Fire-charred surface repels water and resists bacteria naturally

Single piece hardwood — no glue, no joints, no laminate

Sealed finish with food-grade oil and hardwax blend

Product Description

"Joy" in Japanese
A single piece of hardwood, hand-charred using Yakisugi - the Japanese technique of preserving wood through fire.

The charring isn't decorative. It hardens the surface, draws out the grain, and creates a natural carbon layer that repels water, resists bacteria, and doesn't stain.

33 x 35cm. Round silhouette with a squared edge. This is the board that goes to the centre of the table - cheese, charcuterie, bread, conversation. Everyone reaches in from every angle. Equally at home on the wall when it's not on the table.

Sizing

33cm x 35cm x 2cm (13" x 13 3/4")

Material

Teakwood

Finishing

Shou Sugi Ban (Charred with Fire)
Foodgrade MIneral Oil and Hardwax (Beeswax + Canauba wax blend)

焼杉板 · The proof

Don't take our word for it. Watch the board do the work.

Four things people ask before they buy - answered in a few seconds each.

The Proof

The Water Test

Same water. Same pour. Completely different result.

Regular Wood

Regular Wood

Absorbs. Stains. Warps.

Water penetrates the surface, carrying bacteria deep into the grain where cleaning can't reach.

vs
ARTSN — Fire-Treated

ARTSN — Fire-Treated

Repels. Beads. Protects.

Water can't penetrate the charred carbon surface. It beads into perfect spheres and rolls away. No staining. No bacteria entry.

    Stunning!

    My Artsn board is absolutely stunning! The black really bring out the grain and makes it a real piece of art.

    I’m so looking forward to using this board and watching how it grows character with use.
