Cutting Board Piano B

The CUTTING BOARD PIANO B is a rectangular kitchen accessory measuring 30.00 cm in width, 19.00 cm in depth, and 2.00 cm in height. This item has a total volume of 0.0010 cubic meters and a weight of 0.97 kg, making it a portable yet substantial tool for food preparation tasks. The primary construction materials consist of two distinct hardwoods: teak and sono wood. These materials are joined together in a linear pattern that visually references the keys of a piano, which dictates the model designation of the board.

The surface finish is applied using mineral oil. This specific treatment saturates the wood pores to inhibit moisture absorption, preventing the wood from drying out, cracking, or warping during regular kitchen use. Mineral oil is a food-safe substance that does not impart odors or tastes to food items placed on the board. The dual-wood construction utilizes both teak, known for its natural rubber content and resistance to water, and sono wood, which provides a contrasting darker grain pattern and dense cellular structure.

Measuring 30 cm horizontally and 19 cm vertically, the working surface provides adequate space for slicing small to medium-sized ingredients such as vegetables, fruits, and cheeses. The 2 cm thickness gives the board structural rigidity, preventing flex or bending when downward pressure is applied with a chef’s knife or cleaver. At 0.97 kg, the weight is heavy enough to remain stable on a countertop during cutting operations, yet light enough to be lifted with one hand for cleaning or transferring chopped ingredients to a pan or bowl.

The edge profile of the board is cut at a straight ninety-degree angle, maximizing the usable surface area from edge to edge. The junction points between the individual teak and sono wood strips are sanded flush, creating a continuous, smooth plane across the entire top surface. This prevents food particles and liquids from getting trapped in crevices. Maintenance requires hand washing with mild soap and warm water, followed by immediate drying with a towel. Periodic reapplication of food-grade mineral oil is necessary to maintain the moisture barrier and the visual contrast between the teak and sono wood components. The grain orientation of the wood strips is arranged to absorb the impact of knife blades, reducing dulling of the knife edge compared to cutting on glass, stone, or synthetic surfaces.
