The Mizunara Cutting Board is made from the prized Mizunara Oak from Hokkaido. A feat possible only when KNOTT worked with the local lumber yards in Asahikawa. The wood is dried naturally and finished by applying a coating of food-safe golden flaxseed oil to ensure durability and to allow the wood to breathe. Solid timber is a natural material that gains more defined characteristics over time, so watch as your cutting board develops its wooden patina.
