Don't take our word for it. Watch the board do the work.
Four things people ask before they buy - answered in a few seconds each.
The Proof
The Water Test
Same water. Same pour. Completely different result.
Regular Wood
Absorbs. Stains. Warps.
Water soaks into the surface and deep into the grain, where it stains and warps.
ARTSN — Fire-Treated
Repels. Beads. Protects.
Water can't penetrate the charred carbon surface. It beads into perfect spheres and rolls away. No staining. Resists bacteria.
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, 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.
What ARTSN Customers are saying
Amazing quality. This is a great cutting board.
These boards were super appealing to me as I wanted wooden boards that didn't retain moisture - I live in a humid location. Water does just roll off of these and after about two months of use, they still look great! I was also attracted the quality, craftsmanship and aesthetic so bought the duo and went back for the third largest one because I was so happy with them. If they did one with an etched in steak juice border, I'd buy that too. Overall, the best boards I've ever used and worth the investment - no nasty micro-plastics.
Exactly why yakisugi works so well in humid climates - the carbon layer repels moisture rather than absorbing it. Three boards and counting. Thank you.
Absolutely gorgeous cutting board that arrived in beautiful gift box. I love the feel of the knife cutting into the wood. It is not the hard abrasive feel of plastic boards. Will definitely by again, especially as a gift
I love this board, i am a food professional for 34 years and im very pleased with the performance of this board. It wipes clean easily and has a great weight to it. Knife marks make the board even cooler, they just meld into the board like they’ve always been there. Super cool purchase, I’m very satisfied customer. I bought the biggest one available, worth the expense!
Excellent board. Exactly as described. The best chopping board we have had
I have purchased a couple of different sizes of the Artsn chopping boards and love them. Easy to clean and look fabulous against my Japanese handles knives. . This larger board now rounds out all of the sizes that I use. The wait for the next batch was worth it No micro plastics to worry about. Highly recommend.
Charred boards and Japanese knives are a perfect match. Glad the Kura rounds it out. Thanks Lorraine.
