Spencer Peterman Oval Spalted Maple Board

Spencer Peterman oval spalted board, Sabre Nature bread knife, David Mellor cheese knife, Simon Pearce Woodbury side plate in Moss Oxide.

The Spencer Peterman bowls and boards are some of the most stunning pieces we carry here at Didriks. I think the oval spalted boards, with their organic, raw edges, are especially beautiful. 

The wonderful striations and patterns are due to the wood being partially decayed before it is cut and dried. Each board is unique.

Camembert!

The organic, natural quality of the wood pairs beautifully with the rustic, handmade aesthetic of Simon Pearce's pottery. The speckled glaze on the Woodbury collection is particularly fitting here. 

This handsome black handled cheese knife from David Mellor is one of my favorites (you can see it in person at our kitchen store Local Root). Some great alternatives in this large size are the Rosle cheese knife, as well as the iittala cheese knife, all featuring convenient vents to prevent the cheese from sticking to the knife. For a true match, the olivewood handles on Berti's Due per Il Re and Piccoli Italiani cheese knife sets would be gorgeous options.
