About Leumas Woodworks
Craftsmanship
Each butcher block is built in the endgrain style, fastidiously hand sanded, immersed in mineral oil, and finally hand rubbed with a beeswax wood conditioner. These are made to last and age well even with mistreatment. I want the person who buys my work to be someone who will truly appreciate it.
Artistry
The beauty of living art is that it creates itself. I may choose how the grain flows together and find interesting contrast in color, but the individual pieces of wood were grown. They did it all on their own. Every layer in the grain has its own life and its own story. All I do is let it speak. My commitment is in creating functional pieces of art that reflect the unique bond between the soul of a craftsman and the pith.

Benefits of end grain
The advantage to an end grain cutting surface over side grain is that the grain ends are vertically oriented which separate while the knife edge is pushed into the wood and then return to their original position. They are inherently self healing. If you cut with a knife on side grain surface you sever the grains leaving noticeable marks which add up quickly over time. A side grain style is perfect for charcuterie presentation. Unfortunately most store bought cutting boards are side grain.
All Natural Finish
I finish each piece with a butcher block conditioner that is naturally antimicrobial, antibacterial, and anti-fungal. I recommend rubbing a small amount of mineral oil after every third washing. Treatment monthly with my wood conditioner or as you see the wood lose its luster is recommended. After a decade of heavy use I decided to sand my own butcher block to restore it to its formal grace.
Our Products
Each piece is unique. If requested I will build one in a previous style or coloring but never the same.
