This is a slightly smaller cutting board. Made with safe, domestic Japanese cypress! However, there are some imperfections on the back, such as knots and some unremoved imperfections, but the material itself is good, so it's a great deal if it suits your needs. Perfect as a trial item for a hand-planed Japanese cypress cutting board! Great for fishing or outdoor adventures! ✩ Finished by a professional with a hand plane for excellent water drainage! The finish is a cut above commercial products! ☆ You'll notice the difference when it gets wet! [Size] HS5, with imperfections Length: 380mm, Width: 186-191mm, Thickness: 39mm Weight: 1568g ※ All dimensions are approximate due to hand finishing. ※ The cup used for size comparison is not included. ✩ One corner is beveled for easier lifting. [Good Points] ✩ We believe that a cutting board should be [unpainted], so we've finished it with a hand plane to achieve that. The chamfered parts are also finished using well-sharpened blades. We plane it first, wet it once to raise the grain, and then plane it again after it dries, so we believe that the grain raising caused by 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 away in the shortest amount of time without the grain raising or scratches from sandpaper absorbing water, minimizing the deterioration of the wood due to moisture. ✩ We predict the direction in which the wood will warp and consider the blade contact, and we have slightly and gently shaped it with an R-shape to match the individual characteristics 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 worry about the remaining abrasive particles damaging the knife or eating sandpaper dust. ✩ The rough sandpaper finish that you often see these days, which looks smooth at first glance, becomes slippery when wet. In contrast, the smooth finish of a hand-planed board remains smooth even when wet and is surprisingly non-slip. It's also fun to touch ✨ The above are the good points.
