The board you’ll reach for every day.
The Essential is the daily driver of the Larchsmith collection. Balanced weight, generous surface, and the forgiving feel of larch end grain make it the one-board solution for home chefs and knife enthusiasts.
Handcrafted in Maidenhead from kiln-dried Canadian larch (tamarack) heartwood. End-grain construction is self-healing and gentle on hard edges — softer than maple, easier on HRC 60+ blades. Finished with food-safe mineral oil and beeswax.

Weight: ∼3.1 kg
Includes: 60ml Larchsmith Board Conditioner
Care
Hand wash, dry upright. Re-oil monthly. Designed for daily use, built for generations.
