Wood n Stuff

Each piece of x cut camphor is sourced from a timber mill & looks pretty weathered by the time it comes home with us.

We prepare the timber by manually chipping off the bark around the outsides & then machine flattening it so we can see the natural features / cracks in the piece.

Any imperfections are filled with a resin – we use different colours all the time. Each side requires at least 3 days to cure, then it’s sanded down for checking,  some boards require a 2nd resin for small areas & then, another 3 days to cure.

Once we’re happy that any cracks & crevices are covered it’s off for the final sanding – 5 levels –  & the board is silky smooth.

2 coats of a food safe, highly durable finishing oil – Rubimonocoate – & another 3 days to dry & the board is finally finished.

Then again, who said the board HAS to be for food?
