The Friends' affordable sister: the Amigo L serving board in oiled beech, 51 cm across for tapas, cheese and nibbles. Versatile to prep and present, from Dutch maker Boska, at a price that won't frighten you.
The Amigo L is Boska's entry into large serving boards: 51.4 cm of oiled solid beech, lighter and cheaper than the Friends' oak but just as versatile for a cheese board, tapas or nibbles. Half a metre of surface to prep and present. Beech is a touch softer than oak, so it's for serving more than chopping; hand-wash in warm soapy water and it keeps for years.
Boska's serving board at a fraction of the Friends: half a metre of beech, versatile and handsome. For serving, not daily chopping.
Pros
- 51 cm oiled solid beech: half a metre of serving board
- Versatile for tapas, cheese and nibbles
- Lighter and more affordable than the oak Friends
- A handsome presentation piece from a century-old brand
Cons
- Beech is softer than oak: it marks under chopping
- Hand-wash in warm water, no dishwasher
- For serving and presenting, not grill or daily chopping
Who it's for
For those wanting a large, handsome serving board without the Friends' price: tapas, cheese and nibbles to share at the table.
Not for
For daily chopping, beech is softer and marks; an oak block is better. And it's a table board, not a grill one.

FAQ
Is beech a good wood for a board?
Beech is a hard wood with fine, uniform grain, very common in kitchenware for its good hardness-to-price ratio. It is a touch lighter than oak or walnut and ages well with oiling. The Amigo L is a serving disc of about 51 cm: it prioritises table presentation, not intensive cutting.
Should I pick the beech Amigo or the oak Friends?
Both are round Boska serving boards, same concept and similar size (51-55 cm). The beech Amigo is lighter with uniform grain; the oak Friends is warmer with pronounced grain. Choose on aesthetics and which wood suits your table; in use and care they are interchangeable.
Can I cut bread or cheese on it without ruining it?
For light cuts of bread, cheese or fruit while serving it is perfect; what it does not want is daily use as a chopping board, which would scar it. Hand-wash and oil it occasionally. Designed as a presentation piece, it keeps its beauty for many years.
