One of the most common questions we get in our Vermont retail store is: "what makes a Second a Second?"
The short answer is some bowls and boards do not meet our strict quality standards for first quality. Seconds are stamped w/ a small "S" next to our logo. Here are examples:
- a knot in the woodgrain
- markings from drying in the kiln (called checking)
- slight crack that was repaired
- size specifications
We always ensure all bowls and boards are still fully functional, structurally sound, and perfectly safe to use every day.
Many customers prefer second quality over first; not just for the break in price, but because they're even more unique. Wood naturally has its own distinct character, and seconds are no exception. SHOP SECONDS
