Live Edge English Oak Chopping Board | Handmade in UK | Personalised Option

A Rustic Handmade Wooden Chopping Board with Live Edge Detail

This is more than just a chopping board; it is a substantial slab of British timber designed to be the anchor of your kitchen. Whether treating yourself or looking for the perfect handmade wooden gift, this board bridges the gap between a robust daily tool and a stunning serving platter.

A Personalised Wooden Gift for 5th Anniversaries & Special Occasions

We select oak slabs that feature "Live Edge" details—following the natural contours of the tree rather than a straight saw line. This preserves the organic history of the wood, ensuring that no two boards are ever identical.

Craft & Materials The live edge showcases the wood’s natural contours, adding organic elegance and individuality to the piece. Its sturdy construction ensures lasting durability, making it a reliable kitchen essential. The dense English Oak surface withstands heavy use and helps maintain knife sharpness, while the food-safe oil finish enhances the wood's beauty and protects it from moisture.

Why This Piece Is Special Whether used for heavy-duty meal preparation or as a stylish serving platter for cheese and charcuterie, this board seamlessly combines functionality with artisanal craftsmanship. It is both practical and a striking addition to any kitchen décor.

Handmade in the UK Created by Begat Woodcraft, this board is a celebration of sustainable British timber—a robust, beautiful tool designed for everyday use.

## Personalised Laser Engraving (+£20.00)

Transform this artisan piece into a truly unique personalised wedding gift or treasured heirloom with our precision laser engraving service.

We use a high-end laser to etch deep into the oak, creating a dark, lasting mark that contrasts beautifully with the warm grain. It is the perfect choice for a 5th Wedding Anniversary (Wood), a special housewarming gift, or simply to brand it as "The Chef's Board."

Designed for Use, Not Just Display

We position all engravings in the top right corner of the board - this keeps the personalisation clear of the main chopping zone, ensuring your names and dates aren't damaged by knife cuts over time. It allows you to use the board every day while keeping the sentiment intact.

Choose Your Style Select from two timeless font options:

• Classic Font Style: A strong, traditional font perfect for family names (e.g. CLAIRE'S KITCHEN  -  Cooking up a storm since 2005). If you choose this text option we will engrave EXACTLY as you have written it - ie. if you use capital letters and lower case letters, we will do the same.
• Script Font Style: An elegant, flowing handwritten style, ideal for first names or romantic gifts (e.g. Jack & Emily  -  20th August 2020). If you choose this text option we will engrave EXACTLY as you have written it - ie. if you use capital letters and lower case letters, we will do the same.

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.
