About this piece
The Leyburn is an end-grain European beech chopping board with a mosaic of pale, honey and warm brown blocks. Its 42 x 24.5 cm working face has room for bread, vegetables and daily preparation, then carries cheese and small bites to the table. The exposed end grain gives the face its block pattern, with growth rings and varied figure visible across the surface.
Softened corners and edges keep the rectangular shape comfortable to handle. At 3 cm thick and 2.45 kg, the board has a substantial working profile without the depth of a large butcher's block. It is finished with food-safe oil and wax, with the Timbermere mark on the side.
The timber
European Beech
Fagus sylvatica · Germany
Quiet, pale, and practical - the dependable workhorse of European hardwoods.
A pale, creamy hardwood with a fine, even grain and a calm, understated character. European Beech is harder than cherry and walnut, making it a dependable choice for everyday boards, kitchen tools, and functional pieces that need to stand up to regular use. Its subtle colour and smooth surface let the form of the piece do the talking. Simple, honest, and quietly durable.
Care instructions
Wash by hand with mild soap and dry promptly. Do not soak or put in a dishwasher. Allow both faces to dry after cleaning, and refresh with food-safe board oil and wax when the beech begins to look dry.
