The Process
- Source tree, I only use timber From trees less than 5 miles from my yard. (Some are wind blown, naturally fallen, or have to be removed under licence because they are dangerous).
- All timber is milled at the Pennek off grid work shop / yard.
- Timber is stacked, left to naturally air dry for a minimum of two years.
- Wooden slabs are flattened, with router sled.
- Then hand shape edges, using a traditional draw knife.
- Cut board to length.
- Sand and soften all edges.
- Sand top and bottom of board through four different grades.
- Water pop board, to raise the grain.
- Final sanding.
- Add Prennek brand logo.
- Apply 2 coats of food safe mineral oil over whole board.
- Apply 2 coats of oil / bees wax mix.
- Add rubber feet with stainless steel screws.
- Final check, Chopping board complete – ready to add to the online collection.
