Description

Acacia Parquet Cutting Board

Elevate your kitchen prep with the distinctive elegance of our Acacia Parquet Cutting Board. Featuring a striking parquet pattern, this board fuses rich acacia wood tones with exceptional craftsmanship—making it both a functional tool and a beautifully designed serving piece.

Timeless Acacia Craftsmanship

Unique Parquet Pattern: Each board showcases a handcrafted parquet motif that highlights the natural grain and contrasts of acacia wood. The result? A stunning statement piece that turns everyday chopping into a visual experience.

Premium Material: Made from sustainably sourced acacia, known for its warm hues and dense, durable character—ideal for everyday use and display.

Two Thoughtful Size Options

  • Square (24 × 24 cm): Compact yet roomy—perfect for quick prep tasks, slicing fruit, or serving small bites.

  • Rectangle (33 × 24 cm): Ideal for more elaborate chopping, carving, or tabletop presentations.

Durable and Kitchen-Ready

Acacia wood is naturally moisture-resistant and knife-friendly, offering longevity without compromising your blade’s edge. At 3 cm thick, this solid board provides a sturdy, stable surface built to withstand daily cooking.

Simple Maintenance for Lasting Beauty

To preserve its sheen and natural charm, simply hand wash with mild soap, dry immediately, and periodically replenish with food-safe mineral oil. Treat it well, and it will remain a kitchen staple for years.

Functional Art for Your Home

Whether perched on your countertop between uses or serving guests at the table, this parquet-cut board adds warmth and character to every moment in the kitchen.

Sizes

  • Rectangle — 33 × 24.3cm, 3cm thick, with a juice groove.
  • Square — 24 × 24cm, 3cm thick.

Three centimetres is butcher-block thickness rather than chopping-board thickness. It is the depth that lets an end-grain board work as intended and it is why these have weight to them.

End grain, and why it matters

What it is. An end-grain board is built from blocks stood on end and glued into a checkerboard, so what your knife meets is the cut ends of the fibres rather than their sides.

Why that is the good kind. Fibres standing on end part around a blade and close again behind it. A face-grain board is sliced across those fibres, which scars it and blunts the knife doing it. End grain is the construction professional kitchens buy, and it is the reason a board like this is worth three times a plank.

Care

Wipe with a damp cloth and dry. No soaking and no dishwasher — a laminated block and standing water are a bad combination.

Oil it more often than you would a thin board: end grain is thirstier because the fibre ends drink. When the colour looks dry rather than deep, a wipe of food-grade mineral oil left to soak in overnight brings it back.

Why this board

The board that proves the argument about wood.

Acacia Parquet Cutting Board - Urban Jiko
The construction

End grain, which is the whole point.

Look at the face and you are looking at the cut ends of the wood, not its sides. That matters because standing fibres part around a knife and close behind it instead of being sliced through. The board heals rather than scars, and your edge lasts longer for it. This is the construction professional kitchens buy, and the old description never once used the word.

  • Fibres part, then close
  • Board heals rather than scars
  • Blocks stood on end

The thickness

Three centimetres. You feel it immediately.

Most boards are a centimetre and a half and move when you work on them. At 3cm this has the mass to stay put under a chef's knife going quickly, which is a safety thing as much as a comfort one. It is also what an end-grain board needs — the depth is where the self-healing happens.

  • 3cm through
  • Stays put under a knife
  • Weight you notice

Two sizes

A working rectangle, or a square that lives out.

The 33 by 24cm rectangle is the one to prep on, and it has a juice groove cut round it for anything that runs. The 24cm square is the one that stays on the counter for bread, cheese and the quick jobs. Both are the same 3cm block underneath.

  • Rectangle 33 × 24.3cm
  • Square 24 × 24cm
  • Juice groove on the rectangle

Questions

Frequently asked about this board

What does end-grain actually mean?

The board is built from blocks stood on end, so your knife meets the cut ends of the fibres rather than their sides. Standing fibres part around a blade and close again behind it, which is why an end-grain board heals rather than scars and why it is far kinder to an edge.

What size are the two options?

Rectangle 33 × 24.3cm and Square 24 × 24cm, both 3cm thick.

Which should I get?

The rectangle if it is your main prep board — more room, and a juice groove for anything that runs. The square if you want something that lives on the counter for bread, cheese and quick jobs.

Is it dishwasher safe?

No. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry it. A glued block and a dishwasher cycle will part company eventually.

How often does it need oiling?

More often than a thin board, because end grain drinks. When the colour looks dry rather than deep, wipe on food-grade mineral oil and leave it overnight. Every few weeks at first, then a few times a year.

How does it compare to your solid acacia board?

The solid board is a face-grain plank — excellent value, good for everything. This is end grain and three centimetres thick, which is a genuine step up in how it treats a knife edge and how long it lasts. It costs accordingly.

Does the square have a juice groove?

The rectangle has one cut round it. If a groove matters for what you do — carving, anything with juice — take the rectangle.

What if I'm not satisfied?

Thirty days to change your mind, no hassle. If it is not right we will put it right.

Reviews

Real customers. Real kitchens.

End grain at this price is the find. My knives have noticeably stopped needing sharpening.

Duncan R.Verified buyer

Three centimetres thick and it does not shift at all when I am working fast.

Sanne K.Verified buyer

The checkerboard face is beautiful. It lives out on the counter.

Alejandro V.Verified buyer

Oiled it on arrival and the colour deepened enormously.

Fiona B.Inverness, UK

Took the rectangle for the juice groove. Right call for carving.

Ravi D.Chennai, IN

Heavy in a good way. Feels like a piece of kit rather than a board.

Nora S.Reykjavik, IS

Marks close up over a day or two. That is the end grain doing its job.

Marc P.Quebec, QC

Bought the square as well. They stack and both get used.

Lucy T.Bristol, UK

Best board I have owned and I have owned a lot of boards.
