Solid Sinker Cypress Enhanced Magnetic Knife Block and Charcuterie Board

The Southern Wood Magnetic Knife Block stands out as an innovative and one-of-a-kind pleasing option that uniquely displays fine cutlery, setting it apart from other knife blocks. The magnetic knife block adds simplicity and elegance to your counter with its solid shape providing cooks with a decorative, functional storage option. Unlike traditional blocks that store knives in slots, the Southern Wood Magnetic Knife Block securely displays knives on its exterior with an elegant design. This allows for easy identification of different knives, ensuring you select the right blade for each specific task.

In addition to serving as a knife block, it can also function as a charcuterie board. This exquisite, handcrafted Louisiana sinker cypress board serves as a charcuterie, serving, or cheese board and is not just functional—it's a unique conversation starter. The design, clarity, and distinctiveness of each board will captivate your guests. With individual craftsmanship, no two boards are identical, making each one a singular work of art created especially for you. The beauty of the sinker cypress lies in the variation of its grain, color and texture giving it a natural charm. Its rich colors are unique to its origins. Our unique boards are crafted from high-quality finish that is free of VOCs and BPAs, ensuring they are safe for food contact. These boards are free from any paint, stains, or colorants. They make an excellent gift for various occasions such as housewarmings, weddings, birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries, whether for yourself or someone special.

Why Sinker Cypress?

In Louisiana and the Southeastern United States, cypress logs were axe-cut in the 1800’s from virgin cypress forests. They were then transported to various destinations across the country. On their journey many were lost and submerged underwater, where they acquired vibrant colors from the surrounding environment. Hence the name “Sinker Cypress.” The ultimate color of each log varies depending on pH, silt content, water movement, salinity, length of time under water, and type of environment the tree originated. Their tight grain from slow growth is unlike any other lumber in today’s growing forests. 

Our Process

Once pulled from the bayous, milled, and kiln-dried locally to 10-12% moisture content, each slab is meticulously selected to be transformed into a functional work of art. By planing, sanding, and cutting the wood, our team of craftsmen are able to create exquisite tables, rich with a piece of Louisiana history.

Notes

This is natural wood and finished with a clear, matte coating. It provides a protective layer that makes each knife block resistant and easy to clean. Each piece is uniquely created and one of a kind. Wood retains moisture in pockets, which can cause the wood to crack and split. Unlike other companies, Southern Wood uses a state-of-the-art vacuum kiln to dry wood and prevent this from happening. Every slab is kiln dried to 8-10% moisture content in our iDry vacuum kiln. As raw wood is used in its natural form, the item shown in the picture will slightly vary from the one purchased. Each knife block has its own distinct color variations and characteristics. Woods of the same species may vary in color, grain pattern, and texture. Natural wood may display small splits, knots, or other organic features unique to each piece. This is real wood, and it will react to water, humidity, and heat as well. As such, do not put in dishwasher. Just clean with a rag. Occasionally coat with mineral or cutting board oil to keep the wood looking as good as it did on the first day you got it.
