Know before you buy
London Plane is a dense, tight-grained hardwood known for its durability and distinct, attractive grain patterns. Its density makes it an excellent, resilient surface for knife work while remaining gentle enough to preserve your blade's edge.
Because it is finished with natural oils and waxes, you will need to periodically re-oil the board with food-grade mineral oil or board cream to prevent the wood from drying out. Avoid soaking it in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as these can cause the wood to warp or crack.
Yes, its smooth, lustrous finish and unique, hand-carved character make it an ideal piece for serving charcuterie, cheeses, or appetizers. It functions as both a durable prep surface and a sophisticated serving platter.
No, this board features a clean, minimalist design without a juice groove or non-slip feet. If you find it slides during use, placing a damp kitchen towel underneath the board will provide a stable, non-slip base.
Because the boards are hand-carved from natural London Plane wood, the grain pattern and exact color tones will vary from piece to piece. You can expect a unique, artisanal aesthetic that will continue to develop a rich patina with regular use.
