Primitive Boards are boards with a mission: these boards are hand-crafted in the Dublin Mountains and for every board sold, one new tree is planted.
Primitive Boards are hand crafted by me, Radek Mara with the intent to create serving and chopping boards so good, you’ll never want to serve or cook with any other board. They are tested and co-developed by professional chefs for durability and size.
The name Primitive comes from my childhood nickname I was given by my friends as we spent most of our childhood in the nearby forest building tree houses, carving simple cutting boards and watching wildlife.
30 years later I returned back to carving wood as a way to focus on creating beautiful, sustainable gifts.

Want to slice 'n dice without chasing your warping board on the counter top? This board is made just for that. What seperates our chopping boards from the sea of other boards is our painstaking handmade process and testing. Each type of board is tested by professional chefs for quality and ergonomics prior to manufacturing.
It was made to handle heavy cutting & slicing at home or in a commercial setting. To make the board last you a lifetime we strenghtened it with two marine-grade stainless steel rods. Isn't too overkill for home use? Maybe. But that is how we make things.
Primitive Boards are designed to suit commercial kitchens as well as cooking enthusiasts at home. Though it may seem counter intuitive to choose a wooden surface that can’t be heat sterilized over a plastic surface that can, the proof is in the science. Wooden boards use capillary action to absorb bad bugs from the cutting surface pores. Once bacteria is trapped inside the wood’s cells it suffocates, cut-off from the oxygen it needs to survive.
We believe that truly sustainable products are only the ones that you don't have to replace. That is why we only sell pieces we are confident that will last a lifetime. However if your Primitive Board gets damaged we will fix it or replace it free of charge.

Purchased mine a year ago and it still looks as good as when we received it! Can’t recommend primitive boards enough, each board is one of a kind and we love serving food on our one, its beauty and craftsmanship is always admired by our guests!
Stunning work. Such amazing craftsmanship in such a beautifully personalised gift. I would highly recommend and can't wait to order again.
