Description
The wood that nobody believes until they see it in person.
Purpleheart is exactly what it sounds like — a dense, striking hardwood from Central and South America with a vivid, unmistakably violet tone that is entirely natural. No dye, no finish, no trick. Just the wood. Our live-edge purpleheart chopping boards are made to show this remarkable timber at its best: cut with the natural edge preserved and finished by hand in our Surrey Hills workshop.
These are boards for people who want something truly one of a kind. Whether displayed on a worktop, used at the table, or given as a gift, a purpleheart live edge board creates an instant impression that nothing else quite matches. Made entirely to order in your chosen size, 3cm thick throughout.
Your board can be left plain or engraved with lettering along the square edge — a name, initials, a date, or a motif from our collection of hand-carved symbols. We can also add a private message to the underside: something only you or the recipient will ever know is there.
A note on Purpleheart: Like padauk, this timber’s colour will evolve with light exposure, settling over time into a deeper, richer plum tone. After washing, dry the board thoroughly, as some initial colour transfer onto a cloth is normal.
Non-slip rubber feet are included. Engravings are in capitals as standard; lower case available on request at checkout.
Allow 7–10 working days. Contact us for specific deadlines.

Lovely board and nicely finished. The colour is slightly darker than expected but still very nice.
Theo Green –
Great quality and the live edge gives it a natural look. Perfect for serving as well as chopping.
Leo White –
The colour on this is unreal. The purple tone really stands out and makes it something different.
