Shop walnut end grainRight wood, right reasons
Solid teak and South American walnut
Dense hardwoods with enough give to be kind to a knife edge. Teak is naturally high in its own oils, so it shrugs off moisture rather than soaking it up. Walnut is just as dense, with a deep, dark grain that makes knife marks less obvious. Both come from selective thinning: trees taken to keep the forest healthy, providing decent jobs in a region that needs them. FSC approved.
Looking after it
Every board arrives finished with oil
A few seconds with board oil now and again is all it takes to keep it protected - the difference between a board for life and one that dries and splits. Jason shows you the routine.
