About this piece
The Cliffe is a smaller end-grain board with the same visual language as the larger brick-pattern pieces: pale blocks, dark walnut lines and a neat framed working face. Its lower weight and shorter length make it especially easy to reach for every day.
The end-grain face is forgiving under a knife and the 3.4 cm thickness still gives the board useful substance. A juice groove, recessed grips, rubber feet and softened corners make it practical for chopping, carving small joints or laying out bread and cheese.
The timbers
European Oak
Quercus robur · Germany
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.
Black Walnut
Juglans nigra · North America
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 a striking choice for a chopping board 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.
Care instructions
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.
