David Chang Posted April 13, 2022 Report Posted April 13, 2022 Just an introduction, not a review. Owl Woodworks caught my eye when I was browsing the eatingtools.com website and as soon as they posted them for sale, they all sold out. I don't think I've seen any other wood cutting board like this. But it comes at a cost. I'm on the mailing list and it seems he just sells them one at a time. So you have to jockey position and respond to the email the second you get it. I'm really not into this kind of buying system, but it seems to be the norm with small batch hand forged knife and pan makers these days. This is his second piece on the mailing list. He's sold about 4 boards on eatingtools. Anyway, for $750, you get the board and the plate plus whatever shipping is. More works on his IG: https://www.instagram.com/owlwoodworks/
C6Bill Posted April 13, 2022 Report Posted April 13, 2022 They look too nice, I wouldn’t want yo cut on it and risk marking it up lol
tony b Posted April 13, 2022 Report Posted April 13, 2022 Agree, a serving board, not a working one, for sure. But, despite how beautiful it is, $750 is WAY out of my price range.
David Chang Posted April 14, 2022 Author Report Posted April 14, 2022 i think the work put into make one of these justifies the price. but i think the price can be lowered if he makes it smaller and without the wood plate and slot for it. in the mean time, i will just tell myself the soft rubber japanese cutting boards are better at keeping my knives sharper anyway...😅 1
Poochie Posted April 14, 2022 Report Posted April 14, 2022 It is beautiful but for that price it should be accompanied by someone from the Swedish Bikini Team. I used to do woodworking and made cypress puzzle boxes with patterns similar...but not nearly as intricate...and I can tell you that a whole bunch of work went in to that cutting board.

In the market.
David Chang Posted April 17, 2022 Author Report Posted April 17, 2022 @Dono hasagawa wood core. it's the only rubber one i have so i can't really favor it over another. it does its job superbly however. stains a bit though.. 1
David Chang Posted April 17, 2022 Author Report Posted April 17, 2022 its very forgiving, and im not afraid to cut hard on it, but what i have is like a cocktail board size. i just ordered a larger aomori hiba wood board. we”ll see how that goes… 1
