Wood with a Wiley Twist
This stunning piece of wood came with a small blemish that we repaired with a little resin to accentuate the grain pattern

What do you see?
The grain pattern and ring deformations could easily be mistaken for a ghostly ballroom dancer, or maybe a cloud covered mountain
A larger chunk
One of two bite marks on this piece, give the board a whimisical character
Just a little resin
Instead of a complementing colour, we used a darker colour to accentuate the grain
Inspiring the Board Name
Looking at the rind pattern of Saint Nectaire, the mottling effect that takes place naturally is akin to how this piece of wood grew over time.
Saint Nectaire AOC (or St. Nectaire), a semi-soft, washed-rind cheese hailing from the Auvergne region of France, is made from either raw or pasteurized cow's milk, sourced primarily from breeds like Salers or Montbéliarde. The cheese undergoes a distinctive uncooked curd process, contributing to its unique texture.
Saint Nectaire undergoes a maturation period lasting six to eight weeks. Throughout this process, the cheeses are washed with salted water and regularly turned over to cultivate the specific orange-grey rind. To impart a distinct pungency, the cheeses are aged on rye straw. The resulting paste is soft and aromatic, showcasing a creamy colour. Saint Nectaire's flavour profile carries subtle hints of hazelnut.
