Why this bark-edge board makes a difference every day

A round birch board brings a calm to the table that no plate can replace. The pale wood makes dark bread, cheese and cold cuts stand out in strong contrast. The bark edge frames everything naturally. That's why it's not only families at Bütic who choose it to make their bread-and-cheese suppers cosier. On a shop counter, at a market stall or on a buffet, the tree slice also holds food on a flat, pale wooden surface with a natural bark edge. It takes no effort at all.

Material & finish

The bark-edge board is made of birch wood that has already been dried and sanded smooth – so it feels pleasant in the hand and sits steadily on the table. The surface is pale with a visible wood texture, while the edge keeps its natural bark. Because wood is a purely natural material, the grain may be more or less pronounced; small knots and, in some cases, small to large cracks are part of its character and are not a defect – they make every piece unique. The boards are neatly finished and made in the EU.

Good to know about birch wood

Birch is one of the palest native woods. In northern Europe especially, it has long been a favourite for kitchen and table items. It is exactly this pale, friendly colour that makes birch bark-edge boards so popular for serving. Dark bread, cheese or ham stand out against the pale wood in strong contrast.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: after use, simply wipe with a damp cloth and let the board dry thoroughly. As the wood is completely untreated, it must not go in the dishwasher and should not be left soaking in water – that way the wood slice keeps its pale, smooth surface for a long time.
