Welcome to Brooklyn Butcher Blocks

I am Nils Wessell, a woodworker living and working in Brooklyn.  While my workshop may be humble, you'll see that simplicity, functionality and elegance define my work.  I do it all: custom cutting boards, cheeseboards, serving platters, knife racks, butcher blocks, countertops, table tops, repairs and resurfacing services.

This end grain block utilizes a brickwork pattern inspired from the brick buildings and brownstones of Brooklyn. An advantage of offsetting the bricks is that it is inherently a stronger joint than your typical checkerboard pattern.
