Ed Wohl wooden cutting boards and Handmade Cutting Board Oil

How specialized can a woodworker get? Ed Wohl makes birds eye maple cutting boards. He is so meticulous he aligns the grain and birdseye patterns to match when he glues up the boards. The finish feels like silk more than rock hard maple.

Many cooks and chefs say they are not sure if they would chop on them, they are so beautiful. You can use them just like a tray but Ed says "Use them. I have made a second side, just as beautiful as the first, if you want. Leave side #2 as your presentation side.

Besides, Ed now makes available for sale his special beeswax - walnut oil finishing formula. With that, you can restore an old board, and most any piece of wood, to like new condition.

The cutting boards are available in pizza paddle style, rectangular and round.

All About Pewter

The more you handle and use pewter the more it will develop a distinctive, warm patina. Most users and collectors enjoy allowing it to age gracefully so it becomes unique to them.

Using Pewter Measuring Items

After use, you may, clean pewter with warm soapy water, rinse, then allowe to air dry. Towel drying with a soft cloth is fine, too. But please, avoid washing pewter in your dishwasher. The heat and detergent can be too much for pewter.

If you do wish to restore your pewter, a gentle scrub with toothpaste and a soft cloth (or soft toothbrush!) works fine. There are also specialized pewter cleaners available.

Pewter should never be used in an oven, microwave or on the stovetop and should not be exposed to a direct flame.

Interesting history and facts about pewter:

Pewter is not found in its natural state anywhere in the world. It is an alloy, comprised of a number of elements, primarily tin; Tin is the fourth most precious metal, ranked just after gold, silver, and platinum. The reputation tin gets as cheap comes from so called "tin cans". Tin cans are not "Tin". They are actually steel with a very, very thin coating of tin.

Pewter is one of the world's first metals, having been worked into objects of art by ancient Greeks, Romans, and Chinese as early as the 2nd Century A.D. Significant production began in the 13th Century, and by the 18th Century the English had made pewter widely available as an alternative to gold and silver for drinking vessels and holloware. America had it's own "Pewter Century" between 1750 and 1850 when many great New England artists worked in pewter.

Pewter and bronze are related; pewter is mostly tin, with a small amount of copper (and other ingredients), while bronze is mostly copper, with a small amount of tin. Historians think pewter was invented when the quantities of metal in the alloy were reversed by accident

The glass bottom tankard was developed (by the English) so that a soldier could see his enemies approaching while drinking his favorite brew.
