Wood Species

Descubre nuestra selección de maderas nobles

For us, the selection of wood for our cutting boards is essential.

Each type of wood brings unique characteristics to our cutting boards.

We work with a variety of woods selected for both their beauty and their natural properties.

Leafy woods

We know as hardwoods those from temperate climate trees that are not coniferous, such as oak, maple and walnut. These woods are known for their density and strength, making them an ideal choice for cookware that can withstand daily use.

In most cases, they are woods with a high availability on the market (except olive and boxwood) and are considered, a priori, a sustainable resource.

Walnut

The quintessential dark hardwood. Stable and medium hardness. Its high demand has made it an expensive and sought-after wood.

Cherry tree

One of the most beautiful and popular hardwoods. Stable wood with a very fine grain. We use European and American cherry.

Hard Maple

From the American continent. The quintessential wood for economical, high-quality and durable cutting boards.

European Oak

Hardwood with antibacterial properties due to its tannin content. Its use is widespread in all areas.

Olive tree

Emblem of the Mediterranean. It has extraordinary veins. Scarce, heavy, unstable and coarse-grained wood.

Birch

Light wood of medium density. Easy to work with and with high availability. We work mainly with birch plywood.

Holm oak

Heavy, hard and resistant wood. Holm oak wood, usually used as firewood, has remarkable veins and shades.

Beech

Versatile and economical wood. Although it has low dimensional stability, its low porosity makes it suitable for cookware.

Boxwood

Considered the stainless steel of woods, boxwood stands out for its very high density and low porosity.

Tropical woods

We know tropical woods as those from regions such as Africa, Asia or South America.

These woods are appreciated for their wide variety of colors and grains, as well as for the high durability of many of them. In most cases, tropical woods are naturally more resistant to humidity and temperature changes. Their availability varies greatly from species to species: from high availability such as sapelly or iroko, to low availability such as wenge or bubinga (CITES II).

Some of our tropical woods, given their low availability and exceptional beauty, are used only for small details and to highlight other woods.

Wenge

Dark black-brown wood. Exceptional mechanical qualities. Scarce timber inscribed in CITES II.

Iroko

Wood from Africa that has established itself as a substitute for teak. High availability and relatively low cost.

Sapelly

One of the most affordable and widely used exotic woods. Good dimensional stability and attractive reddish-brown tones.

Sucupira

Heavy, sturdy wood, often used for floors and boat decks. Very intense veins. We use it as an accent on multicolored boards.

Jatoba

Jatoba wood.

Mongoy

Exotic wood rare in cutting boards. Striking veins and shades. Good dimensional stability and moisture resistance.

Bubinga

Extraordinary wood for its beauty, density, hardness and resistance. Used in special projects. Scarce timber inscribed in CITES II.

Palo Rojo

Affordable deep red wood. Over time and exposure to UV rays it turns brown, losing its initial appeal.

Zebrano

Wood whose name comes from the similarity of its grains with the colors of the zebra. Scarce and coveted wood. Very high price.

Kotibe

Wood from West Africa, highly appreciated in cabinetmaking. We reserve it for trays and other accessories.

Curupai

Very dense and hard wood. Its dark shades and durability make it extremely attractive for service tables and quality accessories.

Lignum Vitae

Rare wood extraordinary for its self-lubricating properties and very high hardness. We make pieces in this wood to order.

Verawood

Very dense wood also known as Argentine Lignum Vitae. We make pieces in this wood to order.

Suar

Beautiful wood highly available in large sizes. Ideal for grain tables, counters and tables.

Ipe

Extremely dense, hard, resistant to insects, fungi and weather and with interesting grains.
