The "Kura" ("signifying a connection to heritage" in Japanese) board is ARTSN's longest cutting board, designed specifically for items that don't fit traditional square boards.
At 45cm x 25cm long with a distinctive rounded end, this board excels at handling baguettes, whole fish, asparagus bundles, and other elongated ingredients.
The rounded end isn't just aesthetic, it provides an ergonomic grip point when carrying the board from counter to table, making it perfect for serving as well as prep.
The dimensions give you professional-length cutting surface while taking up less counter depth than traditional square boards. Perfect for galley kitchens or narrow counters where width is limited.

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
