Butcher Block Chopping Boards

the professional Choice

Free UK mainland shipping on all our chopping boards

Our butcher block style chopping boards are big & solid. They come in a standard size of 43cm x 31cm and 4.5cm thick (17 x 12 x 2”). They are designed to be kept out on a work surface, not that you will want to put it away once you see them in person. We add food-safe silicon feet to all our wooden chopping boards to allow air to circulate around the chopping board, keeping it dry, and helping to stop it sliding around on your work surface.

We also take custom orders. If you are looking for a specific sized butcher block, kitchen island, or wooden chopping board please contact us.

★★★★★

We bought the Barn Block board for our new kitchen. It's beautifully crafted and is very practical too. Knives leave no mark on the end-grain surface after chopping food and, like other reviewers, we leave the board out on display as it looks like a work of art. We also like the fact that for every product sold the company plants another tree. So our block will be helping to capture carbon as well as being a brilliant addition to our modern kitchen! - Bob and Liz

I have always wanted a lovely chopping board, so l looked on line and found The Honest Wood Company. Made.to order and looked fabulous. I ordered walnut and when l received it, l was delighted. Beautifully made and 'real looker'. I've had it a couple of months, use it every day and it's still as new. True craftmanship and worth every penny. I love it !!

★★★★★

Our chopping board exudes quality and the weight is such that it doesn't move about when using it. It has a great finish and the wax protection is so simple to apply; well worth the money and really pleased we chose it. - Paul Iliffe

We’ve had our chopping board for a few months now and it’s fabulous. We use it all the time and it looks as good as new. It’s so beautiful we keep it out to admire, rather than to put it away in a cupboard when not in use!. - R Maier

We received our board as a wedding present and absolutely love it. Not only does it smarten up our urban kitchen, but it is a joy to chop on and is much better for our Japanese specialist knives. - Kate Schawz

WHAT IS THE BEST type of CHOPPING BOARD?

End-grain chopping boards are, of course! They are more hygienic, longer-lasting, better for your knives, and look beautiful!

WHAT DOES END-GRAIN MEAN?

End-grain refers to the direction of the wood grain – this is very important when making a chopping board or butcher’s block. End-grain has many benefits over face-grain: it’s better for your knives, longer-lasting, self-healing, antibacterial, and beautiful!
