Transform your worktop with a show-stopping chef board crafted from solid English oak and finished with your choice of striking resin inlays. Each piece is shaped, burned, and finished by hand in our countryside workshop — no two will ever look the same.
What Makes It Special
Live edge English oak full of character, depth, and natural grain
Lichtenberg lightning pattern created by (very safely) running high voltage through the wood
Custom resin inlay — choose a colour that complements your kitchen or go bold
Hand-finished with a smooth, food-safe wax blend
Sustainably sourced timber, rescued from trees felled for construction projects and given a second life
This is the kind of board that makes guests say, “Where on earth did you get that?”
Your Options
Choose your:
Length: 40cm / 50cm / 60cm
Depth: 25–30cm (add a note if you have a preference)

Thickness: approx. 2–3cm
Finish: Smooth, waxed, and ready for use
What You Should Know
Every board is completely one-of-a-kind — expect unique knots, patterns, and natural features
Resin is used to stabilise any imperfections, ensuring long-lasting durability
Keep away from direct heat; avoid placing hot pans on the board
Hand wash only; avoid soaking or very humid environments
Treat with chopping board oil/mineral oil every 12 months to keep it looking its best
Some resin colours may appear darker when poured into the Lichtenberg burns — this is normal and part of the effect
Cutting will naturally leave marks over time (as with any wooden chopping board)
The Story Behind the Wood
We’re a small, family-run workshop, and sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Most of our oak comes from local sawmills saving timber that would otherwise be lost — like trees removed during HS2 and other infrastructure works. The wood is sawn, seasoned, and then crafted into something beautiful rather than being burned or wasted. That matters to us.
