Grainwright

Tom Reyes mills his own lumber from trees that come down in New England storms — oak, walnut, cherry that would otherwise be cordwood. He lets the boards air-dry for two years in a barn loft before they ever meet a plane.

Grainwright pieces are finished with nothing but food-safe oil and wax, because a board should age in your kitchen, not arrive pretending it already has. Tom signs the underside of every one with a small branded mark.
