The Alternating Check Serving Board is handmade with love in our Eora (Sydney) workshop from sustainable American Oak. It’s made up of individual pieces of timber that we expertly join into an alternating check pattern.
American Oak is a gorgeous hardwood known for its durability and distinctive straight grain, helping us to create the subtle yet striking checkered pattern. Oak’s colours range from light to medium blonde/brown.
The generous size makes it a perfect food prep kitchen staple that doubles as a beautiful centrepiece to serve your favourite treats. All TS Maker’s cutting and serving boards are designed and built to be used and treasured. We’re truly passionate about making everyday pieces that work hard but look just as good on display.

Our wooden serving boards are handmade made from natural timber, the colour and grain on each is unique and variances will occur. While we make every effort for our checked timber pieces to look like our photos it’s never guaranteed as the colour can vary from light to dark. This is the beauty of working with natural materials and means that each product is truly unique.
Care instructions:
Our boards and blocks go through days of oiling and sealing before heading to their new homes.
To maintain the quality of the timber we recommend re-sealing it frequently with the natural beeswax balsam that’s included with your purchase. Apply sparingly with a soft, lint-free cloth - a little goes a long way.
To feed and nourish the timber, and prevent it from cracking or splitting, we recommend Gilly’s Chopping Board Oils (available online or at Bunnings.) This should be used monthly, or more frequently, for very dry or heavily used boards.
Rotate which side of the board you use regularly to maintain stability. If the board ever gets a little ‘wobble’ lay it flat on the opposite side, on an even surface, and the weight will flatten it back out.
Cleaning instructions:
After use, wipe the front and back of your butcher's block with a warm, damp cloth, followed by a soft, dry cloth and leave to air-dry. Do not run under or immerse in water, or put it in the dishwasher.
