Josh’s Exotic Wood Cutting Boards

Handcrafted Heirloom Boards for Serious Cooks

Welcome to Josh’s Exotic Wood Cutting Boards – where passion for fine woodworking meets the demands of real kitchens. Every board is built by hand in small batches, using only the world’s most stunning and durable exotic hardwoods. These aren’t just cutting boards. They’re statement pieces designed to last generations.

Why Exotic Wood?

We source premium, responsibly harvested exotic hardwoods known for their unmatched beauty, density, and natural antibacterial properties:

•  Wenge – Deep chocolate brown with striking black grain

•  Purpleheart – Vibrant purple that ages to a rich burgundy

•  Padauk – Fiery orange-red that glows under kitchen lights

•  Bubinga – Dramatic figured “waterfall” patterns

•  Zebrawood – Bold contrasting stripes that demand attention

•  Bloodwood – Intense crimson red, almost unreal in person

•  Canarywood – Rainbow streaks of yellow, orange, and purple

Each species is selected for both aesthetics and performance – dense enough to resist knife marks, naturally antimicrobial, and stable for daily heavy use.

Built Like Kitchen Tanks

Our boards are engineered for professional-level abuse:

•  Thickness: Standard 1.5”–2” thick (custom up to 3”+ available)

•  Sizes: From compact 12x18” prep boards to massive 24x36” butcher stations

•  Weight: 15–50+ lbs depending on size – these stay put when you’re breaking down proteins

•  End-Grain Construction – The gold standard for knife-friendly surfaces that self-heal

•  Juice Grooves & Handles – Deep channels and integrated grip handles on larger boards

•  Hidden Rubber Feet – Non-slip elevation that won’t wear out

The Josh’s Difference

•  100% Made by Josh – Every board is personally crafted, sanded through 1000-grit, and finished with multiple coats of food-safe mineral oil and board butter

•  Custom Everything – Want your family’s crest engraved? Monogrammed? Specific dimensions for your island? Done.

•  Lifetime Guarantee – These boards are built to be passed down. If anything ever goes wrong from normal use, I’ll fix or replace it.

•  Care Package Included – Each board ships with maintenance instructions and a tin of our house-made board butter

Perfect For
