Boca Woodworking & Design

Custom Furniture and Cabinetry

Boca Woodworking provides quality cutting boards, chopping blocks, and serving trays for the discriminating cook or chef who appreciates fine design, materials, and craftsmanship.  Constructed of select solid hardwoods, including maple, cherry, oak, ash, mahogany, and walnut, each is unique in its character and is designed to fulfill its specific purpose.  Every board is hand finished on both sides and is fully reversible, which means you can save prep time and clean-up by quickly cutting vegetables or bread on one side, then flipping the board over to carve your roast or turkey on the other.  Each is individually branded to highlight its hand-crafted origins.

Several design and construction methods are available, including "flat grain" solid boards, laminated "edge grain", or "end grain" butcher block.  Solid designs highlight the specific character of the selected wood, and may include contrasting design elements.   Edge grain designs feature laminated wood strips that run the length of the piece, emphasizing variations in wood color and grain, and providing a hard surface with excellent stability.  End grain (butcher block) designs are the choice of many top chefs, and feature a hard, durable construction that is easier on knives.  During cutting or chopping, the end grain wood fibers absorb the impact of the blade, which keeps knives sharper longer. An end grain surface is resistant to nicks and gouges, which prevents bacteria from entering the wood and keeps the board looking new.
 

With any of these construction methods, extra options are available to customize the board to the user's specifications.  Boards can be virtually any size and thickness, from 3/4" to 3" or more.  Finger slots can be added on the sides or lower edges for easier handling, juice grooves can be added around the perimeter of carving boards, and contrasting design elements can be added for a unique aesthetic detail.   For smaller and lighter boards, a leather loop can be added to allow hanging storage or display.

Cutting and chopping boards are finished with a pure, penetrating mineral oil, which brings out the rich color and grain patterns of the wood and provides excellent protection.  The oil is completely food-safe, and boards can be easily "refreshed" at any time with a light sanding and re-oiling.  Serving boards can be finished with an all-natural shellac to provide a glossier surface.  Shellac is completely food-safe, and in fact is used in candies, pills, and other consumables.
