Description

A keepsake, not just a chopping board.

Our engraved handwriting chopping boards take something irreplaceable — a signature, a message, a few words written by hand — and preserve it permanently in solid English oak. We scan the original handwriting and engrave it directly into the timber, so what comes back is not a font approximating someone’s writing, but the real thing.  Their loops, their crosses, their particular way of forming a letter.

Made to order in our Surrey Hills workshop, these boards have become one of our most popular leaving gifts — for teachers who have made a difference, for colleagues moving on, for mentors, for friends. A class signature, a farewell message from a team, a note written years ago that deserves to last. Each board is a different story.

They are also deeply personal gifts for other occasions — a parent’s handwriting preserved for a child, a grandparent’s recipe in their own words, a message from someone who is no longer here.

Available in a choice of sizes. The board can carry a single piece of handwriting or a combination of signatures. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements and we will advise on the best format.

Allow 7–10 working days once we have your artwork. Please get in touch before ordering if you have any questions.

Care Information

Finish: All our boards leave the workshop treated with multiple coats of our 100% natural, vegan-rated, food-safe chopping board oil — no solvents, no hardeners, just pure plant-based oils that are completely safe for food contact.

Aftercare: Your board will reward a little attention. We recommend re-oiling regularly with our food-safe chopping board oil, which is available on the website. This keeps the timber nourished, helps prevent staining and discolouration, and guards against drying, cracking or warping over time. Think of it as feeding the wood — the more you do it, the better the board looks and performs.

Daily care: Always hand-wash with warm soapy water and dry immediately — never leave it sitting in water or put it in the dishwasher. Avoid leaving moist foods (such as cheese or citrus) on the surface for extended periods. Keep the board away from direct heat, direct sunlight, and damp surfaces. Do not store in a garage, shed or anywhere subject to temperature extremes.

About solid timber: Wood is a living material. It will expand and contract gently as the seasons change and humidity shifts — this is completely normal and entirely expected. You may notice very fine hairline cracks developing over time; these are a natural characteristic of solid timber and in no way affect the performance of your board. Regular oiling is the single best thing you can do to minimise movement.
