Made to Order – Just for You Please note that this item is handmade to order specifically for you. Because I make every piece individually here in my studio, please allow 4-5 days for me to craft and finish your item before despatch.
A Genuine One-Off The images shown are a representation of the design, but because wood is a natural material, your specific piece will have its own unique grain patterns and character. It will not be identical to the picture—it will be exclusively yours.
I celebrate the natural history of the wood; grain patterns, knots, and slight variations are not defects, but part of the material's natural beauty and character. All timber is responsibly sourced from trusted UK suppliers.
Please note: Personalised boards are non-refundable unless faulty. Please check your spelling carefully before ordering

I am delighted with this hand crafted, unique, functional chopping board. The large size is perfect. The crumbs stay on the board. Always admired by guests. It is pleasing on the eye, smooth, easy to clean. It looks fabulous when used as a serving board loaded with cheeses and meats. I oil it with Howard’s Butchers block conditioner which keeps in in perfect condition and prevents it from drying out. I love it so much that I treat my son to one too!
