Description
You’ve never seen a chopping board like this.
Padauk is a timber that makes people stop and ask questions. Its vivid, almost luminous red-orange tones are entirely natural — no stain, no treatment, just the wood itself. Cut with the natural edge intact and finished by hand in our Surrey Hills workshop, our large padauk live-edge chopping boards are one of the most striking things we make.
These boards are for the kitchen that wants something genuinely different. Not just beautiful in the way that all good timber is beautiful, but striking — a board that earns a permanent place on the worktop because it deserves to be seen. Made to order in your chosen size, 3cm thick, with the same attention to craft that goes into every board we produce.
Your board can be left as nature made it, or personalised with engraved lettering along the square edge — names, initials, a date, or a symbol from our collection of hand-carved motifs. A private message can also be added to the underside, unseen but always there.
A note on Padauk: The colour will evolve with exposure to light, mellowing from vivid red-orange towards a richer, deeper tone over time — a characteristic of the timber that makes every board’s journey entirely its own. After washing, always dry the board thoroughly, as Padauk can release some colour onto a cloth initially.
Non-slip rubber feet are included. Engravings are in capitals as standard; lower case available on request at checkout. Allow 7–10 working days, or contact us if you have a specific date.

The live edge gives it so much character. Easily the nicest chopping board I own.
Jack Davies –
Absolutely stunning board. The live edge and deep red colour of the padauk wood make it a real statement piece.
Noah Wright –
Really impressed overall. Just needed a bit of oiling when it arrived but now looks great.
