Sometimes you just need a beautiful board.
Not just any cutting board, but a board that can complement your kitchen, withstand daily use without becoming frayed or warped, and a board that you can look at and enjoy for many years.
'Not just a board' is a beautifully crafted cutting board in solid oak, smoked oak or walnut that can bring life to a Corian countertop or a kitchen environment with stainless steel and smooth surfaces.
'Not just a board' is a minimalist board without handles, juice grooves, brass details or other quirks.
With With this design I strive to create a minimalist board that is in harmony and has a visual expression that clearly indicates that a board can be more than "just a board"
If you want laser engraving, it will be done free of charge.
'Not just a board' is made in a number of standard sizes, but you are welcome to contact me if you have a desired size or, for example, want your board with a leading edge. Email to torben@rune-jakobsen.dk - We will of course make minor changes to standard sizes free of charge.
All our wood products are made from high-quality, dried furniture wood that meets the requirements of ISPM 15 (International Standards For Phytosanitary Measures No. 15).
This means that all products are made from wood that has undergone a heat treatment where the wood is heated to 60 - 65 °C for 6-8 weeks.
A Thoughtful Alternative to Mass-Produced Cutting Boards
Most cutting boards available today are mass-produced in high-volume factories—typically in Asia or Eastern Europe—where material quality and craftsmanship take a back seat to efficiency. We take a different approach.
Custom Made in Denmark – One Board at a Time
Each cutting board is handcrafted to order in our Danish workshop near the North Sea. We work exclusively with solid FSC-certified oak, smoked oak or walnut—carefully chosen for its durability, grain, and visual character.
No stock. No mass production. Every piece is made individually for you, with careful attention to timber selection, tone, texture and finish—resulting in a genuinely one-of-a-kind product that blends function and form.
Scandinavian Craftsmanship and Precision
We consider our cutting boards as a part of the kitchen experience—both practical and aesthetically refined. Each board is hand-sanded in several stages to achieve a smooth, tactile surface, and then treated with a food-safe, natural oil to protect and enhance the wood.
Built for Daily Use and Long-Term Enjoyment
Whether you're preparing everyday meals or hosting weekend dinners, these boards are designed to last. Made from solid, sustainable hardwood, they will develop a rich patina over time—growing more beautiful with use.
Standard Sizes and Custom Options
You’ll find a range of standard formats in our online shop. We also offer free adjustments to size or proportions—just include your preferences when placing your order.
Returns Accepted – Even on Custom Orders
Every piece of wood is unique, and if your board doesn’t quite match your expectations, we offer a full return policy, including for custom-made items.
We only use carefully curated FSC certified furniture wood. The primary woods are oak, smoked oak and walnut. In addition, we offer a number of special types of wood that are sold in conjunction with special orders, e.g. Teak, ash, chestnut, golden rain, cherry, wengé, zebrano, beech, etc.
We finish all products with a high-quality wood oil, but if you would prefer e.g. an oil with a white pigment, we can of course do that too - the desired final treatment can be mentioned under the remarks of the ordering.
If you do not find what you are looking for on this page, or if you have questions, we can be contacted by phone +45 4243 4393 or mail.
NOTE that we are always trying to create unique and elaborate products with an exciting visual expression and colour profile. You should therefore take our product photos with a grain of salt and not as a guarantee of how the finished product looks.
Remember, wood is a living material. There are no two pieces of wood that are identical, so all product photos are only indicative.
You can do a little surfing on our website and see examples of products we have made in the different woods to get a better impression of the colour variations of the woods, structure and expression.
If you are in any doubt about choosing a type of wood for a product, you are welcome to contact us for a chat about the possibilities. We gladly counsel and seek to inspire 😊

Real Products, Honest Pictures
At our core, we are all about the craft and the product itself. To give you the most authentic impression possible, we have chosen to take our own product photos.
Every image you see of our wood products is of a real item we have crafted for a customer. To ensure the best possible presentation, we may digitally adjust sharpness and colours or place the product in a relevant setting using artificial intelligence to better show it in a natural context.
A Guide to Variants
We are constantly expanding our product gallery. As many of our products come in a multitude of sizes and variations, we do not yet have photos of every single one. The image displayed when you make your selection primarily illustrates the chosen type of wood – not necessarily the specific size or design variation.
Every Piece of Wood is Unique
Wood is a living, natural material, and our passion is to create unique products with character. The grain and play of colours will therefore naturally vary from one product to the next. Please consider our photos as a source of inspiration and an indication of the high quality we deliver.
Any questions? We're happy to help.
Do you have questions about a design, size, type of wood, or do you have special requests? Please don't hesitate to contact us at info@rune-jakobsen.dk, and we will guide you to the right choice before you order.

Why choose a board from Rune-Jakobsen Design?
Our range of handmade cutting boards help you with your cooking and dress up any kitchen or dining table.
We make everything from small chopping boards to huge display boards, so you can definitely find a cutting board with us that matches your wishes and needs.
The vast majority of cutting boards on the market are mass-produced in Asia or Eastern Europe - but with us you will only find hand-made, Danish-produced quality products in oak or walnut made in our own joinery.
The cutting boards are made individually to order, and we make every effort to give each board a beautiful, harmonious and individual look.
The small difference that makes the big difference!
Unlike many other cutting board manufacturers, we consider a cutting board as a piece of furniture that must be made with care.
We spend time creating a harmonious and visual expression. We prioritize spending time on both coarse, medium and fine sanding with washing down between each sanding, so that the end result is a cutting board with a silky smooth finish that patinas beautifully so you can enjoy it for many years without it becoming rough and tedious to look and feel.
In other words, we do not make "buy cheap - use and throw away" cutting boards
Only solid FSC certified furniture wood is used for all our designs. Likewise, the production of cutting boards is under the control of the Danish Food Agency.

RETURN RIGHT
When you order a unique cutting board in the webshop without having "seen it in reality", there will always be a built-in uncertainty as no two boards are ever the same or have the same expression - so perhaps the result was not quite as you had imagined or expected.
That is why there is a full right of return on all cutting boards - even if they are custom-made.
