Long hinoki (Japanese cypress) cutting board. I think it's finished quite well. ※ Although it looks long and thin in the photo, it also has a considerable depth. ✩ Made with certified Fuji Hinoki wood grown in Mt. Fuji ✩ Of course, it uses a single, thick board luxuriously ✩ Finished by a professional with a hand plane for excellent water drainage! The finish is in a class of its own compared to commercial products! [Size] FL18 Long Length 564mm Width 240mm Thickness 39.5mm Weight 2221g ※ The cup for size comparison is not included. ※ All dimensions are approximate due to hand finishing. ※ Because it is thick, I think you can use it for a long time. [Material] Fuji Hinoki single board ✩ One corner is beveled, making it slightly easier to lift. [Good Points] ✩ I believe that a cutting board is best [unpainted], so it is finished 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 after drying, it is planed again, so I think that the grain raising due to water wetting during use 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 containing grain or sanding scratches, 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 shaped into an R-shape to match the characteristics of the wood. This is also a technique that can only be done with a hand plane. ✩ We do not use [sandpaper] at all in the production of cutting boards, 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 finish of the hand plane remains smooth even when wet, and is surprisingly non-slip. It's also fun to touch ✨ The above are the good points.
