A home for frequently & Infrequently asked questions

Post by TheTimberedWolf »

Hello, everyone!

My name's Christopher Dean, and I'm the owner of The Timbered Wolf, LLC, and I handmade every single cutting board that goes out the door. Cutting Boards are my full time job. I don't make furniture, etc. I have belief that in the theory that you can't be the best at something if you spread yourself amongst many things, and i apply it to my business model. I'm an artistic & hardworking guy thats tying to live out his dream.

Now that an introduction's out of the way - I'm making this thread to (hopefully) bring some of the questions i see pop up from time to time to one location. Ill answer anything objectively, and not in a manner that will sway your opinion towards myself or another maker (Boos, Jones, Borkwood, etc). I work with around 300 species of wood, i don't repeat my designs, and the science that goes into cutting boards/the nature of wood is my job, and id just like to help out anyone with any questions, such as,

- matching knife strength to wood in a cutting board
- maintenance
- issues with a board you have
- face grain vs end grain
- thicknesses suggested for application

feel free to drop any and all questions, I'll answer as timely as possible!
