A substantial striped edge-grain board with dark walnut bands, pale timber lines, juice groove and 4 cm depth.
The Helmsley is the boldest long-grain piece in this group, with dark walnut bands running the length of the board and pale strips giving it a clean, graphic rhythm. The design reads strongly from across a kitchen but stays orderly up close.
It is also the heaviest of this batch, just over 3 kg, so it feels planted for prep and carving. A juice groove, eased edges, recessed grips and rubber feet make the board practical as well as striking, suited to a counter where it can stay out between uses.
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.
