Larch Wood Cutting Boards
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. Initially Larch Wood made flooring products at the facility but after only 2 years in business they realised that they needed to expand their product catalogue. Knowing that end grain cutting boards were superior to alternative cheaper designs, they 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. Larch Wood's trees are locally harvested in a sustainable manner with many trees supplied by small woodlot owners. They pay the woodland owners more than market value for their logs to promote a healthy holistic business.
