This is a hand-planed cutting board made from Fuji Hinoki cypress, a bit on the smaller side. I believe it has been finished beautifully, with no knots. ✩ Made with certified Fuji Hinoki wood grown on Mt. Fuji ✩ Of course, it's made luxuriously thick from a single piece of wood ✩ Hand-planed by a professional for excellent water drainage! The finish is a cut above commercially available products! ☆ You'll notice the difference when it gets wet! [Size] FM7 Small, no knots Length: 352mm Width: 208mm Thickness: 42mm Weight: 1486g ※ The cup used for size comparison is not included. ※ Because it is hand-finished, all dimensions are approximate. [Material] Single piece of Fuji Hinoki cypress ✩ One corner is beveled, making it slightly easier to lift. ☆ Because it's thick, I think you'll be able to use it for a long time. [Good Points] ✩ I believe that a cutting board is best [unpainted], so it is hand-planed as a surface treatment to achieve this. The chamfered parts are also finished using well-sharpened blades. First, it is planed, then wetted with water once to raise the grain, and then planed again after drying, so I think the grain raising due to water when in use is minimized. Also, the end grain, which is usually difficult to plane, is also planed. This allows water to drain in the shortest amount of time without the grain raising or sanding scratches absorbing water, minimizing the deterioration of the wood due to water absorption. ✩ Predicting the direction in which the wood will warp, and also taking into consideration the blade contact, it is slightly and gently curved to match the individuality of the wood. This is also a technique that can only be done by hand planing. ✩ We do not use [sandpaper] at all in the production of the cutting board, so there is no worry about the remaining abrasive particles damaging the knife or eating the sanding dust. ✩ The rough sandpaper finish that is often seen recently, which looks smooth at first glance, becomes slippery when wet. In contrast, the smooth surface of a planed finish remains smooth even when wet, and is surprisingly non-slip. It's also fun to touch ✨ The above are the good points. Due to character limitations, I cannot write everything, so please read the self-introduction for [Precautions], shipping, packaging, and returns. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you will take hold of this one-of-a-kind, carefully crafted piece. #cuttingboard #FujiHinokiCuttingBoard #HinokiCuttingBoard #HinokiCuttingBoard #WoodenCuttingBoard #ThickCuttingBoard #CuttingBoard #SmallCuttingBoard
