Hard Maple
Hard Maple is the "gold standard" for durability in the kitchen. Characterised by its stunning, creamy-white sapwood and fine, even texture, it offers a clean and luminous aesthetic that brightens any space.
It is an exceptionally dense and heavy timber, possessing a natural abrasion resistance that makes it virtually peerless for heavy-duty use. We select Hard Maple for its incredible strength and closed-grain structure, which makes it naturally hygienic and resistant to impact. Our Hard Maple is 100% FSC certified, ensuring this iconic slow-growing species is harvested from forests managed with the highest environmental standards. It is a timber built to endure a lifetime of culinary use while maintaining its sophisticated, pale lustre. -
White Oak
American White Oak is a premium hardwood celebrated for its incredible strength and natural resistance to decay. Featuring a straight grain and a medium-to-coarse texture, it is defined by distinctive growth rings and medullary rays that give each piece unique character.
While historically favoured for boat building, we choose White Oak for its high density and durability in the kitchen. Our timber is strictly FSC certified, ensuring it is harvested from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits. Its natural strength ensures your boards remain stable through years of daily use. -
Smoked Oak
Our Smoked Oak is made to order and is created through a traditional fuming process that enriches and darkens the timber's natural tones without the use of pigments. This process brings the wood's natural tannins to the surface, creating a deep, sophisticated hue that runs deep into thickness of the timber—meaning the color won't scratch or wear off over time. This process is random and may result in light, stripy or very dark features. Please add a comment if you'd like a particular finish
Every piece displays stunning natural variation depending on the tannin content of the specific tree. We use only FSC certified Oak, guaranteeing that the raw material meets the highest global standards for forest management. This process results in a beautiful, marbled finish that is as sustainable as it is durable.
