heavy work
The wooden butcher block in beech wood (40 x 40 x 6 cm) is extra thick and heavy. This is not a cutting board, but a special butcher block for intensive work: chopping meat, mincing vegetables, slicing herbs.
The extra thickness provides stability, so the block doesn't shift while you work. Beech wood is hard, wear-resistant, and gentle on your knives.
Choose this block if you:
- Chop a lot and intensively
- Want a stable, sturdy work surface
- Are willing to spend a bit more for quality
Price: 74.95 euros. An investment for the serious home cook.
The serving board: oak for presentation
The wooden serving board in oak wood (30 x 20 x 3.3 cm) is smaller and designed for serving, not cutting. Solid oak gives a warm, natural look that looks beautiful on the table.
This board is ideal for:
- Serving cheese, sausage, and snacks
- Friday afternoon drinks
- An attractive presentation on the table
Price: 12.95 euros. The most accessible choice and perfect as a gift.
Budget and purpose determine your choice
Do you want to start cheaply? The serving board (12.95 euros) is a great start. Do you want to cut daily? The luxury cutting board with juice groove (29.50 euros) is the most practical. Do you cook intensively and seriously? The butcher block (74.95 euros) is your partner.
Each board is handmade in the Netherlands and features the TheWootz brand mark. No two boards are alike, as each piece of wood has its own grain.
Maintenance: the same approach for all boards
Whatever you choose: maintenance is simple and the same. Apply a thin layer of food-safe maintenance oil (100% grapeseed oil) twice a month, five minutes of work. Optionally, you can use beeswax for extra protection.
TheWootz offers starter kits and maintenance kits, so you have everything you need at once. This makes maintaining your board truly hassle-free.
A board as a gift
A handmade wooden cutting board is a unique gift. Whether you want to give a wooden cutting board as a gift to a cooking enthusiast, or are looking for a corporate gift for your clients: TheWootz delivers for free to the Netherlands and Belgium and can engrave boards with a name or logo.
Make your choice
Every TheWootz board lasts a lifetime with simple maintenance. The choice depends on what you do in the kitchen and what your budget allows. Curious which board suits you best? View the full assortment at thewootz.com.
