Solid wood goods for everyday use

Wood that gets better the more you use it

Cedar Crate Co is a small solid-wood home shop: boards, crates, trays, organizers and bath pieces in acacia, bamboo, teak, mango and oak. Chosen for grain, weight and the way they wear in rather than out.

Materials and craft

Five woods, picked for what each one does best

AcaciaDense, hard and closed-grain, with dark figure running through it. Our first choice for cutting and serving boards because it resists knife scoring and takes oil well.
BambooTechnically a grass, and a fast-growing one. Light, stiff and dimensionally stable in a steamy bathroom, which is why the bath trays and soap dishes use it.
TeakNaturally oily, so it shrugs off standing water. Used where things stay wet: shower soap holders and draining dishes.
Mango and oakOpen, expressive grain with real colour movement. Used for the decorative bowls, signs and frames where the surface is the point.

Every piece is solid wood or bamboo ply rather than printed board, so a scratch sands out instead of peeling. Grain, colour and knot pattern differ from item to item, which means the piece you receive will not be an exact match for the photo. We think that is the better trade.

More about the shop

Looking after wood

Four habits that take a board from a season to a decade.

01Hand wash, never the dishwasherWarm water, a little soap, then wipe dry. A dishwasher cycle soaks and then bakes the wood, which is what causes splitting and warping.
02Oil it when it looks thirstyFood-grade mineral oil, a cloth, and about ten minutes. Once a month for a board in daily use, a few times a year for everything else.
03Dry it standing upLet air reach both faces. A board left flat on a wet counter takes on water from one side only and cups as it dries.
04Sand out what bothers youFine grit, with the grain, then re-oil. Solid wood is the one surface in your kitchen that can be repaired at home.
