This Salt Box Sands Made is hand-made carefully selected American oak, and built to last for generations, which is a polite way of saying it will outlive the kitchen it starts in.

Keep it by the stove for a pinch mid stir, or fill it with coffee, tea, herbs, spices or sugar instead and let the salt fend for itself.

White oak is high density and durable in the kitchen. The timber is FSC certified, harvested from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits, and its natural strength keeps it stable through years of daily use.

A Mediterranean inspired ceramic board for cheese and serving, finished in deep blue.

Lay out a cheese course, a few slices of cured meat or an afternoon's antipasti, then wipe it clean and leave it out as part of the table.

Materials: Ceramic

A big, generous cutting and serving board from Sands Made, with an organic curved profile and a deep smoky colour that makes even a few crackers and a wedge of brie look like you made an effort.

Smoked oak is created through a traditional fuming process that coaxes the timber's own tannins to the surface, with no pigments involved. The process is random, so every board comes out differently depending on the tree it came from, anywhere from light to stripy to very dark, and the colour runs right through the thickness of the timber, so it will not scratch or wear off over time.

Produced with FSC certified timbers using non-toxic, food safe treatments. Sands Made use only FSC certified oak, guaranteeing the raw material meets the highest global standards for forest management.

Measurements: 47.3cm x 40.5cm x 1.2cm
