The Journey of a Cutting Board

From raw slab to finished heirloom, every board begins with a hand-selected hardwood—walnut, maple, ash, or cherry—chosen for beauty and durability.

  • Cutting & Jointing: Precision-cut and flattened on Felder & Hammer machinery in our Ras Al Khor workshop.
  • Planing & Sanding: Hand-finished for a smooth, splinter-free surface.
  • Gluing & Clamping: Strips bonded with food-safe glue and clamped for lasting strength.
  • Shaping & Detailing: Organic edges, juice grooves, and personalized refinements crafted by hand.

Food-Grade Mineral Oil Finish

Each board soaks in food-grade mineral oil for over 30 minutes, allowing deep fiber penetration. A final beeswax buff delivers a natural, glowing finish—safe for everyday use and perfect for gifting.
