About this piece
The Tadcaster is a compact butcher's block built from European beech end grain. The regular field of blocks gives the working face a quiet rhythm, while the end-grain structure is forgiving under a knife and suited to repeated chopping, carving and preparation.
At 4.8 cm thick and 2.65 kg, it has the settled feel expected of a butcher's block without taking over the worktop. Recessed grips make the deep profile easier to move, and the clean, ungrooved face leaves the full surface available for prep or a generous serving of bread, cheese and fruit.
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 place in a dishwasher. Re-oil with food-safe board oil when the surface begins to look dry, and dry with air circulating around every face.
