Description

Two of our finest surfaces, back to back.

Our reversible end-grain chopping and carving boards are designed to do two things brilliantly. One side offers the classic end-grain cutting surface — dense, self-healing, and kinder to knife blades than any flat-grain alternative. Flip the board, and you have a dedicated carving surface, with a juice groove running around the perimeter to catch every drop as you work.

Made entirely by hand in our Surrey Hills workshop from solid English oak, these boards are built to a serious standard. The end grain construction — assembling the timber so the fibres face upward — means that knife blades pass between the wood fibres rather than cutting across them. It is a construction that professional chefs and butchers have relied on for generations, and for good reason.

Available with personalised engraving along the side edge on one or both sides — names, initials, a date, or a motif from our collection of carved symbols. A private message can be added to the underside. Cutout side handles are also available to make lifting easier.

A superb gift for anyone who entertains regularly, cooks seriously, or simply wants a board that earns its place in the kitchen permanently.

All engravings are in capitals as standard; lower case available on request at checkout. 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.
