Chefs love using our boards in restaurants and cafes. Our serving trays, available with or without handles, can be custom laser engraved with personal designs or corporate logos.
At Australian Cutting Boards, our timber is kiln-dried for up to six weeks at 50-60°C. This controlled drying process ensures the perfect moisture level, reducing the chances of cracking or warping in the Camphor Laurel wood. As a result, our eco-friendly boards are durable and versatile for everyday use, including outdoor entertaining.
We personally use our boards and have found they don’t hold odours. After washing, they are odour-free, so you can confidently cut onion, garlic, chicken, beef, and fish on the same board.
We also offer handcrafted clay bowls made by a local potter on the Sunshine Coast. These earthy-colored bowls are perfect for dips, charcuterie, and antipasto, and complement our dipping boards.

Camphor Laurel wood contains natural antimicrobial compounds like camphor, cineole, and eugenol, which help reduce bacterial growth. While some plastic boards use chemical additives, Camphor Laurel’s antibacterial properties are entirely natural.
Though certain compounds can be toxic in purified form, there is no evidence that Camphor Laurel boards pose any risk for food contact. However, individuals with specific allergies may react to these compounds, similar to food allergies.
Camphor Laurel cutting boards have been shown to effectively reduce microbial growth, making them a safe and reliable choice for food preparation.

Answer: A cutting board made from Camphor Laurel which is a semi-hardwood with a tight grain will reduce scoring of the board with your knifes. The tight grain also repels dirt and moisture. These boards are very durable.
Pictures below show my cutting board which I have been using constantly for one year.
To begin the process of restoring it back to its original condition, Stuart put 40 grit sandpaper on his orbital sander and proceeded to remove the layer of oil which had built up.
He followed that process with 120 grit sandpaper on the orbital sander to smooth it out.
Next, soak it on both sides with lots of Grapeseed Oil. The results are fantastic!

Do not store your cutting board laying flat. It must be stored in an upright position between use to help stop cupping.
If cupping (warping) does occur, One way to fix the issue is to lay the cupping side up with a very damp cloth on the board. This helps to add moisture to the timber and stretch the cupping side back out.
