Hinoki Cutting Board - Small
This Hinoki cutting board is handcrafted from a single piece of Shimanto hinoki cypress, aged approximately 70–80 years. In Japan, hinoki is highly valued for its gentle touch on knives and its subtle, calming natural fragrance.
The smooth surface features a soft pale pink tone, while the wood’s natural oils help resist moisture, making the board durable and reliable for everyday use. The edges are specially treated to prevent staining and discoloration, and a rotating cherry wood stand allows the board to dry upright after use.
With a 20mm thickness, it offers excellent stability while remaining lightweight and easy to handle, balancing practical performance with everyday ease of use.
Before & After Use: Lightly wet before use and wipe off excess water. After use, wash with mild soap, wipe dry, and stand upright to air dry. Do not soak or use a dishwasher. No oiling is needed. Prevent Black Stains: Place a dry cloth under the stand and wipe the board before drying. If stains appear, lightly sand the stand. Warping & Cracks: Avoid direct sunlight or sudden drying. If warping occurs, cover the concave side with a damp cloth and dry in the shade. Cracks may appear naturally; occasional wetting or oiling edges can help prevent them.
