ABOUT THIS BOARD

American Black Walnut - A beautiful, dense and tight-grained timber known for its deep, rich colour. It ranges from creamy white sapwood to dark chocolate heartwood and sands to a smooth finish.

English Sycamore - Oak with a deep chocolate-brown colour. Shades can range from light to very dark brown, even within the same tree, making every board different.

Stripy: Alternating strips of different wood species. Contrasting light and dark timbers can produce a particularly striking appearance.

Classic - An ergonomic and practical design featuring recessed handles for easier lifting and carrying. Rubber feet hold the board securely on the worktop and raise the underside away from the surface. A versatile style that combines traditional craftsmanship with everyday usability.

CHARACTER BOARD — Grade 2

Grade 2 boards may contain small cracks or areas filled with food-safe resin, provided they are not close to an edge. They may also include small dents or scratches on the surface or edges. These boards are considered structurally sound and unlikely to open up.

Warranty limitation: A defect disclosed in the product listing is not covered if that defect subsequently causes the board to fail.

Each board is graded individually and its defects are listed as accurately as possible. Each numbered grade is additional to the previous grade in terms of the types of characteristics that may be present, but only the one selected grade is assigned to the product.

Please see our Store Policy page for full warranty and character-board information.

All measurements are approximate.

An end grain chopping boards surface is up to one and a half times harder than a standard "face grain" cutting board alternative. The orientation of the wood means that a knife will slide between the fibres of the wood rather than cutting them; meaning your knives will stay sharper for longer.
Unlike regular face grain chopping boards, regular treatment with our Oil and Wax will cause the board to "self-heal". This will impel the wood fibres to expand and close together around many of the scratches and cuts on the surface; almost bringing back the original surface finish.
