Description

Crafted from durable cherry wood and finished with walnut oil, this cutting board by Akira Shoji is as beautiful to display as it is practical to use.

The gently twisted handle is comfortable to grip, making the board easy to carry from kitchen to table. Thoughtful details can be found throughout, including the softly chamfered edge that gives the board a lighter appearance and allows it to rest neatly when propped against a wall.

Designed with two distinct faces, the board offers different ways to use and enjoy it. Use the flat side when you want the largest possible cutting surface, or turn it over to appreciate the character of the chamfered side.

Whether used for slicing bread, serving cheese, or presenting small bites, it is a piece that invites everyday use. It is equally at home on the countertop as it is in use, with a sculptural form and beautiful grain that make it worthy of being kept on display.

Like all wooden tools, it develops character over time, growing richer and more beautiful with use.

Read before you purchase

Please note that these pieces are made from natural wood, so each one has its own character. The grain, color, and texture will vary. Because every piece is handcrafted, slight variations in size and shape will occur. These small differences are part of the charm of tools made by hand. Enjoy these natural differences as the individuality of the wood and the beauty of a one-of-a-kind piece.

• For light use, such as slicing bread, simply wipe clean with a cloth or paper towel.

• When washing is needed, hand wash with mild soap and warm water.
