About Our Wooden Cutting Boards
Anti Bacterial Properties
Our wooden cutting boards are the perfect kitchen tool for all your cutting, and food preparation. Woodcutting boards are the ideal addition to your kitchen because they have strong antibacterial properties, are easy to care for and will look after your knives, ensuring they stay sharper for longer.
Preserving Knife Blades
Cutting and food preparation using wooden boards will preserve your knife blade as the edge of the blade is not constantly hitting a hard surface such as glass, plastic or bamboo. Glass and bamboo boards will blunt your knife edge very quickly as the surface is tough and unforgiving. Plastic is also hard, but additionally is a material which allows germs to spread easily, especially into the cuts on the surface of a used plastic board.
Self-Healing Wooden Boards
When you use a wooden board the wood fibres open up to the edge of the blade and then repair as the blade is withdrawn. Over time the wood continues to self-heal whilst protecting your knife blade. It is important you purchase a good quality wood board which combines a beautiful natural look with a strong, rigid construction. This will ensure your board looks better and better as it gracefully ages.
Attractive Hardwood Choices
James the woodman boards are all made using combinations of Red Gum, Walnut, Maple, Oak and Cherry, superb hardwoods with a lovely full grain finish which is warm and environmentally friendly.These hardwoods have a high end look due to their rich, vivid hues, which sets our boards apart from traditional boards. These attractive hardwoods are also resilient to water and have antibacterial properties. Our end grain chopping boards are built tough and when cared for will last a long time. Each board has a unique distinct design creating beautiful quality and practicality.
