Custom made dark wood Gum chopping board
$45
Twenty years ago when Workshop87 was just a twinkle in our eye we milled a big old Gum using two team hand saws and a great deal of sweat, elbow grease and a smattering of cursing. Now, many years later, the wood has seasoned to an incredibly dark rich colour, deeper than Walnut and almost as black as ebony.
We have taken a 35cm long slab and cut it into a rectangle that measures 25cm x 15cm, with an angled 10cm long handle for ease of use.
The rectangle of wood and the handle have then been progressive sanded with finer and finer grit sandpaper until it is silky smooth, ready for multiple coats of food safe mineral oil. The end result: a custom sized chef's chopping board that is perfect for final chopping, cutting and slicing, but is equally at home acting as a serving board or a cheese board. The mineral oil has sealed the wood so it us suitable for any kitchen and food preparation task.
The deep, dark walnut colouring of the gum is highlighted in the sides that have been cut, where the very deep internal ox-blood red of the wood peeks through, giving the whole board the impression it is a giant roast of meat with a deep crust and deep blood red interior.
The top of the board is beautifully ornamented by the bold grain of the wood that is visible under the mineral oil, bringing out the deep rich glow of the dark wood.
The board is the perfect size for every day use, and is light enough to be used for hours without tiring the chef. The board also has a 20mm drilled hole in the handle to make hanging the board simple and straightforward.
The chopping board is just one of the wooden treasures made by Workshop87. There is a matching second board of the same wood and same dimensions available, and we can make you a customised chopping board to your exact personal requirements, from a small specialised board just for chillies and spices, to a huge free standing monster that can be used to de-bone whole legs of beef, de-bone chickens and prep pork. Whatever your custom needs, we can create the perfect chopping board for you.
