The Amanprana Qi-board: Wooden Cutting Board, Cheese Platter, Bread Board

The naturally antibacterial and antifungal Qi-board by Amanprana.
A handmade cutting board crafted from a single piece of wood, no glue used.

Camphor Laurel wood contains natural antimicrobial essential oils. You’ll smell them right away. Hence the wood is perfect for the exceptionally hygienic Qi-board cutting board. Thanks to our HACCP certification it can also be used in professional kitchens.

It’s a perfect platter for bread and cheese, can be used for cutting or as a serving tray.

The Qi-board makes a lovely gift. Our Qi-boards are handmade by craftsmen, and each board has its own form and unique grain.

Don’t worry, it’s not rain forest wood, and the exotic camphor laurel tree is being thinned out on the eastern coast of Australia to make way for native
eucalyptus trees.

Camphor laurel wood has many unique natural qualities. It is soft and does not blunt knives, but is also sufficiently durable and sturdy to withstand over 20 years of use.

The Qi-board is crafted from a single block, so there’s no glue, chemical substances or plastic that will taint your food.

Amanprana Qi-boards are unique wooden cutting boards

The wooden cutting board has a wonderful scent. The Qi-boards are crafted from wood from the Hon-Sho. It’s also known as the camphor laurel and originally comes from Southern China, Formosa, Ceylon, India, Java and Sumatra. The wood naturally contains a lot of antibacterial essential oils, which makes the cutting board so unique.

From One Piece of Wood and Without Pressed Wood or Glue

Every Qi-board is unique because it is crafted by hand in a small workshop. The Qi-board is made from one solid piece of wood. The handles are carved out of the wood on the bottom of the cutting board. This makes the cutting board of high quality. No water can penetrate into the cutting board and the firmness is optimal. Not only does every wood have its own structure, shape and pattern, the way the cutting boards are made is different for each piece of wood. This way, the natural and unique grain structure of the wood remains intact and every Qi-board is truly one of a kind.

A good cutting board is user-friendly, hygienic to clean and also poison-free and durable: everything the Amanprana Qi-board has to offer. Most other wooden cutting boards are made of pressed wood or several piece of wood glued together. Over time, this wood can become loose and the glue can migrate into your food.

Amanprana Qi-board made from Camphor Laurel

Camphor laurel is a wonderful material for wooden cutting boards. The wood is soft enough so that the blade does not become blunt but hard enough to prevent the knife from cutting too deeply into the wood. Because of the camphor laurel, the wood of the cutting board is warm, soft and smooth. And because of this top quality wood, you will be able to enjoy your Qi-board for years to come.

Hygienic Thanks to the Camphor Laurel

A Qi-board naturally contains the antibacterial camphor oil. Upon purchasing the Qi-board, the cutting board will have a strong camphor oil fragrance. The fragrance will lessen after a couple of uses, but the cutting board will continue to smell wonderfully fresh for a long time.
