This stunning large charcuterie board is made from the trunk of a 100 year old Beech tree felled in a storm in 2017 near Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria. Also called Truffle Beech, spalted Beech is a process, taking up to 3 years, by which certain fungi start growing on dead and fallen trees colonize the wood, travelling up through the wood cells and leaving behind a very unique and attractive pattern.
Fascinatingly the black lines are actually 'zone lines' created by different species of fungi which errect barriers around their territory, and defend them from neighbouring fungi.
It has been planed and sanded to a high degree, treated with Danish wood oil and coated with food grade English beeswax.
Dimensions 910mm x 340mm (at its widest) x 50mm
