The Ultimate Guide to Finishing Cutting Boards

When it comes to cutting boards, the shape of the corners may seem like a small detail, but it can actually make a big difference in the overall aesthetic of the board. Let's delve into the world of cutting board corners and explore the reasons behind rounded versus square corners.

Our rounded corners are created with a 3/4" radius. This specific radius is chosen for a reason - it strikes a balance between a traditional look and practicality, and softens the edges of the board. Walnut: Embracing Tradition with Rounded Corners

Walnut cutting boards with rounded corners are a classic choice for those who appreciate traditional craftsmanship. The warm tones of walnut paired with the soft curves of rounded corners create a timeless and elegant look. While the rounded corners may not offer any added functionality, they certainly add a touch of sophistication to the kitchen.

In contrast, maple cutting boards with square corners exude a more contemporary vibe. The clean lines and sharp angles of square corners give the board a sleek and modern appearance. Maple's light colour also provides a stark contrast to the darker walnut, making it a popular choice for those with a more minimalist aesthetic.

While rounded corners may evoke a sense of tradition and square corners exude modernity, it's important to note that there is no added functionality to either option. Both rounded and square corners serve the same purpose of providing a stable cutting surface for all your culinary endeavours.
