Fjorten California Coast Live-Oak (2020 6/12)
Fjorten means 14 and this 14 sided butcher block is designed for use as a serving platter or cutting board seamlessly combining form and function. 10 of the 14 surfaces feature exposed end grain, which provides an ideal cutting surface as the wood self heals cuts and gouges over time. the angles are engineered to allow for ergonomic lifting, as well as a lip under which a plate can be placed for easy push-style-serving of freshly cut items.
This 2020 vintage of 12 boards is constructed from California Coast Live Oak. The material was milled from a naturally fallen tree in Petaluma about 10 years ago by Evan Shively and his team at Arborica.
Care: Oak provides an ideal strength, hardness and density for everyday use. over time, the piece will become even more beautiful as it seasons with use. Re-apply a butcher block conditioner when the wood is looking a bit too dry. Please do not expose the piece to extreme conditions: no dishwasher, no prolonged direct sunlight. Do not leave it sitting in water and try not to have standing water pool up on the surface of the board for extended periods of time.
size: Roughly 13 inches wide, 16 inches long, 1.75 inches thick
