"Bold grain. Varied patterning. Natural colouring. Renowned durability. All are inspiration and part of the story behind our handcrafted larch wood cutting boards and chopping blocks."

In 2003 a small group of carpenters and wood workers purchased a 14,000 sq. ft. building in the community of Margaree, located on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada and Larch Wood Enterprises was established. 

"Knowing that end grain cutting boards were superior to alternative cheaper designs, we decided to craft end grain boards in a variety of sizes, highlighting the distinctive properties, bold and varied grain and natural golden hues of the larch – our classic small, medium and large kitchen cutting boards were born. We gave the first prototype boards to local chefs who used them for approximately 6 months before giving us two thumbs up for the quality, size and design of the boards."

Larch Wood currently employs a talented group of 22 craftspeople and skilled artisans with more than 100 years of combined woodworking experience amongst them. 

Trees are locally harvested in a sustainable manner with many trees supplied by small woodlot owners. 

"We feel privileged to live, work and raise our families in Margaree on Cape Breton Island."
