About this piece
The Skipton is built from alternating American cherry and American tulipwood blocks, exposing the end grain in a clear checkerboard working face. The warm red-brown cherry and pale tulipwood make the construction easy to read while giving the board a distinctive, balanced pattern.
At 33.5 x 32 cm and 4.5 cm thick, it provides a compact near-square surface with enough mass to stay settled during everyday prep. It weighs 2.9 kg, has softly finished edges and a plain working face without a juice groove.
The timbers
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.
American Tulipwood
Liriodendron tulipifera · Eastern North America
Pale yellow-green hardwood with a calm, even grain and occasional darker mineral colour.
American tulipwood, also called yellow poplar, is a light North American hardwood with a generally straight, uniform grain. Its pale cream-to-yellow-green colour makes a quiet contrast beside darker woods and stronger accent timbers.
Care instructions
Wash by hand with mild soap and dry promptly; do not soak or place in a dishwasher. Let every face air after use and refresh with food-safe board oil and wax when the surface begins to look dry.
