Summer, off the grill
Built for what comes off the grill
A brisket that has rested an hour. A tri-tip still ticking with heat. Summer cooking asks more of a board than any other season does — more weight, more heat, more juice, and a knife working hard against the grain.
That is what an end-grain butcher block is for. The fibers stand upright, so the blade settles between them instead of scarring across them, and a deep juice channel keeps the whole night off your counter.

The KHEM Serving Tray
A tray shouldn’t require an occasion. Precision joinery, engineered rails, and recessed handles cut flush to the sides — drawn and made in our Hudson Valley studio, hand-finished in food-safe Rubio Monocoat.
Three woods, each taking the finish differently. Cherry glows. Walnut deepens. Ash goes graphite-dark.

Care for Your Board
A well-maintained board lasts a lifetime. Wash by hand with warm water and mild soap — never soak or put in the dishwasher. Dry upright after washing. Oil monthly with food-safe Walrus Oil to keep the grain nourished and the surface protected. With time, your board develops a patina that's entirely its own.
