This huge dinner party style charcuterie/serving board is made from an old yew tree in Dentdale (in the Yorkshire Dales) thought to have been near to 250 years old. It was badly damaged by a storm in 2015 and had to be felled due to safety concerns.
It has a stunningly elegant grain with a striking contrast between the dark curling mass of heart wood interlaced with velvet violet rivulets and the sun bleached cream of the sapwood.
It has been plned and sanded to a high degree and treated with Danish wood oil and food grade English beeswax
This is a rare and unique showpiece serving board at home in any dinner party or friendly gatherings on a summer's evening.
Dimensions 1350mm x 560mm (at its widest) x 40mm
XXL Yew Charcuterie Board
Wood is a natural material liable to splitting and cracking under extremes and/or fluctuations in temperature and moisture levels. It is therefore imperative that you take care of these boards by reading the following:
- DO NOT scrub the boards at all or clean them with harsh chemicals or non-organic wahsing up liquid.
- DO NOT soak them or put them in the dish washer (it has happened before)
- Clean your board by either wiping it down with a damp cloth or using a tiny drop of eco-friendly washing up liquid with said cloth
- Re-wax your board occassionaly with a natural food grade safe bees wax to protect against food and water damage and to keep the natural colours of the grain from fading
