Hinoki Butcher's blocks
21 October 2020 ● less than 1 min read ● 3 images
Small batch of two End-grain* chopping boards made of Japan's favourite wood, j.Cypress (檜 hinoki) with Walnut inlays and finished with beeswax.
* End-grain, the grain of the wood is upward which means the board has to be made of small blocks. This is the proper way to make a chopping board. You will not cut the fibres of the wood, therefore it will self-heal when in contact with water, also it is not seal so it will breathe and move naturally adding flavour (chefs said) and emitting fragrance.
Enjoying countryside living and woodwork. Looking forward to co-workshop, creative collaborations and new friends!
Very nice. I have a similar handmade chopping board from my Father-in-law, although it's made of strips of wood instead of blocks. Are you selling these?

Thanks Ian!
I have a woodwork shop where I make custom furniture, but recently started prototyping and sampling wooden products to collaborate whit others on sales by making limited editions. Of course I can take direct orders on anything really or I can set up a workshop for you to make it ; ).
