Hinoki. 3 cm thick cutting board in Japanese cypress 42x23 cm.
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout
The beautiful 'Hinoki' board is made from whole Hinoki planks, which are cut from trunks of over 200-year-old Japanese Hinoki cypress trees.
Hinoki wood is extremely gentle on your knives - especially carbon knives or other very hard and brittle Japanese steel types benefit from the soft Hinoki wood as the blades do not chip as easily when you cut into the board.
Hinoki is durable, lightweight and antibacterial. The growth rings are dense and the planks have a high proportion of heartwood, so if you take good care of the board you can use it for many years.
- And the wood smells absolutely wonderful.
We import the Hinoki wood for this board ourselves from Japan. The board measures 42 x 23 x 3 cm.
About Hinoki
◎ About use
Hinoki wood expands and contracts as it absorbs moisture or dries.
Avoid excessive drying by exposing it to direct sunlight or leaving it in water for long periods, as this can cause the wood to warp and crack.
Wet the surface thoroughly before use to prevent the board from absorbing bacteria and odors.
After use, we recommend that you wash (or scrub) the board with coarse salt instead of using washing-up liquid. This will preserve the wood's natural antiseptic properties.
Allow the board to dry thoroughly in a shaded area with good ventilation, then store in a dry place.
◎About resin
Resin extraction may occur on the surface. This is a natural resin that is harmless to humans. It is the resin that is the source of the board's wonderful scent and also contributes to the wood's antiseptic properties. If you think the board is "sticky" a little, you can wipe the board with pure alcohol.
Real Products, Honest Pictures
For us, craftsmanship, materials and aesthetics are the focus. Our product images should give you an honest and inspiring impression of what you get – without unnecessary staging.
The vast majority of product photos in our webshop are therefore taken by ourselves – whether it is a grinder, a knife holder, a serving board or one of our exclusive textiles.
The images of our wooden products always show real products that we have handmade for a customer and photographed before they were delivered.
We also occasionally receive photos from satisfied customers who kindly allow us to use them in the webshop. These photos provide an honest and inspiring insight into how our products look in real homes and environments.
A Guide to Variants
We are constantly expanding our product gallery. As many of our products come in a multitude of sizes and variations, we do not yet have photos of every single one. The image displayed when you make your selection primarily illustrates the chosen type of wood – not necessarily the specific size or design variation.
Every Piece of Wood is Unique
Wood is a living, natural material, and our passion is to create unique products with character. The grain and play of colours will therefore naturally vary from one product to the next. Please consider our photos as a source of inspiration and an indication of the high quality we deliver.
