This is a small cutting board, about the size of two coasters. I'm selling this as a trial piece to let you experience a Hinoki wood cutting board with a hand-planed finish. I also have regular-sized cutting boards for sale, so please take a look at those as well. ✩ Of course, it's a single piece of wood! Completely handmade! ✩ Finished by a professional with a hand plane for excellent water drainage! [Size] OS15 Trial Cutting Board Length: 270mm Width: 119mm Thickness: 15mm Weight: 223g ※ Please note the dimensions as it is quite small!!! ※ Due to the hand finish, all dimensions are approximate. ※ The cup for size comparison is not included. [Material] Shinano Hinoki single board ✩ One corner is beveled, making it slightly easier to lift. [Good Points] ✩ I believe that an [unpainted] cutting board is the best, so I have finished it with a hand plane 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 to raise the grain, and then dried before being planed again, so I think that the grain raising due to water when using it is minimized. Also, the end grain, which is usually difficult to plane, is also finished with a plane. 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 account the blade contact, it is slightly and gently shaped with an R-shape to match the individuality of the wood. This is also a technique that can only be done with a hand plane. ✩ We do not use any [sandpaper] 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 looks smooth at first glance, but it becomes slippery when wet. In contrast, the smooth hand-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 the character limit, I cannot write everything, so please read my self-introduction for [Precautions], shipping, packaging, and returns.

We hope you understand and take hold of this one-of-a-kind, carefully crafted piece. #cuttingboard #smallcuttingboard #hinokicuttingboard #hinokicutingboard #woodcuttingboard #cuttingboard
