European Walnut Kitchen Cutting Board

This cutting board showcases the beauty of premium European walnut hardwood. Walnut’s “just right” hardness protects both board and knife edges, similar to prized Japanese Aomori Hiba. The rich, dark tones create a visually appealing workspace. Precise construction ensures excellent blade contact to maintain your knives’ sharpness. The generous medium size of 42 x 23.5 x 3.5 cm provides ample prep space.

Why this piece

The piece, and the wood it is made from.

This board is made from a single piece of premium European walnut, rich, dark tones and fine grain that make each one a little different. Walnut sits at that “just right” hardness: firm enough for daily cutting, forgiving enough to spare your best knives. It’s a wood professional chefs reach for.

It’s built from solid walnut with no glues or adhesives, hand-planed to a satin finish, and treated with food-safe mineral oil to nourish and protect the wood.

At 42 x 23.5 x 3.5 cm with integrated hand grips on both ends, it gives you real prep space while staying easy to lift and turn. Slightly raised edges help contain runoff.

It works just as well as a serving board for cheese, charcuterie and bread, and develops a burnished patina with age and the odd re-oil. Built to last for generations.

Where it is made

Beskidy, Poland.

This board was made for us by a woodworker in the Beskidy mountains in the south of Poland, from European walnut.

We have stopped making this design, so the boards in stock are the last ones.

Care, briefly

A few habits keep the wood for life.

01.

Hand wash, dry standing up.

Warm water, a soft sponge, mild dish soap. Never the dishwasher: heat splits the wood. Stand it on edge to drain so air reaches both sides.

02.

Oil it once a month.

A teaspoon of food-safe camellia or mineral oil, wiped on with a soft cloth. Let it soak ten minutes, wipe off the excess. Stops the wood drying out.

03.

Never leave it wet.

Standing water rots the surface. After washing, dry it within sixty seconds. Wood is forgiving of almost everything except a wet sink overnight.

Frequently asked.

How do I oil it?
A teaspoon of food-safe camellia or mineral oil on a soft cloth, once a month. Wipe it on, let it soak for ten minutes, wipe off the excess. That's the whole routine.
Will it warp?
Wood moves a little with the seasons. Dry it standing up so both faces dry evenly, never leave it in standing water, and it will stay flat. If it ever starts to rock on the counter, get in touch.
Is it dishwasher safe?
No. Dishwasher heat splits wooden boards and strips the oil. Hand wash, dry within sixty seconds, oil once a month.
Can I cut raw meat on it?
Yes. Wood has natural antibacterial properties and is kinder to your edge than plastic. Wash with hot water and mild soap afterwards, as you would any board.
How long does shipping take?
UK orders usually arrive within 2–3 working days, EU and US within 5–9. We ship mostly from the UK.
