Bespoke & Personalised Chopping Boards Draft
At The Chopping Block Shop, we know that the heart of your kitchen beats with the love of cooking and having the right tools. That's why our bespoke chopping boards are fully customisable giving you the freedom to make your board exactly as you would like it. When we say fully customisable, we mean you could make a board so bespoke that it hasn't been done before. Get the ball rolling by emailing or using the contact us below and we will be in touch personally to help you design your bespoke chopping board to make sure it is suited to your needs. Our boards are handcrafted to infuse that personal touch into every culinary creation. Read some of the customsations to consider below.
The Boards Come in a Variety of Hardwoods
When designing your board with us you can opt for any hardwood we can source. We select our hardwood boards for their durability and natural charm - from the rich hues of Walnut to the classic appearance of Oak, the choice is entirely yours.
Custom Sizes and Shapes to Fit Your Needs
We offer full customization of your board, which is why we can finish it to any size or shape you desire or need. Whether you need it compact and precisely measured to fit in a specific space, or you're looking to garnish your kitchen with an extra large chopping board, or even a shape that is out of the ordinary, we can make it happen.
Engrave Your Board To Make It Yours
We offer personalised engraving on any board we make. We use state-of-the-art, high specification CNC technology to make it happen, and can also utilise a laser engraver for images or detailed logos. Engrave a name or just initials, a meaningful date, a logo, image or bespoke design, in fact pretty much anything you like. We can guide you through this engraving design service to give a personal touch to your kitchen space, or to customise and create a thoughtful gift.
Edges And Corners Of Your Board
Edge profiles: Enhance the aesthetics and functionality of your chopping board with different edge profiles.
We can offer rounded over edges for a smooth sleek look, a bevelled or chamfered edge for a smart angular finish, or simply left straight with with the sharp edges softened. For a rustic look we can recreate a live-edge look on certain wood types.
Customise With Juice Grooves
Add some juice grooves so they catch any liquids before they spill onto your countertop. Customisation examples:
- Standard Juice Grooves: A continuous groove around the edge to catch juices from fruits, vegetables, and meats.
- Custom Patterns: Want something unique? Speak to us and we will see what we can do.
- Collection Wells: we can carve a small collection well at one end, both ends or in a corner of you cutting board.
- Depth and Width: Specify the depth and width of the grooves to suit your cooking needs.
Handles For Your Board
Why not add a way to easily lift your bespoke board by adding some handles? It adds both functionality and class to the aesthetic. Some of our previous requests include:
- Built-in Handles: Smooth cut-outs on the sides for easy lifting and carrying.
- Recessed Handles: Discreet grooves on the underside, maintaining a seamless look while providing practicality.
- Leather Straps: Some companies we supply want something for the staff to hold but steel handles and the expansion in the wood don't play well together, so we innovated with high end leather straps to account for this.
Customise The Pattern of Your Board
Personalise your chopping board with unique patterns that showcase the beauty of different wood types.
Customization Options:
- Wood Combinations: Mix and match different hardwoods, such as walnut, cherry, and maple, to create striking contrasts and unique designs.
- Layered Patterns: Arrange different woods in layered or striped patterns for a visually stunning effect.
- Random Patterns: Embrace the natural randomness of wood grains, accentuated by carefully selected woods to highlight the board's natural beauty.
Choose the Thickness of Your Board
We can finish your bespoke board to any thickness to the nearest millimetre. Maybe you'd like it the same as your current work surface, or it has to stow away in a certain place, or maybe your height dictates a need for a thicker or shallower chopping board - we can do this for you.
The Finishing Touch of Your Bespoke Board
We finish all of our boards with our perfectly formulated board wax to preserve your board from the hustle and bustle in your kitchen. Our food safe wax doesn't set and harden like oils and varnishes meaning it doesn't crack or get damaged when a knife hits the board.
On ceremonial and decorative boards we offer different types of finishes to withstand the elements that you are putting it under.
