Why this board
The board, and the wood it is cut from.
This elegant cutting board is a true culinary masterpiece, meticulously handcrafted from the finest American black walnut wood. The rich tones and beautifully varied grain patterns make each board a unique work of art. The walnut wood is prized for its exceptional density yet forgiving surface that is gentle on your sharpest Japanese knives while providing sturdy resilience for years of daily use. The artisans have purposely left out any glues, treating the solid wood board with food-safe mineral oil instead for a natural, unblemished surface.
The straight edges and slightly rounded corners create a spacious work area, with the option of conveniently integrated hand grips on the sides for easy lifting and maneuverability. These thoughtful side handles allow complete control as you transfer the board seamlessly between tasks.
An ultra-smooth hand-planed finish is accentuated by a final application of all-natural beeswax and walnut oil for butter-like smoothness and a subtle, food-safe sheen. This low-maintenance finish resists moisture, stains, and odors for lasting quality. Whether used for precision slicing or rustic chopping, this heirloom-quality walnut board makes a luxurious and highly functional centrepiece for your kitchen skills to truly shine. Built to stand the test of time, it elegantly marries timeless craftsmanship with modern culinary performance.

Where it is made
The board makers of Aomori.
In northern Japan, a small mill has processed Hiba cypress for cutting boards for more than a century. The wood comes from forests where Hiba grows slow and tight — dense enough to last fifty years, soft enough not to dull a Japanese edge.
Each board is cut, edge-trimmed, sanded by hand, and signed on the underside by the maker. The first oiling is done at the mill with food-safe camellia oil, so the board arrives already smelling of cypress.
Care, briefly
Two habits keep a board for life.
01.
Hand wash, dry standing up.
Warm water, a soft sponge, mild dish soap. Never the dishwasher — heat splits the wood. Stand it on edge to drain so air reaches both sides.
02.
Oil it once a month.
A teaspoon of food-safe camellia or mineral oil, wiped on with a soft cloth. Let it soak ten minutes, wipe off the excess. Stops the wood drying out.
03.
Never leave it wet.
Standing water rots the surface. After washing, dry it within sixty seconds. A board is forgiving of everything except a wet sink overnight.
