Every board is a one-off, thoughtfully designed to bring out the natural character of the timber, transforming a simple kitchen essential into an heirloom-quality centrepiece.
The Beauty and Strength of a Sycamore Chopping Board
Sycamore is widely recognised as one of the top three most suitable hardwoods for kitchen use, cherished for its hygienic qualities, dense grain, and ability to remain neutral in flavour and odour. This makes it an ideal choice for food preparation, whether you are chopping fresh vegetables, carving roast meats, or serving artisan cheeses. Unlike softer woods, Sycamore resists deep scoring, providing a long-lasting cutting surface that remains gentle on your knives while standing up to everyday use.
The timber’s natural pale golden tones, enhanced by careful hand-finishing, radiate warmth and elegance. Each piece of wood tells its own story, with unique grain patterns and subtle variations that ensure no two chopping boards are ever identical. At Crystal Woods, we believe in celebrating these natural features, allowing the wood itself to inspire the finished creation.
Timeless Horseshoe Design
This bespoke sycamore chopping board has been crafted in a classic horseshoe design, combining smooth flowing edges with a robust, chunky form. Measuring approximately 16 inches in length, 14.5 inches in width, and 2.25 inches in thickness, and weighing an impressive 4.6 kg, it offers both practicality and presence. Its substantial size provides ample space for food preparation while doubling as a striking serving board for presenting culinary delights to guests.
This Sycamore Chopping Board is finished with multiple coats of food-safe oil and wax, creating a soft satin sheen that enhances the natural beauty of the wood while providing lasting protection. Subtle design features, including smooth chamfered edges and a clean, flowing shape, ensure comfort and ease of use in any kitchen setting.
