Why is it Special?
Using attractive wooden cutting boards as serving platters is one of more rewarding kitchen hacks out there—and we promise this board won’t let you down.
Handcrafted in Canada from two beautiful North American hardwoods, black walnut and white oak, the single curved edge-grain construction provides these wooden cutting boards with refined character as well as toughness. The utility hole makes it easy to handle or hang when not in use.
The small wooden cutting boards are ideal for kitchen prep, sturdy for chopping and delivering ingredients into the pan. The larger cutting boards become gorgeous grazing boards for cheese, charcuterie, and desserts. The wood is finished with a food-grade mineral oil.
Care: We recommend hand washing with mild soap and drying with a clean towel.
Founded in 2009, Union Wood Company set its roots in creating high-quality handcrafted furniture from reclaimed wood. Scouring demolition sites and abandoned buildings for the best old wood, our designs were nostalgic of Vancouver’s forgotten industrial foundries, mills and docks: honest, raw and utilitarian.
While still inspired by these simpler times of the past, we’re constantly refining our approach and are working with a broader range of materials. Wood, leather or metal, we let the natural beauty of the material inform the design.
Envisioning the stunning contrast of textures and timeless elements, and finding that balance between form and function, is what really makes a Union Wood Co original shine.
Throughout our journey with wood, the design and creation always emphasizes quality and simplicity. We are driven to make meticulously crafted, timeless products for a more meaningful lifestyle. These are the pieces to keep for life.
STUDIO AND WORKSHOP
Located in the re-emerging Clark Drive Industrial District in East Vancouver, our neighborhood is much like the materials we work with: rich with patina, wear and history. Tucked away into a 5,500 sq ft building that was once part of Vancouver's most bustling Wool Mill, this space is a huge step up in capacity from our Railtown shop.
No strangers to renovating what was once soulless and vacant, we’ve spent countless hours putting our spin on this unique space whilst highlighting its industrial past. Union Wood Co’s studio resonates with the creativity and passion we have for our pieces. Adorned with a rotation of new creations, vintage finds, rows of wood samples and one-of-a-kind antiques, the workshop is in a constant state of change.
Customers, friends, strangers and domestic animals are all welcome to book an appointment with us and get inspired by the process of creating. Come during the day to see the shop in full production mode or at the end to catch the crew debriefing the day while the dust settles for the night.
