About this piece
A weighty end-grain board built for serious prep, carving, and serving. The end-grain face is forgiving under a knife and gives the board its woven rhythm: pale timber blocks broken by dark walnut-style strips, with the pattern carried cleanly into the edges.
The juice groove keeps carving juices and crumbs contained, while recessed side grips make the weight easier to lift from the table. Rubber feet steady it underneath. It is a practical working board with enough presence to stay out between jobs.
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 a striking choice for a chopping board 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.
