About this piece

The Meridian is a long-grain oak board with dark walnut linework running across one end and along the sides. It has a cleaner, more architectural feel than the end-grain boards, with the linear grain giving the face a calm serving-board character.

At 4 cm thick it still feels substantial, with a juice groove, side grips and rubber feet for practical use. It suits bread, cheese, fruit and table service as much as everyday prep. The contrast strips add definition while leaving plenty of open timber visible.

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 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.

Care instructions

Wash by hand with mild soap. Towel dry. Re-oil every 6-8 weeks with food-safe oil.
