Sonder Los Angeles Franklin Edge-Grain Walnut Cutting Board — 20×15×1.5 in, Deep Juice Groove & Non-Slip Feet

The Franklin is an edge-grain American Black Walnut cutting board designed for daily prep, durable service, and elegant presentation.

Handmade in the USA from sustainably sourced American Black Walnut, the Sonder Los Angeles Franklin combines the resilience of edge-grain construction with a warm, refined finish. At 20 x 15 x 1.5 inches, it’s large enough for ambitious meal prep and stylish enough to serve charcuterie, while features like non-slip rubber feet and a deep juice groove add practical protection for countertops.

How does this board stand up to everyday chopping and slicing?

Edge-grain construction uses horizontal wood fibers that create a strong, forgiving surface for most kitchen tasks. This structure resists deep gouges better than end-grain alternatives in some routines, and the Walnut hardwood offers natural density to take repeated use.

• Edge-grain build for consistent cutting surface and durability
• American Black Walnut provides a hard, wear-resistant face
• 1.5-inch thickness balances sturdiness with manageable weight

Will it protect my counter from juices and slipping?

The Franklin was designed with real cook-and-serve use in mind: a generous 4.5 fl oz juice groove captures liquids, and molded rubber feet help anchor the board during prep. These features minimize spills and reduce board movement for safer slicing.

• Deep 4.5 fl oz juice groove contains drippings and sauces
• Non-slip rubber feet keep the board steady during use
• Raised feet allow airflow underneath to help dry the board

What care does a Walnut cutting board need to stay beautiful?

Wood boards require gentle, regular maintenance to preserve appearance and performance. Hand wash with mild soap, dry upright or on a rack, and apply a food-safe oil every 2–3 weeks under typical use to prevent drying and hairline cracks.

• Hand wash only — do not submerge or use dishwasher
• Dry thoroughly after washing to avoid warping
• Oil every 2–3 weeks to maintain finish and prevent splitting

Can it double as a serving board for guests?

Yes — the Franklin’s refined Walnut grain and finished edges make it an attractive charcuterie or serving board straight from prep to table. Packaged in premium gift-ready boxing, it also makes a thoughtful present for home cooks and entertainers.

• Beautiful Walnut tones and finished edges for tabletop presentation
• Large surface supports cheeses, cured meats, and accompaniments
• Premium packaging ideal for gifting occasions

Who is this for: The Franklin suits home cooks who want a durable, handsome workhorse that transitions easily from heavy prep to stylish serving. It’s ideal for cooks who prefer a substantial edge-grain board with practical features — like a deep juice groove and rubber feet — and for gift-givers seeking a high-end, American-made kitchen item. If you value sustainable materials, straightforward care, and a board that looks as good on the counter as it functions in daily use, the Sonder Los Angeles Franklin is built for your kitchen.
