WOW – 5 cm end grain cutting board
With WOW you get a beautiful end grain cutting board with the wow factor. A handmade end grain chopping board in solid wood from our own workshop in Denmark.
Features:
WOW is made from carefully selected and sorted end grain staves, assembled so the wood's natural grain is combined in new ways to create a symmetrical, one-of-a-kind look.
End grain is especially well suited to cutting boards: the wood fibres point up towards the cutting surface, which is gentler on the knife edge, and end grain closes up better after cut marks. A classic cutting board is usually cut along the grain – that makes it hard and durable, but it dulls the knife faster than end grain.
WOW is available with or without a juice groove.
Please note: Every board is a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece in end grain, so natural variations in colour, grain and character will always occur. The stated dimensions may vary by approx. 1–3 cm in each direction. The product photos show examples of boards we have made for customers around the world over the years and give a realistic impression of the design's variation. We always aim for each board to have a harmonious, balanced overall look with the same character and level of craftsmanship as in the pictures.
Sizes:
WOW is made in Mini 30 x 25, Medium 40 x 30, Large 55 x 35, X-Large 60 x 40 and XX-Large 60 x 50 cm. Thickness 5 cm. Available in solid oak or walnut.
Quality:
All our cutting boards and serving boards are made by hand to order in our own workshop in Denmark – from FSC-certified solid furniture-grade timber, never veneer or laminate. The boards go through a long series of manual processes and are finally oiled with a natural, food-safe grapeseed oil that brings out the character of the wood and gives a durable, easy-care surface.
Oil the board when the wood starts to look dry – not by the calendar. The board can be sanded down and re-oiled many times over its lifetime.
Custom size or a different design?
If you would like a cutting board in a custom size – for example to fit over your kitchen sink or a particular corner of the worktop – or one of our other designs in a different finish, feel free to contact us at info@rune-jakobsen.dk. Minor deviations from the standard sizes are made at no extra charge.
A Thoughtful Alternative to Mass-Produced Cutting Boards
Most cutting boards available today are mass-produced in high-volume factories—typically in Asia or Eastern Europe—where material quality and craftsmanship take a back seat to efficiency. We take a different approach.
Custom Made in Denmark – One Board at a Time
Each cutting board is handcrafted to order in our Danish workshop near the North Sea. We work exclusively with solid FSC-certified oak, smoked oak or walnut—carefully chosen for its durability, grain, and visual character.
No stock. No mass production. Every piece is made individually for you, with careful attention to timber selection, tone, texture and finish—resulting in a genuinely one-of-a-kind product that blends function and form.
Scandinavian Craftsmanship and Precision
We consider our cutting boards as a part of the kitchen experience—both practical and aesthetically refined. Each board is hand-sanded in several stages to achieve a smooth, tactile surface, and then treated with a food-safe, natural oil to protect and enhance the wood.
Built for Daily Use and Long-Term Enjoyment
Whether you're preparing everyday meals or hosting weekend dinners, these boards are designed to last. Made from solid, sustainable hardwood, they will develop a rich patina over time—growing more beautiful with use.
Standard Sizes and Custom Options
You’ll find a range of standard formats in our online shop. We also offer free adjustments to size or proportions—just include your preferences when placing your order.
Returns Accepted – Even on Custom Orders
Every piece of wood is unique, and if your board doesn’t quite match your expectations, we offer a full return policy, including for custom-made items.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Even if you use our boards often, with the right care they will remain beautiful for many years. However, if you use the board as a cutting board, scratches and marks will appear in the wood - unfortunately this cannot be avoided.
Please note that wood is a living material that expands and contracts depending on temperature and humidity - unfortunately metal does not, so you will find that with boards with brass or aluminum, the metal will sometimes "stick out" a little - and other times it will be pulled into the wood accordingly. Hopefully, however, it will mostly sit where it should be as when the board was created.
Wash the board by hand immediately after use, or wipe it with a wet/damp cloth. Remember to wet the board on both sides and let it dry by standing it on its edge, otherwise it may warp.
Usage restrictions.
● Do not put in dishwasher● Do not use for long-term storage of food
● Do not use for purposes other than cooking/preparing for cooking.
● Only maintain with food-grade cooking oil
In case of further questions, please feel free to contact us.
The board can easily withstand regular hand washing with dishwashing liquid, but the soap will eventually remove the oil.
NOTE that smoked oak boards can "discolor" if they come into direct, prolonged contact with ordinary light oak or brass tabletops.
It is a good idea to give the board a thin layer of regular cooking oil on all surfaces from time to time - this will preserve the wood's glow. The board must be completely dry before you apply oil. If the board does become a little "rough" to the touch over time, it is because the wood fibers rise slightly on the surface.
You can make the board smooth again by sanding the wood gently in the direction of the grain with fine-grained sandpaper with a grain size of 400 or higher, and then giving it a thin layer of ordinary cooking oil (e.g. sunflower oil).

Real products, honest pictures
With us, craftsmanship, materials and aesthetics are at the heart of everything we do. Our product images are designed to give you an honest and inspiring impression of what you're getting – without unnecessary staging.
The vast majority of product photos in our webshop are therefore taken by us – whether it's a grinder, a magnetic knife holder, a serving board or one of our textiles. The images of our wooden products always show genuine, handmade products that we photograph before they are packed and sent to their new owners.
To give you a better idea of how the products will look in different homes and kitchens, we sometimes insert these original photos into AI-generated rooms or backgrounds. Only the background is artificial – the product itself is never altered or AI-generated. Every grain, edge, color, and detail you see belongs to the physical product we created.
We also occasionally receive photos from satisfied customers who give us permission to use them in the webshop. These photos provide an honest and inspiring insight into how our products look in real homes and environments.
No artificial product renderings. No misleading visual enhancements. Just real craftsmanship, photographed honestly.
Indicative images when choosing a variant
We are constantly expanding our product gallery. As many of our products come in a variety of sizes and variations, we do not yet have images of all of them. The image shown when you select a product primarily illustrates the selected wood type – not necessarily the specific size or design variation.
Every piece of wood is unique
Wood is a living natural material, and our passion is to create unique products with character. The grain patterns and color play will therefore naturally vary from product to product. Please consider our images as guiding inspiration and an indication of the quality we deliver.
If you have any questions, we're happy to help.

Non-slip rubber feet for cutting boards (set of 4) in various colours
Non-slip rubber feet for cutting boards, 4 pcs.
Four non-slip rubber feet, 28 mm in diameter, for mounting under a cutting board. Available in black and white.
Why feet under the board?
Two reasons. The board is fixed, so you can cut with both hands on the knife instead of holding the board – that's a real safety difference with a sharp knife. And air can get to the underside, so the wood dries evenly from both sides and doesn't warp. If you order a board together with the feet, we'll mount them for you.

- 4 pcs per set
- Diameter: 28 mm
- Colors: black and white
- Free assembly if you buy them with a board
Why choose a board from Rune-Jakobsen Design?
Handcrafted chopping boards in cabinetmaker quality
Our range of handcrafted chopping boards is designed to make everyday cooking easier – while enhancing both kitchen and dining table. We produce everything from compact, functional boards to large presentation and serving boards, ensuring you can find a chopping board that matches your needs and preferences.
Most chopping boards on the market are mass-produced in Asia or Eastern Europe. With us, however, you will find exclusively handcrafted quality products, made in Denmark from FSC-certified furniture-grade oak or walnut, and produced in our own workshop.
Each board is individually made
Every chopping board is made individually to order. We take great care to give each board a balanced, harmonious and distinctive character. It is the small details that make the real difference.
Unlike many other manufacturers, we regard a chopping board as a piece of furniture – and treat it accordingly. Time is invested in achieving a visually coherent and well-considered design.
Silky-smooth surface – made to last
Each chopping board goes through a meticulous sanding process in several stages: coarse, medium and fine sanding, with careful cleaning between each step. The result is a silky-smooth surface that develops a beautiful patina over time and remains pleasant to use and look at for many years.
In other words, we do not produce “buy cheap – use and discard” products.
Materials and food safety
All our designs are made exclusively from FSC-certified furniture-grade timber. In addition, the production of our chopping boards is subject to inspection by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration, ensuring that the products are safe for contact with food.

30-day right of withdrawal – even on made-to-order boards
When ordering a unique chopping board online without having seen it in person, there will always be a degree of uncertainty. No two boards are ever the same – the grain and character of the wood vary naturally, and the final result may therefore differ slightly from expectations.
For this reason, we offer a 30-day right of withdrawal on all chopping boards – even those made to order.
