My granddaughter found out my engraving machine would do stones and slates. Oh no! Now she uses my machine as much as I do. She is only 9 years old and I think she does pretty good! She does these all by herself. Check them out at her website here!
Cleaning your cutting board after each use is crucial, especially if it has been exposed to vegetable and meat juices. It’s important not to clean it in the dishwasher or submerge it in water, as excessive moisture can penetrate the wood and hinder the drying process. This can result in mold development or cause the board to split.
The next step is extremely important. Once you have washed and hand-dried your board, place it on its side to expose both surfaces, allowing it to air-dry completely
To deodorize a cutting board, sprinkle it with kosher salt after squeezing a lemon over its surface.
Handcrafted Woodworks & Rada Cutlery in Every Detail
Handcrafted Woodworks and Rada Cutlery come together beautifully in my Homestead Treasures Handcrafted Knife Blocks, giving you a reliable and stylish way to store your favorite Rada Cutlery knives.
I craft each block in my wood shop, shaping the wood with care and sanding every surface by hand. Because of this hands‑on approach, every block reflects the quality and warmth that define true Handcrafted Woodworks. You receive a durable, functional piece that protects your knives and adds natural beauty to your kitchen.
Quality Craftsmanship Paired With Great‑Quality Knives
Rada Cutlery creates excellent knives with sharp blades, balanced weight, and comfortable handles. Their great‑quality knives pair naturally with my handcrafted wood products. For example, the Rada Cheese Knife works beautifully with my handcrafted wood cheese boards, creating a thoughtful set for entertaining, gifting, or everyday use. The Rada Cutlery Tomato Slicer is another customer favorite that pairs beautifully with my handcrafted veggie cutting boards, creating a practical and attractive set for everyday meal prep. This pairing highlights the strength of both materials and the value of combining artisan woodwork with dependable cutlery.
Designed for Rada Knives, Built For Your Kitchen
Thoughtful Craftsmanship
I design each knife block specifically for Rada Cutlery Knife Sets, so every knife fits securely and stays easy to reach. You can choose my classic countertop block for simple organization. You can also select the handcrafted Deluxe Block for a more substantial display. If you want to save counter space, a wall‑mounted option offers a practical alternative. For cooks who want their storage to double as décor, you can also make a statement with one of my scenic engraved knife blocks. And for anyone looking to break away from the traditional Oak block, I offer beautiful multi‑species options—including Walnut, Cherry, Maple, and my most sought‑after Ambrosia Maple and Spalted Maple blocks—that bring warmth, character, and individuality to any kitchen. Each style uses premium hardwoods chosen for durability, grain quality, and long‑lasting performance.
Crafted With Care From Start to Finish
Throughout the entire process, I select the wood, shape each piece, and finish every creation with care. This direct involvement ensures consistency and craftsmanship in every item. As a result, my Handcrafted Woodwork products complement the trusted performance of Rada Cutlery. Together, they create a cohesive kitchen collection that feels warm, reliable, and beautifully made. This thoughtful combination brings lasting value, everyday usefulness, and a warm handcrafted touch to your kitchen.
