Deep black color starts with our quarter sawn American walnut wood with week long furniture grade staining process:
- Spray with water – let sit over night to raise the grain
- Sand back the raised walnut wood grain for a smooth feel.
- Hand rub on a furniture grade black stain let it rest for 24 hours.
- Day 3: we lightly sand every side and re-apply a second coat of black again let it rest overnight.
- Day 4: we apply the first coats of Emmitt’s “Good Stuff” food safe butcher-block finish and let rest overnight (again).
- Day 5: before we package up the blocks we rub each black 360KnifeBlock™ with Howards wood conditioner to keep it looking black and lush while it makes it way to you.
Regular oiling with any mineral oil will keep your black block looking fresh for a lifetime.
