The first Bunbury Board was crafted in 2007 as a result of the Lisnavagh Timber Project. The project was established by William Bunbury in 2001 on his historic estate in Co. Carlow. Bunbury Boards are versatile and exceedingly stylish wooden chopping and cheese boards beautifully hand crafted from naturally felled woodland. As well as being eye catching and practical, each Bunbury Board comes with its own unique traceability report, providing the complete history of the tree from which it hails. A range of hardwoods are used to make sure Bunbury Boards stand the test of time, including oak, beech, ash, sycamore, cherry, elm and birch.
William of Bunbury Boards will be in store at Heal's Tottenham Court Road recreating the woodturner’s workshop. See below for details.
