Product Description

"A Connection to Heritage" in Japanese

A single piece of hardwood, hand-charred using Yakisugi - the Japanese technique of preserving wood through fire.

These boards feature our original beeswax and mineral oil finish - the finish we used before moving to our current plant-based curing oil. Side by side with our latest boards, the finish looks and feels different. That's why we're offering these as studio samples rather than Signature Series boards.

Studio Samples may have minor surface imperfections or slight movement when used for cutting. Guaranteed for serving - not recommended as a primary cutting board.

Sold as-is at a discount.

Sizing

45cm x 25cm x 2cm (17 3/4" x 9 3/4")

Material

Solid hardwood, single piece

Finishing

Shou Sugi Ban (Charred with Fire)
Beeswax and mineral oil

This is an authentic ARTSN piece. Studio samples may be sample units, prototypes, photography pieces, and seconds from our studio archives or past batches. Every board is fully functional as a serving board, some carry small quirks from development, which is why they never joined our main collection.

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

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, easy to clean, and ideal for the demands of modern kitchens.

Sustainable

Our process begins with plantation-grown hardwood or sourced offcuts, 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.
