YEAR: 2020

ABOUT THE CB20-SE:

This cutting board design is part of my Cavazos and Smith, Woodworking and Industrial Design, Signature Series. The model type is the CB15 which means that it is a cutting board that was handcrafted from a 15-inch long glue-up blank. Each cutting board is unique in design, and sizes may vary from length to width to thickness due to processing. So despite the fact that the model type has been well standardized, there is still a presence of uniqueness with each purchase. This design and process has taken over a year to develop. The CB15 includes a friendly 0.25-inch rounded edge. The corners are also rounded to avoid corner impact on other items in the kitchen.

This particular wood blend includes a standard of 11 wood strips. This binary pattern includes a foundation wood, which is beech, and a focus wood, which is padauk (the padauk frames the board and is center-focused).

*Please note that Padauk is sensitive to UV light and that it will over time age as it becomes darker in color. This is its natural biological process.

ABOUT C&S/W&ID CUTTING BOARDS:

Each cutting board, even at the Signature Series level, is handcrafted to be the best in class and unique in design. These are designed with the culinary artist in mind. The building process has been well developed over time and uses a specialized industry-standard glue that is not only waterproof but is so strong that wood breaks before hotsell the glue bond does. Each board is meticulously sanded all the way up to 600 grit sandpaper for maximum appeal and character reveal. The final step is a generous coating of mineral oil (non-toxic and food-safe) as well as a coating of butcher block conditioner.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

- Never put wood cutting boards in the dishwashing machine.
- Never expose the cutting board to harsh chemicals such as bleach. Natural soap is OK.
- Use a combination of warm water, salt, and lime juice to clean the cutting board and kill bacteria.
- Occasionally apply a generous coating of mineral oil and butcher block conditioner to keep the cutting board looking new.
- Over time the cutting board can be re-finished by sanding the surface and applying a new coating of mineral oil and butcher block conditioner.
