The keeper of the collection.
The cornerstone of the Signature Collection. The Archive brings the full mixed-grain palette of up to seven hardwoods to a generous 40mm gallery-grade form — a board built to be the centre of the table — a full grazing spread, a seafood platter or a roast — and the talk of it. Deep, dimensional grain; flawless hand finishing; weight that tells you it will outlast you. Each Archive carries its Certificate of Provenance and unique number — a record of exactly what it is and where it came from. A functional platter of the highest order, and a collected piece in its own right. One of one, made to be kept.

Questions
Before it comes home
How many people does The Archive serve?
As a guide, The Archive (700 × 400mm) holds a grazing spread for about 8–10 people — cheese, cured meats, seafood, fruit or bread.
Is a mixed-grain hardwood board safe for serving food?
Yes. The Archive is solid mixed hardwood, Australian timbers with American Oak, hand-oiled with a food-safe finish, made for bringing any food to the table.
What is the Certificate of Provenance?
Every piece ships with its own printed Certificate of Provenance: the timber species, where it was grown, the board's unique Board No. and the Maker's finishing notes. No two are alike, and the certificate proves it.
How do I care for The Archive?
Hand wash only and dry completely. After every use, oil it with Board Care Oil, then seal it with Board Care Balm: always oil first, then balm. Never soak, dishwash or leave in direct sun. A light sand and re-oil refreshes it for the next generation.
Can it be displayed when it's not in use?
Yes. Between gatherings it stands on display as a piece in its own right — each one is one of one.
