Hei Matau Artisan Board with Pāua Inlay

Celebrate the artistry of Aotearoa with this Tui Grove original Hei Matau Artisan Board, crafted from premium acacia hardwood and featuring a pāua inlaid Hei Matau design.
Measuring 40 cm x 28 cm with a solid 4 cm thickness, it is designed for both beauty and performance in the kitchen.
A striking 6 cm Hei Matau design is inlaid with genuine New Zealand pāua shell, shimmering with iridescent hues of the ocean. The Hei Matau, or fish hook, is a treasured Māori symbol representing strength, prosperity, and safe passage over water — making this board a piece rich in meaning as well as function.
Crafted from durable yet gentle acacia wood, this board is resilient enough for daily use while remaining kind to your knives, as its moderate hardness helps prevent dulling.
Naturally rich in oils, acacia resists water and moisture, protecting against warping, cracking, and bacterial growth.
Whether used for preparation, as a stylish serving board, or displayed as a statement piece, this Tui Grove original unites heritage, fine craftsmanship, and practicality in one exceptional design.
 
Please Note:
We recommend washing this product by hand in warm, soapy water and drying it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid soaking or placing in the dishwasher, as excess water and heat may damage the wood and pāua inlay.
Apply a coat of food-grade mineral oil or beeswax to the surface once or twice a year (or as needed) to nourish the wood and maintain its lustre.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and warping.
Avoid cutting directly on the pāua inlay to preserve its shine and prevent scratching.
