Why Buy from Wood Instaurator?

When you choose Wood Instaurator, you’re investing in more than just a beautiful cutting board—you’re supporting a passion project born from a genuine love of woodworking and a relentless drive for craftsmanship excellence. Every board is created through a journey of discovery, where traditional woodworking techniques meet innovative design thinking. I work primarily with premium hardwoods, such as Black Walnut, Hard Maple, and exotic species like Purpleheart, each chosen for its unique characteristics, strength, and beauty. The process of handcrafting these boards is meticulous, ensuring that every piece is not only functional but also a piece of art that deserves to be displayed.

At Wood Instaurator, I approach each new board design as an exploration of pattern and form. Each pattern I develop is carefully constructed in small, intentional batches of only a handful of boards, making them truly limited editions. Within each batch, boards will share a similar design, but subtle differences in grain and color tone ensure that each piece retains its own distinct personality. Once a pattern run is completed and sold, I don’t remake it for future batches. If you fall in love with a particular design and miss out, the only way to get a similar piece is through a custom order, making every board in these collections even more special.

This process allows me to experiment with new techniques and ideas, giving each batch its own story and inspiration. I might be working with bold geometric shapes in one batch and transitioning to intricate interwoven patterns in the next, but the focus is always on pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved through the interplay of different wood species. Because these designs are so limited, each board is an expression of my craft at that specific moment in time—a unique piece that won’t be repeated unless specially requested. This means when you purchase one of my boards, you’re not just acquiring a product; you’re owning a rare piece of functional art that’s part of a finite collection.

Whether you’re looking for a showpiece that elevates your kitchen’s aesthetic or a rugged workhorse to handle daily prep, I build each board to balance beauty and durability. Beyond aesthetics, end grain cutting boards are revered for their functionality. They’re gentler on your knives, self-healing, and resistant to scratches, making them an heirloom-quality investment you can count on for years. You’re not just purchasing a board—you’re owning a piece of craftsmanship with a story, built to perform and made with care.
