This board has found its kitchen. Ewald can make the next to order — the same design, cut in its own grain.
Each commission is made by hand, so the timber and grain will differ from the piece shown — close in design, never an identical copy.
Write to the workshopThe Langley is a walnut-led board with a quiet, moody face and a warm golden streak running through the centre. The darker outer frame gives the piece a composed edge, while the long-grain surface keeps the look calm rather than busy.
At 4 cm thick and close to 3 kg, it has proper counter presence. A juice groove, softened edges, recessed grips and rubber feet make it practical for daily prep, carving and serving, while the natural figure keeps each view of the board individual.
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.
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.
