The Colorado Case and Cabinet Company handcrafted wood furnishings and accessories announces addition of bread boards and cutting boards

League City, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/19/2014 -- Handcrafted wood furnishings and accessories maker The Colorado Case and Cabinet Company proudly announces the addition of custom breadboards and cutting boards to their lineup of fine, handmade wood pieces. Red Himel, head craftsman, uses time-honored techniques, the finest woods and specialized finishing methods to create heirloom wooden furnishings and home pieces like bible stands, lap desks, quilt racks and music stands. Now Red has added a line of cutting boards and bread boards crafted from a selection of high-grade, rare and beautiful woods intended to grace the home and provide generations of use and beauty.

Bread boards can be made of different combinations of quarter-sawn wood, and finished with a light mineral oil that allows hand-washing, but often all that is required is a wet cloth wipe-down. The high-grade finish allows the natural variation of wood grain to shine through. Various combinations of wood are available. Full size boards are 24 inches long and 10 1/2 inches wide. Smaller cheese boards are offered in a combination deal with bread board orders, 11 inches by 9 inches, featuring matching wood selections that make the pair a standout set.

Cutting boards are made of hardy oak end grain cuts, with each row of squares measuring 1 inch by 1 inch, with a thickness of 1 1/12 inches. The traditional crafting process involves laminating the oak strips to create a solid strip of oak planking, then cutting across the grain. Each side is carefully sanded with several grades of finer and finer sand paper, then glued in a large press for over 8 hours. After the cutting board is taken out of the press, it is hand scraped to remove excess glue. The corners are hand-rounded and sanded. The cutting board is then hand rubbed with two coats of mineral oil to seal in color and stability. This process creates a beautiful cutting board that can withstand many years of continuous service. Some folks may want to personalize with hand-engraved initials.

Wood furniture builder Red Himel shares his process for creating the perfect cutting board

League City, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/24/2014 -- Hardy oak cutting boards designed by renowned furniture maker Red Himel are now available in three sizes from The Colorado Case and Cabinet Company. Each chopping board is made up of strips of 1 X 1 ½ -inch wood pieces cut from fine end grain oak, giving each block a unique look and superior strength. The board is then pressed, scraped of glue, sanded, and finally, hand polished with mineral oil. The result is a functional and eye-catching kitchen utensil that, with proper care, will last for years to come.

The Colorado Case and Cabinet Company is quick to point out that their hands-on process and extreme attention to detail is becoming increasingly rare in the modern furniture and home goods world. In their experience, they see most furniture makers moving toward either mass produced products or going in the extreme other direction, producing only one-of-a-kind, original pieces, which can be expensive and time consuming to make. With that in mind, Red Himel, owner and master builder for The Colorado Case and Cabinet Company, set out to find an approach that would allow more people to experience the joy of owning something made from fine, hand-crafted wood.

At The Colorado Case and Cabinet Company, Red decided to take the same old-fashioned, custom-builder mentality and use it to perfect some of his favorite and most popular custom designs from over the years. The products he settled on include cutting boards, bible stands, music stands, and quilt racks — all made by hand from the finest oak, mahogany, walnut, and other wood available. The result is an affordable product with an antique look.
