Live Edge Oak Chopping Board – Home Chef

A thick, well-balanced oak chopping board designed for more demanding kitchen use.

Each board is handmade from carefully selected solid oak, creating a durable and dependable preparation surface with a more substantial feel under hand. The increased thickness and weight help reduce movement during use, offering greater stability for regular cooking and heavier food preparation.

Most boards feature a natural live edge, allowing the grain, movement and individual character of the timber to remain visible. Where suitable natural edging is not available, the edge may be carefully shaped to retain the same overall appearance.

Depending on the natural width, grain and availability of the oak, your board may be made from a single solid piece or from carefully jointed sections of solid oak. This allows us to maintain the required size, strength and stability while keeping the finished design consistent.

Finished by hand with a smooth, practical surface, the Home Chef range is designed for those who want a more solid, grounded board without stepping up to the full weight and presence of the Signature range.

Natural variation in grain, colour, construction and edge shape is part of the character of real timber and means no two boards will be exactly the same.

Style
Home Chef – designed for more demanding kitchen use, offering a thicker, more substantial feel with added stability.
Live Edge
Each live edge follows the natural outer edge of the tree. Once the bark is removed, the edge is cleaned, prepared and finished by hand, but may remain uneven, textured or slightly rougher in places than a straight machined edge.
Thickness
Approx. 60mm
Sizes
Medium – approx. 400 × 280 mm
Large – approx. 600 × 280 mm
XL – approx. 600 × 360 mm

Final dimensions, including thickness, may vary by approximately 5–10 mm due to the natural variation in timber and the machining process.

Material
Solid Oak
Finish
Finished with our food-safe wax polish
Natural Character
Knots, shakes and small cracks are natural features of solid oak. Where needed, these may be stabilised using a suitably coloured wood filler or epoxy. As these materials differ from the surrounding timber, filled areas will remain visible to some degree in the finished board.

Care
Hand wash only. Do not soak or place in a dishwasher.
Maintenance
Reapply wax polish regularly for best results. Find it here
