The wood heat treatment process originated in Finland and involves treating the material at high temperatures ranging from 160–230°C using steam. The wood is heated for 48–96 hours without the use of chemicals. During this process, the sugars contained in the wood caramelize and moisture absorption is reduced. Heat treatment increases the material’s resistance to the growth of mold and bacteria while also giving the wood a darker color.
The collection includes wooden cutting boards designed for everyday use in the kitchen. Their proportions, thickness and finishing have been chosen for durability and ease of use. The material remains stable and resilient during daily use, and contact between the blade and the wood is more controlled than with synthetic surfaces.
This cutting board made of Thermoash has a dense grain structure and is highly resistant to warping caused by changes in humidity. The material retains its shape even during intensive use. The visible grain and deep colour are the result of the wood’s heating process.
Wooden cutting and serving board
Wooden cutting board can be used for preparing vegetables, bread and meat, as well as for serving ready-made meals. The heat-treatment process gives the wood a dark hue and a smooth finish that highlights the grain pattern. The thicker profile improves stability during use, whilst the simple form showcases the material without unnecessary decorative elements. Rounded edges enhance safety and give the board a softer, more refined appearance.
Wooden cutting boards, manufactured in Poland
These wooden cutting boards are handmade in Poland from wood sourced from Polish forests. The production process involves hand-finishing the surface and quality control at every stage. The collection has been designed with a focus on the material’s durability and everyday use.
Dark cutting board - made from Thermoash - is produced in Poland by a family-run business that specialises in woodworking.
