About this piece
The Morton is the calmest piece in this batch: a warm single-timber board with a plain working face and a softly framed groove. It is less graphic than the checkerboards and striped pieces, which gives it a more everyday, understated character.
At 33 x 24 cm it is easy to handle, but the 3.7 cm thickness keeps it from feeling slight. Recessed grips, rubber feet and softened corners make it practical for daily prep, bread and serving, with a surface that will deepen in tone as the oil finish is renewed.
The timber
American Cherry
Prunus serotina · North America
Soft pinks, honey warmth, and a colour that only gets better with age.
A warm, reddish hardwood with a calm, refined grain that glows beautifully once oiled. American Cherry begins with soft pink, honey, and light brown tones, then gradually darkens into a richer amber-red patina with use and exposure to light. Softer than oak and maple, it makes a warm, characterful chopping board — as much about grain and warmth as everyday function. Ages gracefully.
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.
