We’re busy in the workshop making Butcher’s Blocks and they’ll be ready to ship by Friday, November 13th. If you’d like to place an order it will ship by that date, otherwise please message us via our contact page and we’d be happy to answer any questions you might have.
Our Butcher’s Blocks are handmade with love in our Eora (Sydney) workshop from sustainable Spotted Gum, a gorgeous timber that ranges from light to dark brown and is also one of the strongest hardwoods available. Each board is crafted from multiple pieces of Spotted Gum to create an irregular patchwork pattern, highlighting the variety of different colours this timber comes in.
We use end grain for durability with a hefty thickness that ensures stability. End grain is also much better for your knives with self healing properties that minimise the appearance of knife marks, keeping the surface smoother for longer.
Both sides of the block can be used and the inset handles make it easy to move and flip. Comes with a non-slip mat.
Size: 45cm L x 24cm W x 4cm H
Weight: 5kg
Our wooden boards and blocks are handmade made from natural timber, the colour and grain on each is unique and variances will occur. While we make every effort for our products to look like our photos it’s never guaranteed as the colour can vary from light to dark. This is the beauty of working with natural materials and means that each product is truly unique.
Care instructions:
Our boards and blocks go through days of oiling and sealing before heading to their new homes.
To maintain the quality of the timber we recommend re-sealing it frequently with the natural beeswax balsam that’s included with your purchase. Apply sparingly with a soft, lint-free cloth - a little goes a long way.
To feed and nourish the timber, and prevent it from cracking or splitting, we recommend Gilly’s Chopping Board Oils (available online or at Bunnings.) This should be used monthly, or more frequently, for very dry or heavily used boards.
Rotate which side of the board you use regularly to maintain stability. If the board ever gets a little ‘wobble’ lay it flat on the opposite side, on an even surface, and the weight will flatten it back out.
Cleaning instructions:
After use, wipe the front and back of your butcher's block with a warm, damp cloth, followed by a soft, dry cloth and leave to air-dry. Do not run under or immerse in water, or put it in the dishwasher.
