Bread cutting board end grain made of birch wood

Our birch wood products come exclusively from birch trees in German forests. Birch grows relatively quickly compared to other deciduous trees, but more slowly than conifers, and is therefore very stable and durable. Birch wood is very dense and is a medium to heavy type of wood, which is why it can definitely be described as robust. The colors are mostly in the very light spectrum and range from reddish white, yellowish white to light brown. The surface has a slightly silky sheen. The grain is rather calm, has no sapwood, but clearly defined annual rings.
