This is a long, thin cutting board made from Japanese fir, finished by hand planing. Due to the relatively high shipping cost compared to its volume, we recommend purchasing it as a set with other thicker cutting boards. ✩ Finished by a professional with hand planing, providing excellent water drainage! The finish is in a class of its own compared to commercial products! ☆ You'll notice the difference when it gets wet! ✩ Also great for fishing and outdoor activities! [Size] MS1 Fir Length: 482mm Width: 176mm Thickness: 20mm Weight: 765g ※ The cup shown for size comparison is not included. ※ All dimensions are approximate due to hand finishing. [Material] Solid fir wood ✩ There are characteristic small holes and knots, but you should be able to use both sides. ✩ One corner is beveled for easier lifting. [Advantages] ✩ We believe that a cutting board with no coating is best, so we've finished it with hand planing to achieve this. The chamfered parts are also finished using well-sharpened blades. The board is first planed, then wetted once to raise the grain, and then planed again after drying, which minimizes the fuzziness caused by water when in use. 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 causing fuzziness or sanding marks, minimizing the deterioration of the wood due to water absorption. ✩ We predict the direction in which the wood will warp and take into account the blade contact, and we've 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 sandpaper at all in the production of the cutting board, so there is no worry about the remaining abrasive particles damaging your knives or ingesting sanding dust. ✩ The rough sandpaper finish often seen these days, 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 ✨ These are the good points.
