Timber Cutting Boards

Nothing quite compares with the look, feel and natural advantages of a cutting board made from a single piece of 100% Aussie timber.

Our boards are produced from Australian Camphor Laurel - a wood that is natuarally anti-bacterial, kind to your knives and smells nice to boot!

Sustainable

Our boards are made from Australian Camphor Laurel Timber (cinnamomum camphora) with Red Gum handles that come from sustainable resources.

Camphor Laurel is an introduced species originally hailing from Asia and was introduced to Australia in the 1820s.

Since it was introduced in 1822 it has spread right along eastern Australia.

Whilst undeniably attractive, Camphor Laurel has proven to be an unwelcome guest.

Camphor Laurel is quick to replace native species and to invade pastures.

For these and other reasons, Camphor Laurel is classified a Class 3 plant (unable to be planted and removal recommended) in Queensland with similar "Not Welcome" signs hung out in other states.

However, the simple removal and destruction of these trees makes little economic or environmental sense. Government resources are not available to publicly fund significant eradication and it is thought the best solution to the Camphor Laurel problem lies in making a virtue of necessity.

So value adding, by using the timber to produce camphor oil or furniture, cutting boards, doors, step treads etc, is a more practicable way of reducing the stock of these unwanted trees.

Anti-Bacterial

An obvious by-product of Camphor Laurel is the distinctive camphor oil which was used medicinally; in incense; as a food flavouring and in the production of smokeless gunpowder and celluloid film.

Camphor oil contributes to the naturally Anti-Bacterial properties of cutting boards.

These properties offer a rich smell and texture and coupled with a unique design produces a chopping board that makes an attractive, sustainable and environmentally positive statement.

After being University tested and proven to be the best timber for cutting boards and food preparation these Australian made boards stand out even more as the best product and choice.
