The Etsu ("joy" in Japanese) board breaks from tradition with its distinctive round silhouette and unexpected squared edge detail.

At 33cm x 35cm, this serving board is designed to be seen, a conversation-starting centrepiece that performs as beautifully as it looks. 

The round shape isn't just aesthetic. It encourages communal gathering, with everyone having equal access from any angle. Perfect for the center of your table or kitchen island.

Why the round shape transforms entertaining: The round format creates a focal point that draws guests in. The squared edge detail adds modern sophistication while the charred shou sugi ban finish provides dramatic contrast against colorful foods.

This board makes every gathering feel special. Form meets function in striking harmony

about ARTSN boards
While other cutting boards absorb stains, harbour odours and deteriorate over time,  our fire-charred surface creates protection that conventional boards simply cannot match.

ARTSN boards are made of Teakwood, charred and finished with shou sugi ban, then treated with food grade mineral oil, hard wax, beeswax and carnauba wax blend.

shou sugi ban (or yakisugi) is a 300-year-old, traditional Japanese wood preservation technique, which involves carefully charring the surface of wood to enhance its durability and beauty.

When fire meets wood at precisely controlled temperatures, something remarkable happens. The surface transforms into carbon, creating a naturally water-repellent layer where liquids bead up rather than soak in. 

The heat also raises and pronounces the wood's grain pattern, producing a textured landscape that naturally camouflages the everyday knife marks that would be obvious on smooth boards.

Beyond aesthetics, the carbon surface provides practical benefits:
- liquid beads and rolls off instead of absorbing into the wood
- pronounced grain texture blends knife marks into the pattern
- natural variations mean your board only becomes more characterful with use
- no chemical sealers - just fire-transformed wood and natural oils
