This stunning piece of furniture is as functional as it is strikingly beautiful. The Beech block is made to professional butchers quality but it is clearly a domestic piece designed to make a statement in any kitchen, a real conversation piece with a huge “wow” factor. Very much for the discerning stylist.
Freestanding “Island” Butchers Block
Made by hand using traditional methods, no mass production here. The frame is made from Ash and constructed with Mortice and Tenon joints all round for strength. The panels and rack are English Oak with the drawer handle being American Black Walnut. The drawer itself is constructed using dovetail joints on the front for strength and also aesthetics.
The 4 inch thick block is made from Beech. The very best chopping blocks are made using “End Grain” for their durability and this is no exception. End grain is typically 10 to 12 times harder than face grain from the same timber and so will stand up to possibly decades of domestic use. Being hard though, doesn’t mean blunt knives. The microscopic end fibres of the wood part slightly with each pass of the blade, then repack rather like the bristles of a paint brush. More hygienic than plastic and also kinder to your edges.
The Ash frame is tough and strong with a lovely grain accentuated by oiling and polishing. The perfect platform for your new Beech block.
