The Tallow Wooden Cookbook Stand — Bay & Birch
A recipe is easier to follow when the book stays open and upright, and out of the flour. The Tallow is a compact stand in dark, carbonised wood, made of two slim uprights joined by a single cross rod. It holds a cookbook at a gentle angle, so the page stays open and in view while your hands are busy.
When the cooking is done, it folds into the kitchen as a small piece of timber, with no moving parts to put away.

A Closer Look
The stand is made of two wooden sides, each with a slotted foot that holds the lower edge of the book, and a tall back that rests against the cover. A thick wooden rod joins them at the middle and keeps them square. The wood is carbonised, a treatment that darkens and hardens the surface, and the grain shows through in lighter and darker lines.
Because the two sides stand apart, the stand also suits a tablet, a record, a sheet of music, or a small plate or print on display.

Please note: the books, bowls, eggs, linen, boards, bottles, and other items shown in photos are for styling purposes only and are not included. Not suitable for very thick or heavy books. Place on a level, stable surface away from splashes and heat. Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth and do not soak. The carbonised surface may leave a faint dark mark on light fabrics, so wipe it first. Wood is a natural material, so grain and tone will vary from piece to piece. Measurements may vary by 1–3 cm. Color may appear slightly different depending on your screen and lighting.
A good recipe deserves a good place to rest.
