Handcrafted timber breadboards, chopping boards & serving platters.
Made by hand. Built to last a lifetime.
John has spent over 40 years working with timber โ first as a master heritage joiner and carpenter, crafting Victorian doors and sash windows across Adelaide. Now semi-retired, he channels that lifetime of skill into something a little closer to the kitchen table.
Every board that leaves John's workshop is made entirely by hand, from selecting the right timber to the final oil finish. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just the same pride in craft he's brought to every job for four decades.
When you buy a Knot Any Old Board, you're not buying something off a production line. You're buying a piece of genuine Australian craftsmanship โ and probably the last breadboard you'll ever need.
Each piece is unique. Same timber, different grain. That's the beauty of working with a natural material.
Deep grain, smooth finish, perfectly weighted. Available in a range of sizes and timber species to suit your kitchen.
Thick, sturdy, and built for everyday use. End grain or face grain โ John will help you choose the right one.
Beautiful enough to be the centrepiece of any table. Perfect for cheese nights and charcuterie spreads.
John hand-selects every piece of timber for grain, character and quality.
Each board is cut, shaped and planed by hand in John's Adelaide workshop.
Multiple rounds of sanding to a silky smooth finish, then food-safe oil applied.
Carefully packaged and shipped to your door anywhere in Australia.
