Noticed that the website is missing a few pages and some pictures. Apparently this has been going on for several weeks and I just became aware a few days ago. Between life, markets and making new end grain butcher block cutting boards I guess that  will happen. Hopefully we’ll have it back to normal soon. We are stocked with boards and I am still building. Check us out on Instagram and Facebook.

These boards are available. Just contact us at [email protected] None of these are regulars on our site but are always available at the Farmers Markets or by contacting us. This is a lovely 11″ round x 1.75″ (TRBB) Two Rivers Butcher Block Red (Padauk) These next two are TRBB Maple and Cherry 12 x 18 x 1.75 both with handles.

But I gave up. How about a picture in stead- That is a lovely maple and cherry with finger grooves 12 x 18 x 1 3/4 end grain butcher block cutting board. I have several available that I will be finishing this weekend. (I’m typing this on an iPad and have yet to figure how to enlarge the picture.) I’ll put up another post later with some larger pictures and some nice boards. We were supposed to have attended the One Of A Kind show at the Merchandise Mart last weekend but it was cancelled due to the ongoing pandemic....

Two Rivers Butcher Block Conditioner is here! Well, we’ve had it for a couple of years but I’ve neglected to mention its arrival. We make this ourselves, Ingredients: High-Quality Food Grade Mineral Oil, Beeswax, and Organic Carnuba Wax. Apparently, there is no such thing as organic beeswax. How do you ensure that bees are only enjoying the nectar of plants that have been fed organically? You can’t. Please contact us at [email protected] to order. The cost is $11.00 plus shipping. We recommend treating your Two Rivers Butcher Block boards with our conditioner at least once per month. More frequently if the...

Probably should have posted this sooner but better late than never. Enough humidity is as important to your board as to much humidity is not so good for your board. A couple of years ago I made a 18″ x 20″ x 2″ cherry board for my wife which stays on the kitchen counter. Once winter and the dry air that comes with it rolled in, the board which was flat bowed in the middle and rocked. Fortunately all we had to do was turn it over and the rocking was gone but there was a hump in the middle....

On Christmas Eve we cooked a wonderful roast. I sharpened my carving knife, my wife took out the first cherry end grain board I made for her, this is the one that she set on fire and then ran through the dishwasher. I strongly recommend that you do not set your board on fire or run it through the dishwasher. But I digress, I carved the roast and we had a nice meal. We cleaned up the kitchen a bit but the dishwasher was full and It’s A Wonderful Life  was about to come on. So we grabbed a cup of...
