This design focuses on simplicity and function, showcasing long, uninterrupted grain lines rather than bold patterning. The result is a calm, versatile board that fits comfortably into daily kitchen routines without overwhelming the workspace.

Crafted with Purpose

This board is crafted from solid walnut and hard maple using edge grain construction, where the long grain of the wood runs parallel to the cutting surface. Edge grain boards are known for their strength, dimensional stability, and resistance to splitting under regular use. Walnut provides natural hardness and warmth, while the maple stripes add subtle visual definition and balance. Each board is carefully glued, flattened, and sanded smooth by hand to ensure a consistent, dependable cutting surface.
