[Material] Nara Prefecture hinoki cypress single board ☆ Since it was taken from both sides without knots, you can use both sides. ✩ One corner is beveled, making it slightly easier to lift. [Good Points] ✩ We believe that a [unpainted] cutting board is the best, so we have finished it with hand planing as a surface treatment to achieve this. The chamfered parts are also finished using well-sharpened blades. First, it is planed, wetted with water once to raise the fuzz, and then planed again after drying, so we believe that the fuzzing caused by wetting during use is minimized. In addition, the end grain, which is usually difficult to plane, is also planed. This allows water to drain in the shortest amount of time without containing fuzz or sanding scratches, minimizing the deterioration of the wood due to water absorption. ✩ We predict the direction in which the wood will warp and take into consideration the blade contact, and we have slightly and gently carved it into an R shape to match the individuality of the wood. This is also a technique that can only be done by hand planing. ✩ We do not use any [sandpaper] in the production of the cutting board, so there is no need to worry about the remaining abrasive particles damaging the knife or eating the sanding powder. ✩ 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.
