As a maker of handmade wooden cutting boards I often hear "I thought wooden cutting boards encouraged bacteria and are unhygienic" or "I worked in a restaurant and they are required by the health department to use plastic or stainless steel".
I absolutely love live edge and so do my customers... So I'm excited to introduce these wonderful large heavy duty Birdseye maple chopping blocks to my online store.
It has been nearly three years since I started making my Board Butter and I knew from the outset I would make my own wood conditioning products for my kitchen accessories.
End grain cutting boards or chopping blocks are my favourite cutting surface and generally are the best for food hygiene and preserving sharp knife blades.
A few months ago, while stacking my firewood in preparation for the coming onslaught of another Canadian winter, I came across a number of larger logs that had not been split.
