Lovely piece of wood there! I would use it as an excuse for buying a nice new chef knife with a matching handle. :)

Nice looking block of wood you have there!
 
Very nice! I am surprised that don't cut a juice channel around the perimeter.

The Boadsmith treats it with mineral oil and beeswax before he ships it. His recommendation is to use food or pharmaceutical grade mineral oil when it start to dry.

That's a nice piece of work. I think I'd be afraid to use such a beautiful item.

I think it turned out well too.
