Compact Tigerwood End Grain Cutting Board
This handcrafted compact end grain cutting board combines richly figured
Tigerwood with a contrasting Black Limba center and narrow Padauk accent
strips.
Its smaller footprint makes it practical for everyday prep, serving, and

Bold Tigerwood Character
Tigerwood forms the main body of the board and immediately draws attention
with its warm amber color, dark streaking, and naturally dramatic figure.
The end grain orientation reveals repeating patterns that shift across the
surface, giving each board its own individual movement and character.
The broad Tigerwood sections create a strong visual foundation while
allowing the contrasting center and accent strips to remain clearly defined.
Black Limba Center & Padauk Accents
A Black Limba center runs through the board, introducing lighter golden
tones, dark natural lines, and a flowing grain pattern that contrasts with
the more dramatic Tigerwood figure.
Narrow Padauk strips frame the center with rich reddish-orange color,
creating a clean transition between the two primary hardwoods and adding
a refined rhythm to the overall layout.
Premium Hardwood Construction
This board is built from three high-quality hardwoods selected for natural
beauty, contrast, and dependable performance.
- Tigerwood: Warm golden-brown color with bold dark figure
- Black Limba: Flowing grain with light and dark natural variation
- Padauk: Vibrant reddish-orange accents and strong contrast
Because every piece of hardwood has its own grain and color variation,
each finished board is naturally one of a kind.
Why End Grain Matters
End grain construction positions the ends of the wood fibers at the
cutting surface. This allows the fibers to receive knife impact more
naturally, helping reduce visible wear while remaining gentler on quality
knife edges.
- Knife-friendly cutting surface
- Helps reduce visible cutting marks
- Durable construction for regular use
- Highlights the character of each hardwood block
Compact Size, Substantial Feel
Measuring approximately 10" x 8" x 1⅜", this board is easy
to handle and store while still offering the thickness and stability of a
premium end grain cutting board.
Its size makes it especially useful for quick prep, smaller portions,
serving cheese and snacks, or keeping a dedicated board within easy reach
on the countertop.
Conditioned For Protection
The finished board is treated with Howard’s Butcher Block Conditioner, a
food-safe blend designed to nourish the hardwood, enhance its natural
colors, and help protect it from drying and everyday moisture exposure.
Handcrafted One Board At A Time
Every Fifeco Woodworks board is individually laid out, assembled,
flattened, sanded, conditioned, and inspected by hand. Attention is given
to both the performance of the finished board and the way each hardwood’s
grain and color work together.
Care Notes
Hand wash only with mild soap and water, then dry promptly. Do not place
in a dishwasher, leave submerged in water, or expose the board to extreme
heat. Periodic conditioning with a food-safe butcher block conditioner
will help preserve the hardwood, color, and smooth finish.
