The fibers close after each cut, so the surface heals rather than accumulates damage, and your blades stay sharper longer. It is not a marketing claim. It is what end-grain construction does, and it is why this is the construction used in professional butcher shops. It is also why end-grain blocks take three to five times longer to build than face-grain boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Handles\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost cutting boards sit in one place. This one moves with you. The integrated side handles are functional, not decorative. They are how you carry a heavy block to the sink, drain it properly, and bring it to the table when you are carving. We put them on because that is how a block actually gets used. Most makers skip them because they require more material and more precise work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore this block ships, it is sanded well past the usual standard, finer than most boards on the market, then finished with our handmade Board Cream. Mineral oil, vitamin E, and beeswax at a higher ratio than anything commercial. Pick it up and you will feel the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat people give this block for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWeddings and anniversaries.

Same words, same order, same spelling. I do not edit it and I do not add anything to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is printed rather than handwritten on purpose. Your words deserve to be read cleanly, and nobody should have to squint at my handwriting to get through a message that matters to them. Up to about thirty five words fits comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSending it straight to someone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePut their address in as the shipping address and add this to your order. The package arrives with no invoice, no prices, and your card already inside. As far as the person opening it is concerned, it came from you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the whole reason the upgrade exists. A board arriving at a stranger's door in a shipping mailer is a delivery.

This is about the board arriving already wrapped, with a card, ready to hand over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich boards can I add it to?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 11 by 14 personalized boards. The gift box is sized for them. If you want a larger board or a butcher block boxed as a gift, message me before you order and I will tell you what is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I add it after I have ordered?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmail me the same day and I will usually catch it. Once a board is packed it is a different conversation, so it is better to add it now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat can the card say?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnything you want, up to about thirty five words. Birthdays, weddings, congratulations, a verse, an inside joke. I have printed all of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the box reusable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, and most people keep it. That is part of why it is a box and not paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere does all of this happen?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn my shop in Albany, Oregon.
