Edge grain or end grain?

Two ways to build a board.

Both are solid hardwood and both will last for years. The difference is in how the timber is laid.

Edge grain
Long, straight strips of oak. Lighter to lift, hard-wearing and great value: the everyday board.
End grain
A chequerboard of end-grain blocks. Heavier, kind to knife edges and hides everyday knife marks: the serious cook's board.

Our workshop

From rough timber to your worktop.

Every board is made in our small UK workshop from solid hardwood, and finished by hand.

  1. 01
    Timber chosen
    Each plank is checked and picked for straight, sound grain.
  2. 02
    Cut and glued
    Strips are cut, arranged for grain and colour, and glued up under clamps.
  3. 03
    Flattened and sanded
    Taken down to a dead-flat, smooth surface, edges softened by hand.
  4. 04
    Finished and checked
    Oiled, waxed with our own blend and checked before it's packed.
