At the present time,
Barouke is the only source for
lignumvitae cutting boards in
the United States. Generally,
our cutting boards range in
age between 100 and 200
years based on the growth
rings.
The birth of this
gallery in 1994 was inspired
by lignumvitae, the hardest
and most dense wood in the
world. We started with just a
collection of lignumvitae
pieces, mortars & pestles,
cutting boards, wine goblets
among other items. This
precious hardwood is the
heart and soul of this
company, and will forever
have a place at Barouke.
