Thank you for looking! Please feel free to ask questions or request additional info or photos. I prefer to have happy buyers, so don't be afraid to make inquiries before purchasing.

My boards are one of a kind and handmade. Most modern cutting boards are made with glued and laminated wood--I prefer a more natural look but I also prefer my food surfaces to be free of chemicals and glue. Down To Earth Woodworks boards began as a solid single piece of wood, and uses food grade mineral oil, coconut oil, and a little beeswax as finish.

Measurements for boards are taken at the widest point. If you have questions regarding sizing, please feel free to ask.

Down To Earth Woodworks proudly renders artistic products from raw materials salvaged locally-often from our 100 acre wooded farm/ land trust in the foothills of the North Cascades. Great care is taken to find and identify materials which might otherwise be considered unusable, be it a recycled old growth timber or a section of fallen log in the forest. As stewards of our forest, we are also responsible to recognize the value of the decomposing logs as habitat. The materials are harvested with as little impact to the surrounding area as possible. To the untrained observer, the raw material might easily be passed over and burned as firewood as it barely resembles the final product. Raw materials go through many stages, beginning with rough cutting blocks with a chainsaw and finishing with sanding and oiling. Searching for unique blocks is time consuming, but certainly rewarding to a company dedicated to using entirely reclaimed materials...and exciting to discover a diamond in the rough. We use only food grade mineral oil on our boards, and include easy care instructions with each board (also available in my shop policies). We welcome international orders, please convo and we will set up a reserved listing with accurate shipping costs.
