Made and designed by the Edward Wohl in Wisconsin USA.
Master Woodworker Edward Wohl is known for its masterful design, seamless joinery and liquid-smooth finish. He has designed a variety of limited-production pieces including blanket chests, stools, benches and coffee tables and an extensive line of bird's-eye maple cutting boards, which are sold in shops and galleries worldwide.
With his family, Edward has made his home and workplace among the pastoral hills and valleys of southwestern Wisconsin since 1970.
Hard maple is the obvious choice for our cutting boards both for practical and aesthetic reasons. It's extremely durable, and wears slowly and evenly. Craftsmen consider it highly "workable" – a pleasure to cut, shape and finish with precision. And it's a very stable wood, which means that it resists warping, cracking, swelling and splitting due to the stresses of temperature and humidity. With maple, we can achieve exactly the shapes we want, and be assured they'll stay that way.
Because of its high density and fine, even grain, hard maple resists marring from knife cuts, and absorbs relatively little moisture from food. It also provides a pleasing finish — a smooth, even surface with an attractive luster. This is important to us, as we work to achieve a finish that is virtually liquid in its smoothness.
Made from bird's-eye maple, which exhibits a pattern of hundreds of small oval figures resembling bird's eyes. Only one in perhaps 500 hard maple trees will exhibit this pattern, and experts are uncertain why it occurs. It may result from a fungus, or particular stresses on the growing tree. Because bird's-eye maple varies tremendously in color and pattern, we create each cutting board from custom-matched sections selected from a single piece of wood. This gives each board its distinctive appearance.
Dimensions: 11" X 15.5"
279mm Wide x 393mm Tall
Note our logo is added as a watermark and does not appear on the product itself. Every board is unique, hand made and from different tree stocks. We cannot guarantee a perfect match to the image at any time, be this in pattern or colour. We do not refund orders based on wood variations from this range.
