Boards
Handmade timber boards, made in Perth
We make seven kinds of board and platter in Perth from Western Australian offcuts. Use the table to match a board to the job: serving cheese, carving a roast, feeding a crowd, lifting a cake or playing chess. Every piece is a one-off, so photos show examples rather than stock.
