Crafted for those who find beauty in the ritual of making, each board carries the weight of purpose—functional, durable, and darkly elegant. Let your kitchen be more than a place of routine. Let it be a space of creation, devotion, and a little bit of magic.

What will you summon tonight?

The Reader End Grain Cutting Board

American Black Walnut and Black Cherry, carved by chance and finished by hand. Roughly 12” x 17” x 1.5” with rubber feet—because The Reader refuses to absorb anything it hasn’t meticulously analyzed first (including countertop moisture). Treated with mineral oil and a thick coat of board butter (beeswax and mineral oil), it arrives with enough extra to last—assuming you don’t misplace it somewhere between your annotated copy of Infinite Jest and that esoteric philosophy book you swear you’ll finish someday.

A fully unique 1/1 handmade, end grain cutting board, The Reader consumes only the classics—but in reverse, top to bottom, right to left, as if every great novel were secretly a manga waiting to be unlocked. It believes true comprehension comes only from seeing the ending first, dissecting every foreshadowed moment with the cold precision of a literary necromancer. It has a fully formed opinion on your favorite book and hasn’t even read it yet. That said, The Reader is inexplicably obsessed with surprise parties, proving that even the most meticulous minds crave a little chaos.

The Musician End Grain Cutting Board

Handmade. One of one. This end grain cutting board is crafted from deep, moody American black walnut and rich black cherry, measuring roughly 12” x 17” x 1.5”. Designed for longevity, it rests on rubber feet to keep it elevated—protecting the wood from moisture and the counter from fate. It’s been treated with mineral oil and finished with a heavy dose of board butter (a mix of beeswax and mineral oil) to keep it resilient. You’ll receive enough extra board butter to last—if you don’t lose it first. Care instructions included, though some things in life are best learned through use.

The Musician plays trombone. That alone is uncommon. But it plays only once a year, deep inside a cavern within Vesuvius. The sound is said to be impossibly beautiful—so much so that any living soul who hears it will experience the most traumatic dysphoria possible within the next 2-3 months. For the dead, though, it’s different. The music resolves whatever unfinished business they carried, granting them final passage.

Use this board wisely. Some things are meant to be heard. Others—only to be remembered.

The Listener End Grain Cutting Board

American Black Walnut and Black Cherry, carved by chance and finished by hand. Roughly 12” x 17” x 1.5” with rubber feet to keep it elevated, because The Listener refuses to mingle with countertop moisture. Treated with mineral oil and a generous coating of board butter (beeswax and mineral oil), it arrives with enough extra to last—assuming you don’t misplace it in some obscure corner, like that vinyl you swear you’ll get around to spinning.

A fully unique 1/1 handmade, end grain cutting board, The Listener has already heard everything you love and dismissed it as derivative. It only acknowledges nu-new wave jazztronicacore—an impossibly niche genre that transcends explanation, much like this board. It won’t explain itself. You wouldn’t get it.

Controlled Chaos End Grain Cutting Board – Embrace the Disorder

Order is a construct. The real world thrives on unpredictability, on the raw beauty of chaos. The Black Cherry Chaos Cutting Board is not just a tool—it’s a tribute to chance, inspired by the techniques of John Cage, where randomness becomes art. No two boards are the same, each carved by fate, shaped by grain, and designed to evolve with every cut, every meal, every moment of culinary creation.

Handcrafted from solid black cherry, this board carries the deep warmth of organic imperfection. Its grain shifts like the patterns of an unfolding universe—rich, dark, and unapologetically wild. Over time, each mark left behind only adds to its character, telling the story of every meal prepared upon its surface.
