The difference between the two boards is the way the grain is oriented. Edge grain has the wood's tubules running parallel to the cutting surface, while end grain has the tubules running perpendicular to the cutting surface.

This makes end grain more durable, gentler on knives, and better at absorbing knife cuts, while edge grain boards offer excellent durability at a more affordable price.
