Take what is perhaps one of the most utilitarian, time-proven constructions...the butcher block cutting board.
Now
view its varied end grain patterns of rings and rays as a canvas in
which to compose a variety of patterns, some repeating, some random.
What
you discover is an art object that moves from the mundane to the
beautiful, so much so, you dare not return it to its former status as
kitchen work board. But, that's the special treat of this art
object...it still retains the durability that has made true, end grain
butcher block the standard for kitchen service over the centuries.
Literally,
this is art you can take a knife to! You dare to chop, slice
and
dice away, all the while enjoying the beautiful composition of this
hand crafted artisan work. The geometric patterns, like the
larger board, are full-thickness end grain wood...turn the board over
and you'll find exactly the same pattern underneath as on top.
End
grain butcher block boards are much gentler to your knife edges; the
end grain fibers absorb the cut so well, you have a hard time
finding evidence of use. Each board is treated with a
food-safe
conditioner, included with each purchase, along with instructions on
the simple care that ensures the continuing beauty of your board
.
