Unique pieces with character: Why every handmade board is a work of art
In a world of mass production and one-size-fits-all, there are still things that are unique - and that includes handcrafted cutting and serving boards. Each of these boards tells a story: from the tree it came from , to the grain that is never the same twice , to the craftsmanship that completes it .
🌳 No two boards are the same – The beauty of nature
When you hold a handmade cutting board made of solid wood in your hand, you are holding a unique piece . No two pieces of wood are the same, as the grain is influenced by natural processes such as growth, weather and soil conditions.
- Knotholes tell stories – they are the scars of nature and make each board unique.
- Annual rings & structure – They show the age of the tree and give the wood its individual pattern.
- Colour nuances & contrasts – From warm walnut to vibrant ash to rustic oak – each wood has its own character.

✨ Care for eternity – your unique piece deserves attention
To ensure that your handmade board lasts a lifetime, it needs proper care:
- 🛢️ Oil regularly – Natural oil (e.g. walnut or linseed oil) keeps the wood protected.
- 💦 Do not soak in water – wood can swell, so only wipe with a damp cloth.
- 🌬️ Allow to dry standing up – this will preserve the shape.
- 🔪 Cut on the right side – If your board has a serving side and a cutting side.
