Award winning chef Don Cruickshanks, originally from Halifax, NS and currently resident Chef at the Napolean Retail Centre in Barrie, Ontario has been using a Larch Wood Carver’s board for 3 years. A former instructor at Toronto’s Georgian college, Don has a lifetime love of food that has seen him cooking around the world. A team manager for a bronze medal winning team at the Hotel Olympia in London, England is one of the many awards and contests this affable chef has collected.
“I find my board a treat to work on. It is easy on my knife edges and is extremely durable. The board is a real work of art. I get great comments from people all the time.”
While not cooking for Napolean events, Don is cooking up intimate dinner parties with his private catering company. At Taste the World and the CGTA show in Toronto, see Don using his Larch Wood board at the live kitchen creating delights from all over the world….this chef knows no limits!

How nice to find out that these are considered “good design”. Having used one for the past few months (I got one for Christmas), I can say that they are exceptionally well made and really pretty. As I write, the board is sitting comfortably beside my Alessi Bird Whistle kettle, and is looking way better designed! Carly S

woah… the patterning of this wood is intense!I love that it’s not cosmetic though – pure function. The WoodGuy

These are absolutely stunning. I just went to their website and they also do flooring. I’m not in the market, but I will definitely mention this to my folks who are re-building their cottage.

A bunch of my family members are proud owners of larch wood cutting boards and we’re always encouraging others to invest in them as well. Anyway, kudos for picking this one up and the great blog!

After 40 years of marriage it’s hard to find anything I “need” for the kitchen, but I needed a larch wood board when I saw it. Actually, it’s a beautiful piece of kitchen art!

Larch Wood’s cutting boards are beautiful and functional. I have been a Chef for 35 years and know a good board when I see it. The end grain design is easy on my knives. I absolutely love the appearance of this board.” Chef Jean Pierre Gillet Bras d’Or Lakes Inn, Cape Breton Island

I love handmade…earthy things! My wife and I purchased two boards. One we use as a cheese board and the other we use to cut vegetables. When the longer buffet board is not in use, we display it in the kitchen. It’s unique and I love talking about it when people visit. Jeff S

Having been involved in the kitchenware, knife and sharpening business for 20 years, we were thrilled to meet Don from Larch Wood. His beautiful heirloom boards immediately caught our attention at the Toronto Trade Show. After discussing the merits of these works of art, with Don; we placed our first of many orders. Our customers can’t help but touch and feel these boards when they see them in the store. I have used one for “demonstration” purposes, and it is amazing how well these boards hold up to heavy chopping, while being extremely gentle on the integrity of my edge. Larch Wood has been great to deal with, and their superb product is truly “heirloom”. Al Brooks Owner Chef’s Edge
