Description
Built for Serious Kitchen Work
The Shield Series Relief Edition is an extra-large walnut and maple end grain cutting board designed for heavy prep, clean presentation, and daily durability.
Unlike thin mass-produced boards, this XL butcher block provides mass, stability, and long-term performance. As a result, your knives stay sharper and your counter stays protected.
Because it uses true end grain construction, the fibers naturally absorb blade impact. Therefore, cuts heal over time instead of showing deep scars.
Why This XL Board Performs Better
-
Extra-large surface for brisket, roasts, and batch prep
-
End grain walnut and maple construction
-
Thick butcher block stability
-
Hand-finished and food safe
-
Built in small batches
In addition, the contrasting walnut and maple pattern gives the board a bold, structured look that stands out in modern kitchens.
Designed for Function and Presence
This isn’t a decorative board that warps in a year. Instead, it is a dense, heavy cutting surface built to handle serious use.
Because of its thickness and weight, the board stays planted while you slice. Meanwhile, the juice groove captures liquids before they reach your counter.
Whether you are carving smoked brisket or prepping vegetables for the week, this XL cutting board gives you space and confidence.

Dave Snowdon –
I received this cutting board as a gift. WOW!!! The attention to detail from this manufacturer shows vs some of my other wood block cut charcuterie boards. The inlay is perfect! As is the finished edge of the black walnut. Came with a food grade sealed finish. This has instantly become a treasured gift!
