Wooden Utensils
These utensils are hand made and hand sanded from figured woods selected for their uniqueness of figure, grain patterns and colors.
They are seasoned with mineral oil and need to be re-seasoned occasionally. Despite their striking appearance they are fully functional
and will last a long time in everyday use. Wash with warm water and mild dish soap, wipe dry.

Product Care:
Do Not Put In Dishwasher
Do Not Let Stand In Water For Extended Periods
Do Not Leave In Full-Hot Sun For Extended Periods
Why:
Boards With So Much End Grain Exposed Are More Reactive To Environmental Changes
And As Such Are More Prone To Warping, Cracking Or Separation.

Cutting Boards
These boards are made from oak with the end grain presented on both faces. Every piece is individually milled and glued together with FDA approved food grade glue.
The boards are seasoned with mineral oil and need to be re-seasoned occasionally, just wipe oil on and let set for an hour or more and wipe dry.
To clean boards, wash with warm water and mild dish soap, wipe dry or let stand on edge to dry. With reasonable care these boards should last a generation or more.

Keeping Boxes
These boxes are all hand made from a variety of figured woods. Most boxes have extensive joinery used in their creation and are created from solid woods.
The finish on most boxes is a hand rubbed tung oil, which can be waxed for a more lustrous appearance. The boxes are built one at a time and as a result vary in
size. Most of the woods used are from trees Stephen has sawn, dried and milled himself or from timbers he has re-sawn, dried and milled.
Custom orders are welcome and can be of almost any design, (simple to complex), using any variety of woods (including the use of glass, stone, leather).
Custom small furniture, picture frames and repairs are also welcome.
