Round ash & alder wood slice – bark-edge serving board

Your guests are seated, the coffee smells wonderful – and the table still needs a stage for cheese, ham and fresh bread. That's where the bark-edge board in ash or alder comes in: a round wood slice with a distinctive bark edge that makes even a simple spread look lovingly prepared – as if made for your table. Because every board is unique, you get a piece of nature that you won't find a second time.

What changes for you

• Your table looks more inviting without much decorating – the natural bark edge and visible wood grain are decoration enough.
• You can arrange cold meats, cheese and fruit straight on the board – thanks to the food-safe, smoothly sanded and lacquered surface.
• You'll find the right size for every occasion – from a small bark-edge slice for a snack for two to a large platter for the buffet.
• There's little to do after the meal – a damp cloth is all it takes, and the serving board is ready to use again.
• You give or decorate with a true one-off – because the grain, shade and bark line are different on every wood slice.

Why this bark-edge board makes a difference every day

A board with a bark edge suits almost any interior, from rustic country house to modern kitchen. Cold cuts, cheese or fruit look carefully arranged on it – with no extra effort. And when you're not serving anything, the tree slice sits in the kitchen or on the sideboard as a decorative board.

Material & finish

The bark-edge board is made of ash or alder wood. Its very smooth, sanded and lacquered surface feels pleasant in your hand. The careful finish shows in even edges and transitions. The surface is food-safe for ham, sausage, cheese or fruit. Wood is a purely natural material. Variations in shade, small knots and fine irregularities in the grain are part of it. This makes every board one of a kind and is not a defect. The board is made in the EU.

• For an evening snack: arrange bread, ham and cheese on the bark-edge slice – and a quick meal becomes a cosy moment at the table.
• When friends come round: placed in the middle of the table as a cheese board, everyone happily tucks in – and you don't need any other decoration.
• As a fruit board in the kitchen: apples and grapes are always within reach – and the wood slice looks good in the meantime too.
• In a café or bakery: cakes, open sandwiches or cheese bites presented on the wooden board stand out on the counter and invite customers to order.
• For catering or on the buffet: several bark-edge boards in different sizes together form one continuous serving surface.

Good to know about the tree slice

A tree slice shows the tree's annual rings – each ring stands for one year of growth. So every bark-edge board tells its own little story. It never looks like a mass-produced item. That is exactly what makes it so appealing as a serving board on the table and on the buffet.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do: after use, simply wipe it with a damp cloth – done. Please don't put it in the dishwasher or leave it wet for long periods, so the wooden board keeps its smooth surface and natural look for a long time.
