Resin gifts have become popular for good reason. A handmade timber and resin board is beautiful to look at, useful every week, and different every time, because no two are ever the same. Here's why a resin board makes such a good present, and what to look for when you choose one.
It gets used, not put away
Plenty of gifts end up in a cupboard. A serving board comes out every time there's cheese and crackers, a long lunch or friends dropping round. Our boards are around 600 mm long, with room for a proper spread, so the gift becomes part of the get-togethers it was bought for.
No two are the same
Every board is made by hand, one at a time, in East Gippsland. The timber grain is different in every piece, and the resin is poured by hand, so the board you give is the only one like it. That's what makes resin gifts feel personal: nobody else will give the same thing.
A little of the Australian landscape
Many of our boards are set with native flowers, leaves and seed pods gathered on our property in East Gippsland, pressed, dried and sealed in resin. Others are poured in colour, like our blue resin boards. Either way, each one carries a sense of place, which makes it a lovely gift for anyone who loves Australian nature, or misses it.
It suits almost any occasion
A resin board works for a wedding, a housewarming, an anniversary or a birthday, and for people who seem to have everything. If you'd like it to match someone's home or colours, a custom board lets you choose your resin colours.
Easy to give, near or far
Every board arrives beautifully boxed, with free delivery Australia-wide, so it's simple to send to someone interstate. Some of our customers have carried boards overseas as a gift from home, a piece of Australia to give family and friends abroad.
How to look after a resin board
A little care keeps a board looking good for years:
- Wipe it with a damp cloth, with a little detergent if needed, and dry it straight away.
- Don't put it in the dishwasher or leave it soaking in water.
- Don't use knives on the resin, which will scratch and dull the surface. Use a separate chopping board.
- Oil the timber now and then with a food-grade mineral oil, coconut, linseed, tung oil or beeswax. Avoid vegetable or olive oil, which can turn rancid.
- Keep it out of long periods of direct sun, which can yellow resin over time.
