A Testament to Craftsmanship
This sycamore butchers block chopping board has been created with meticulous care, highlighting the natural flow and tonal variations of the Sycamore grain. The surface reveals a fascinating shift in texture and pattern, showcasing the wood’s organic beauty. A carefully placed decorative bow tie joint in rich Wenge wood secures a natural end split, combining structural integrity with visual flair. This traditional joint not only strengthens the piece but also adds a contrasting detail that elevates its overall aesthetic.
Dimensions and Substance
Substantial in size, the board measures 490mm in length, 400mm in width, and an impressive 70mm in thickness. Its generous proportions and robust build make it ideal for demanding kitchen tasks such as chopping, carving, or preparing meats, fish, and vegetables. With its solid weight and density, this block remains firmly in place during use, ensuring confidence and stability for both professional chefs and passionate home cooks.
Finishing Touches
Sycamore is one of the best species for food hygiene due to its natural antibacterial qualities, but to ensure food safety even more and enhance the board’s natural colour, it has been finished with multiple coats of high-quality food-safe oil. This treatment not only nourishes and protects the wood but also brings out its golden hues and beautiful grain definition. The result is a smooth satin sheen that feels as good as it looks, ready to withstand years of culinary use.
