And so begins the Hinoki Countertops Project in Cleveland, Ohio.
It's a straight piece of timber measuring 7.5 metres in length.
The grain is beautiful and it will make a great countertop.
This long countertop will be cut in half and shipped to the United States.
Can you see where it has been cut and joined?
They're connected by the blue arrows.
And I will be installing these counters myself in Cleveland in February.
This is going to be an amazing and exciting year.
