A compact oak-and-walnut end-grain checkerboard with a juice groove, side grips and nearly 4 cm thickness.
The Barlow is a compact checkerboard with a strong oak-and-walnut rhythm. The smaller footprint makes it easier to move and wash, while the end-grain construction gives it the substance and knife-friendly character of a serious working board.
A juice groove frames the face for carving and wetter ingredients, with softened edges, recessed side grips and rubber feet underneath. It is a useful everyday size for vegetables, bread and table service, with enough visual presence to earn its place on the counter.
Pale gold, open-grained, and built for work - the classic European bench timber.
A pale honey-gold hardwood that deepens beautifully with age and oil. European Oak is strong, open-grained, and famously durable, long used in furniture, joinery, beams, and hard-working surfaces across Europe. Best for chopping boards and pieces that need to feel solid, practical, and made for real everyday use.
A dark, temperamental timber - quiet under oil, dramatic under light.
A deep chocolate-brown hardwood that develops warmer, sometimes violet undertones when oiled. Black Walnut is slightly softer than oak, with a richer, more expressive grain that makes it especially suited to serving boards, bowls, and pieces meant to be looked at as well as used. Durable enough for regular use, but prized just as much for its depth, contrast, and the way it ages beautifully.
Wash by hand with mild soap and warm water. Towel dry straight away and stand the board on edge until fully dry.
Do not soak, dishwash, or leave beside direct heat. Re-oil when the surface starts to look dry; for regular use, every 4-8 weeks is a sensible rhythm.
