End-Grain Chopping Board

European Beech · Small · Diamond Matched

Small square beech chopping board with diamond matched end-grain and false heartwood patterns

The Wood

False Heartwood

The dark, map-like patterns across this beech are false heartwood. These marks are caused by oxidised wood or severe frosts during the tree's life, creating abstract shapes that look almost painted.

The diamond matched arrangement mirrors these patterns across both axes, turning natural happenstance into intentional symmetry. Each board tells a different story.

Nature's inkblots, preserved in wood.

The Piece

Small but Substantial

Sized for the small tasks: mincing garlic, slicing lemons, chopping herbs. This compact board earns its place on the counter through daily use, always within reach.

Flat faces without a juice groove keep the profile clean. Finger grips on the sides make it easy to move around the kitchen, from counter to stovetop and back.

Finished with food-safe mineral oil. Re-oil occasionally to maintain the depth of figure.
