Made from locally felled spalted beech from the Castlewellan area, this board shows the dramatic dark lines and soft colour shifts that spalting creates. Beech is normally a calm, even‑grained hardwood, but when spalting appears it transforms the wood into something far more expressive — each piece developing its own natural patterns over time. No two boards ever look alike.
The timber comes from the woodlands around Castlewellan, a region known for its historic forest park and long tradition of mixed hardwoods. Trees here grow in cool, damp air, which often encourages the subtle, wandering spalting lines that make boards like this so distinctive. It’s a piece that carries both the character of the wood and the landscape it came from.
Finished with a food‑safe natural oil, this board works beautifully for serving, display, or simply adding a unique touch of handcrafted Irish timber to your home
