AtBrooklyn Butcher Blocks, we believe in the art of fine craftsmanship. Founded in 2010 by Nils Wessell, our journey began with a passion for creating extraordinary cutting boards and butcher blocks. Today, we're proud to be recognized as one of the industry's leading names, with our products gracing kitchens worldwide.
Our commitment goes beyond just crafting beautiful kitchenware. We're dedicated to sustainability, sourcing all our materials from the USA and designing our product line to minimize waste. Even the smallest remnants from our workshop are composted, reflecting our deep respect for the environment.
Received a custom butcher block from Brooklyn Butcher Blocks for my retirement, and it's absolutely gorgeous. The attention to detail and quality of workmanship are unmatched. My sons really outdid themselves this time. Highly recommend!
Available in natural black or red slate, our cheese boards offer a distinctive surface for serving cheeses, charcuterie & hors d'oeuvres. Sourced from our family slate quarry in upstate New York, each rustic yet sophisticated cheese board features a natural edge and is packaged with a burlap bag, soapstone chalk for writing on your board, and anti-slip padded feet. Dishwasher safe.
Community boards of Brooklyn are New York City community boards in the borough of Brooklyn, which are the appointed advisory groups of the community districts that advise on land use and zoning, participate in the city budget process, and address service delivery in their district.[1]
Community boards are each composed of up to 50 volunteer members appointed by the local borough president, half from nominations by City Council members representing the community district (i.e., whose council districts cover part of the community district).[2][3] Additionally, all City Council members representing the community district are non-voting, ex officio board members.[3]60
The 1963 revision of the New York City Charter extended the Borough of Manhattan's "Community Planning Councils" (est. 1951) to the outer boroughs as "Community Planning Boards", which are now known as "Community Boards".[4][5]
The 1975 revision of the New York City Charter set the number of Community Districts/Boards to 59, established the position of the district manager for the community districts, and created the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) which gave the community boards the authority to review land use proposals such as zoning actions, and special permits.[4]

A fine layer of polyethylene covering the entire board efficiently protects the composite wood against water and any moisture being picking-up. Expansions recorded are very low, with only 1 mm per linear meter when exposed to a 30 variation temperature.
The board is completely rain-proof, and rain flows off without letting water penetrate the protected composite wood. UV-resistant additives are also added to this thin layer to avoid any fading over time.
Fiberdeck guarantees that, for a 15-year period under normal and correct service conditions, and under installation conditions in compliance with instructions written by Fiberdeck, BROOKLYN boards will not be subject to any defect related to their manufacturing, cracks, splinters, delamination, rotting or structural damage caused by fungi, wood-eating insect or termite attacks.
BROOKLYN decking is fully resistant to stains, and its radiance is sustained by a co-extrusion process, which covers the board with a pure polyethylene film to ensure perfect sealing of the coating. Maintenance is easier and is limited to simply rinsing with water.
These new dual-material clips help hold the stainless-steel screws in place during installation. Considerable time is saved during installation. Moreover, the universal stainless-steel screws are self-drilling in softwoods, exotic woods and aluminium joists.
A range of screw-in boards, identical to BROOKLYN boards, 22.5 x 138 mm section, but without grooves on the sides, may be used to create sundecks for swimming pools, stairs, floor openings and also a finishing strip around the deck.
