jonny long shanks Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 I used to work at a butchers shop aswell. The blocks are made from maple with the end grain facing up so as it doesn't blunt the edge of the knives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you used that soft wood to start cutting up on it wouldn’t last long and would be a health hazard ..As a look alike bit of furniture I wouldn’t be parting with more than £50 and that’s if I really wanted it ..
