| | | About Our Products
|   • Our products are functional and beautiful at the same time. Individual pieces of wood are hand assembled so all of the grain lays in attractive patterns showcasing the natural beauty of the wood. We use complimentary closed grain wood, such as Domestic Walnut, to provide some contrast to the lightness of the Rock Maple.
• We use wide Rock Maple boards, 5/4” thick to start, usually 6” wide. Compared to the 1” x ¾” pieces of Maple that the mass manufacturer uses. Our butcher blocks end up being 2½ -3” thick depending on the size of the butcher block. Our cutting boards are usually 1½” thick. They are weighty and one feels confident while cutting on any of our products. That’s what we like to sell, “cutting with confidence.”
• We stagger our glue joints to strengthen the construction of the boards and blocks. There are no vertical straight lines in our products. Straight lines are indicative of cheaply made mass-produced product (and it’s usually expensive!)
• We laser engrave our product care instructions on the bottoms of the pieces so there are no instructions to lose. They’re on the bottom, forever!
• Unlike the new craze of bamboo cutting boards, we use an FDA approved PVA glue and food safe mineral oil (Material safety data sheets available on request) as a treatment. Boards made outside of the U.S. can use any glue available to them and say it meets food safe standards, there is no regulation involved. Our products are thoroughly treated with food safe mineral oil before they leave so they are well prepared to meet their new owners.
• Our sushi boards and cheese boards are coated with an FDA approved food safe polyurethane. They need only be washed and dried after use.
• Where applicable, we use white rubber non-marring feet and stainless steel screws to attach them. This ensures that our boards will stay put on the counter. The screws will never rust or corrode, 100% guaranteed. We also chamfer the lower edge and corners of the butcher block and cutting boards to provide a place for ones fingers when moving the piece, it also eliminates some sharp corners.
• We make sure that all of our products are shipped in aesthetically pleasing packaging. We don’t use peanuts! We use craft paper to individually wrap and protect our products and then we wrap them in bubble wrap. We also use fixed corner cardboard sleeves to protect our products even further. Since we deal with a limited size differential of products, we ship in perfectly sized boxes.
• With most product sales, we include a card detailing the materials used in the construction of the product along with the care instructions. For butcher blocks and cutting boards, we laser engrave the instructions on the bottom of the product.
