Bamboo menu board
A board for menus, wine lists, recipes or notes. Two rings hold your pages and open by hand, so changing the menu takes seconds.
From £26free UK delivery
- Size
- 200 × 300 mm
- Thickness
- 3 mm (approx. 150 g) or 5 mm (approx. 240 g). The 5 mm feels more solid; the 3 mm is lighter to hand round.
- Paper
- Standard A4. Use it as it is, or trim 5 mm from each side for printed pages, or 10 mm from one side for blank pages.
- Rings
- Two spring-gate rings, 80 mm apart and 10 mm from the top edge – a standard two-hole punch lines up. No tools needed.
- In the box
- One set of rings fitted, plus two spare sets. Gold, silver and black.
- Capacity
- About 10 pages. For thicker menus, ask before ordering and larger rings can be fitted.
- Finish
- Caramel Moso bamboo with hard wax oil. Faux leather cuff in bottle green or burgundy, fixed with three Chicago screws.
- Care
- Wipe with a damp cloth. Not dishwasher safe.
Bamboo bill presenter
Each presenter is built around a single piece of reclaimed real leather. I shape the spine and pocket to follow the natural form of the leather, so no two are the same – yours will have its own shape, grain and markings.

The first boards were a small run in birch, with four-ring binders and green or burgundy cuffs. A few are still available on Etsy while they last. Everything since is bamboo and real leather.
