Introducing Crafted Grain Illusion — an 18" x 14" artisan end grain cutting board where the magic is all in the pattern. Handcrafted from black walnut, cherry, and maple, this board features a captivating, almost optical illusion of depth and geometry that calls to mind retro arcade games and modern art alike. Each wood species contributes its own color and personality: warm cherry, bold walnut, and creamy maple working in harmony to create a visually stunning checker pattern that feels both classic and cutting-edge.
Whether you see a Q*Bert-inspired staircase or a fine art mosaic, one thing’s for sure — this board is as functional as it is mesmerizing. End grain construction means a more forgiving surface for your knives, superior durability, and standout texture. Finished with a food-safe mineral oil and beeswax blend, and branded discreetly on the underside with our Nightshade Nook logo.
