Our Story

Our limited collection of handcrafted, Japanese-inspired cutting boards have been created in partnership with skilled artisans—real people dedicated to crafting products that bring connection, functionality and beauty to your kitchen.

Shou Sugi Ban

Shou Sugi Ban, a traditional Japanese wood preservation technique, involves carefully charring the surface of wood to enhance its durability and beauty.

This age-old technique not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also ensures that our cutting boards are exceptionally durable, hygienic, and ideal for the demands of modern kitchens.

Sustainable

Our process begins with responsibly sourced timber and reclaimed logs, carefully cut into smaller blocks. Through expert craftsmanship, these blocks are transformed into beautiful boards, each piece telling the story of sustainability and an artisans craft.

    Beautifully crafted

    I was attracted by the shape of the board. Added to it, I liked the fact that it's keeping an age old craft alive and it's made in Australia. I have for now used it as a display for my house decor but would probably use it for entertaining as well.

    thank you for the great service

    My board is just right, I had seen my daughters board and just had to have one. I leave it out on the bench and it looks good. The order arrived so quickly, I was rather surprised. So thank you again.

    I received mine this week and have to say was disappointed. I expected a better standard and quality of wood - it had a whacking big divet in it down most of the face of the board (stamped side) as though it was a glued join but the other side suggested it wasn’t. There was also two very noticeable scratches (both about 5cm) on the other (under) side I thought could have and at the very least, should have been sanded out.

    I would never usually complain (especially publically) if it wasn’t a case of feeling ripped off. It honestly felt like I was send a ‘seconds’ and not even something I could gift, because its not to my usual standard of gift! It was certainly not what I expected for the price I paid.

    I'm sorry this didn't meet your expectations. The divot and scratches you're describing shouldn't have passed our quality control. We'll replace it or refund in full. Please look for an email from us, as we'll sort this out immediately. We would really love to inspect this unit and physically inspect the issues mentioned.
