T&G Tuscany Large Chopping Board (TG-10943)

Made from materials only from well managed and sustainable sources, T&G are renowned for the quality of their products. We offer a selection of pieces from the trolleys, good housekeeping, marble and Tuscany ranges. In the Good Housekeeping, each piece has been tested and approved by the Good Housekeeping Institute and selected for its innovative and user-friendly design. Many of the products are made with Hevea wood(Braziliensis – wood from the rubber tree)This is a white tropical hardwood from the rubber tree, which is planted mainly for natural rubber production. The major rubber producing countries are Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand which together account for approximately 74% of the total plantation area. Hevea is very ecologically sound. After 25-30 years, when the trees are approximately 15 inches in diameter, they are unable to produce sufficient latex for conversion by the rubber factory, so they are felled and replaced by young trees. There is the added value of a very useful and attractive timber, which is hard and stable, reducing the likelihood of warping. The beautiful finish and light grain looks great on salad bowls as well as boards. Hevea can be successfully colour stained for co-ordination and waxed or oiled to seal the wood enhancing its appearance and prolonging its “working life”. All T&G Hevea products have been sealed with a non-toxic protective lacquer to enhance the appearance and to help prevent the absorption of water when washed. To clean simply wipe over the surface with a damp cloth or wash in warm soapy water, do not soak. As with all Woodware, hevea and acacia can dry out with use, so an occasional wipe with wood treatment oil or a mineral oil does much to restore the original natural appearance.

T & G Woodware was formed in 1975 and filled a gap in the market for quality woodware products. Reliability and imagination paid dividends with many firsts in the industry, including care and protection for chopping boards and lifetime guarantees for pepper and salt mills. T & G were also responsible for renaming 'rubberwood', the popular wood for furniture and kitchenware, as 'Hevea' a shortened version of the latin name hevea braziliensis. T & G prides itself on well designed, quality products that will stand the test of time.
