Irish Flame Beech, Spalted Beech, Pale Beech & Oak Chaos Board
A chaos board built from the offcuts of larger boards — flame beech, spalted beech, pale beech and oak, all from the Bredin estate at Clooncallow and Castlecor in Ballymahon. Nothing is laid out to a pattern: the pieces go together as the timber falls, and the result is never repeatable.
The spalting runs through in dark branching lines, forming naturally in the timber as it lies. Treated with a food-safe finishing oil.
A board at 390 × 315 × 53mm and 4.4kg — a near-square shape that works well as a serving or carving board as much as a chopping board. End grain construction is easier on knives than a conventional board and more forgiving over years of use. Built from the same timber as the larger boards, at a lower price because of its size.
