Description

If you only ever buy one serious chopping board, this should be it.

End grain is the gold standard of cutting surfaces, and the reason is both practical and beautiful. When a knife blade comes down on an end grain board, it passes between the timber fibres rather than cutting across them — the fibres flex apart and close back together, which is dramatically kinder to your knives and extends the life of the board. It is why professional chefs and butchers have used this construction for generations.

Our end grain chopping boards are handmade in our Surrey Hills workshop using solid English oak and American Black Walnut, assembled piece by piece into the distinctive chequered pattern that reveals the full depth and richness of the timber’s end grain. Each board is then hand-sanded and finished with multiple coats of our food-safe oil. The result is a board that genuinely gets better with age.

Available in three sizes — small, medium and large — with a choice of oak or walnut, and options to add cutout side handles, a surface juice groove, or personalised engraving along the edge on one or both sides. A private message can also be added to the underside.

These boards work equally well as kitchen preparation boards and as trivets — the thickness and density of the timber make them excellent at absorbing heat from pans and roasting trays straight from the oven.

They make outstanding gifts for weddings, significant birthdays, housewarming presents, and anyone who would genuinely appreciate something built to last.

All engravings are in capitals as standard; lower case available on request. Allow 7–10 working days.

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: End-grain boards are thirsty — they absorb oil beautifully and benefit from regular treatment more than any other board type. We recommend re-oiling frequently with our food-safe chopping board oil, particularly in the first few months of use. This keeps the timber nourished and looking its best, and helps protect against staining, drying, cracking and warping. Our oil is available on the website.

Daily care: Always hand-wash with warm soapy water and dry immediately with a clean cloth — stand the board upright or prop it to allow both sides to dry evenly. Never put an end-grain board in the dishwasher. Avoid leaving moist foods sitting on the surface for extended periods. Keep away from direct heat, direct sunlight, and damp surfaces. Use the rubber feet supplied to allow airflow underneath.

About end grain timber: The exposed end grain fibres are what make these boards so special — knife blades pass between them rather than across them. But those same fibres will drink in moisture if the board is left wet. Dry your board thoroughly after every wash and oil it regularly. You may notice very fine hairline cracks over time; these are a natural characteristic of the timber and do not affect performance.

Do not store outside, in a garage, or in any space subject to damp or temperature extremes.

If you need advice on caring for your board, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
