Live Edge Slab Sycamore Butcher’s Block
The Live Edge Chunky Slab of Sycamore Butcher’s Block is both a functional kitchen essential and a striking piece of organic artistry. Handcrafted from a carefully selected slab of English Sycamore, this butcher’s block is designed to offer professional performance while celebrating the natural beauty of wood.
Sycamore has long been treasured as one of the top three most suitable hardwood species for food preparation. Its fine-grained, naturally hygienic surface is resistant to bacteria, does not taint food with taste or odour, and is gentle on knives while remaining strong enough for everyday use.
Built for Culinary Versatility
Generously proportioned and robust in build, this board has the weight and stability of a true butcher’s block. Its smooth, dense surface is ideal for heavy-duty kitchen prep such as chopping meats, dicing vegetables, slicing bread, or preparing fish.
Beyond preparation, it doubles beautifully as a presentation board for cheeses, artisan breads, charcuterie, and shared platters. Whether you are a professional chef or a passionate home cook, this block bridges the gap between practicality and presentation, making it a versatile centrepiece for any kitchen.
Distinctive Live Edge Character
Each butcher’s block is cut from a single slab of Sycamore, chosen specifically for its unique live edge detail. This flowing, organic edge preserves the natural contours of the tree, ensuring that no two boards are ever alike.
The wood’s creamy tones, golden highlights, and subtle figuring bring warmth and character to the piece, making it as decorative as it is functional. Angled ends provide an ergonomic feature, allowing for easy lifting and repositioning from counter to table of this live edge slab sycamore butcher’s block.
Finished to Perfection
Every Crystal Woods butcher’s block is carefully hand-sanded to a silky smooth finish before being treated with multiple coats of premium food safe oil. This protects and nourishes the wood, enriching its natural colours while ensuring it is ready for safe, daily use. A final wax and oil treatment leaves a subtle satin sheen that enhances both the look and durability of the piece.
The result is a butcher’s block that is not only resistant to moisture and staining but also showcases the craftsmanship and care that defines every Crystal Woods creation.
