Quilted Cutting Board

Create a quilt-inspired end-grain cutting board using hardwood blocks. Choose from four unique patterns or design your own look.

This quilt-inspired cutting board is the perfect weekend woodworking project, offering both function and visual flair. Using identically sized end-grain blocks, the design mimics the patchwork patterns of traditional quilts. You can follow one of four included patterns or customize your own layout using a mix of wood species for striking contrast.

Each block is cut from solid hardwood and oriented vertically to showcase the durability and unique grain of the end grain. For added complexity and color variation, some blocks combine two species joined with angled glue-ups before cutting. The result is a stunning, one-of-a-kind board that’s as eye-catching as it is durable—perfect for everyday use or as a thoughtful handmade gift.
