Thanks for visiting Blockhead Woodworks. We hope you'll enjoy looking at the products of our passion and perhaps take one home to enjoy.

Blockhead Woodworks is an outlet for me to continue to make fine quality wood products that have resulted from my passion for woodworking and my desire to create useful things that look and feel good. My cutting-boards are not the run-of-the-mill, face-grain cutting-boards that you'll see often being made in bulk with robotic equipment. These are hand-crafted, end-grain butcher-blocks made of the highest quality hardwoods available. These are burly boards with heft.

End-grain butcher-blocks are the gold-standard of cutting boards. With its hardness and self-healing qualities, the durability of end-grain butcher-blocks is unmatched, and it's beauty is unrivaled.

I love to build, but I also love to use sustainable products that don't damage the environment. All the hardwood's used are sourced from urban lumberjacks that rescue damaged or dead neighborhood trees from the wood-chipper or fireplace. Specifically the hardwood lumber I use is sourced from the Ann Arbor Michigan area from small mills operated by local small businesses. And...it's fantastic stuff! My butcher-blocks and Charcuterie boards are generally made of Cherry, Maple, Walnut, and Ash, while in some of my furniture projects I love to use Quarter-sawn White Oak.

As a hobbyist, I'm not in this to get rich (hence the cheap website with no e-commerce). By putting some of these up for sale, I'm hoping to fund my hobby/passion and replace the materials I've consumed in the process of creating these. While I do use some power tools, these are not high-production, computer/robot produced items. They are all unique in some way, and owning one of these is a sure way to own a one of a kind item. Each butcher block has about 4 hours of labor more or less in them (I made 16 in 8 days).

Most of what you see on this site were made either as gifts or were inspired by the gifting spirit. When these are gone, they'll likely be gone until I'm stirred to make more... that will be, probably because I need a gift for someone who needs a beautiful kitchen tool.
