Bloc de boucher en bois de bout, damier d'érable, de noyer et de cerisier
$225.00

Quantity:

An end grain butcher block, built by hand in my shop in Val-d'Or, Quebec. It's a cutting board, not a countertop: you set it on your counter and work on it. One of a kind: the block in the photos is the one you get.

Specs

  • 23 x 12 x 1.4 inches
  • 3.56 kg (7.8 lb)
  • No juice groove and no feet: both sides are flat
  • Oil and wax finish

The wood

A checkerboard of maple, walnut, mahogany and cherry. Every square is a small block glued standing up, one at a time. It takes a long time to build, and it gives a pattern you won't see anywhere else. The logo is engraved in one corner.

Why end grain

In an end grain block, the wood fibres stand upright. Your knife blade slides between the fibres instead of cutting through them. Your edge lasts longer, and the block shows fewer marks than a regular board. That's why butchers work on these.

Shipping

Shipping is free in Canada. Live nearby? You can also pick it up in Val-d'Or.

Care

Wash it by hand with warm water and mild soap, then dry it right away. Never in the dishwasher. It ships already oiled and waxed. Rub in some food-grade mineral oil from time to time. It feeds the wood and keeps it from cracking. Do it more often at first, then a few times a year.

What it's for

Cutting, chopping, slicing. It also makes a great serving board for charcuterie or cheese, and plenty of people just leave it out on the counter because it looks good.

Frequently asked questions

Est-ce un comptoir ou une planche à découper?

Une planche à découper, épaisse et lourde. Tu la déposes sur ton comptoir et tu travailles dessus. Ce n'est pas un comptoir ni un dessus d'îlot.

C'est quoi, du bois de bout?

Chaque carré du damier est un petit bloc collé debout, avec les fibres du bois à la verticale. La lame de ton couteau passe entre les fibres au lieu de les trancher. Ton fil dure plus longtemps et le bloc marque moins qu'une planche ordinaire.

Quelles essences de bois sont utilisées?

De l'érable, du noyer, de l'acajou et du cerisier, montés en damier. Aucune teinture : les couleurs sont celles du bois.

Est-ce que je reçois exactement le bloc des photos?

Oui. C'est une pièce unique de 23 x 12 x 1,4 pouces, 3,56 kg. Celui que tu vois sur les photos, c'est celui que tu reçois.

Est-ce qu'il a une rainure à jus ou des pieds?

Non. Les deux côtés sont plats, donc tu peux l'utiliser d'un bord comme de l'autre. La finition est à l'huile et à la cire.

Comment l'entretenir?

Lave-le à la main à l'eau tiède avec un savon doux, puis essuie-le tout de suite. Jamais au lave-vaisselle et jamais à tremper. Repasse une huile minérale de qualité alimentaire de temps en temps, plus souvent au début.

Combien coûte la livraison?

La livraison est gratuite au Canada. Tu peux aussi le ramasser à Val-d'Or, sans frais.

Où est-il fabriqué?

Il est monté à la main par Créations Gueule de Bois dans mon atelier de Val-d'Or, en Abitibi-Témiscamingue, au Québec.
