There's something quietly satisfying about a well-made chopping board — the weight of it on the worktop, the give of the grain beneath the blade, the way it becomes the quiet centre of a meal in progress. Our teak chopping boards are handcrafted from dense, naturally oily teak wood, bringing a warm, tactile honesty to the kitchen that synthetic alternatives simply cannot match. Whether you're preparing a weeknight dinner or laying out a spread, these boards are built to serve, season, and age beautifully over time.
What you'll find in this collection
Each board is crafted from sustainably sourced teak, a hardwood prized in kitchens the world over for its tight grain and exceptional resistance to moisture and warping. Our range spans several sizes — from compact 30 cm hand-carved boards suited to herbs and small prep, to generous 50 cm boards that give you ample room for larger vegetables, breads, or a full cheese board arrangement. Shapes include classic rectangular forms as well as more playful silhouettes, such as a pineapple-shaped board that doubles as a striking serving piece. Every board arrives ready to use; no sealing or treatment is required before first use.
Why teak is a cook's favourite
Teak contains its own natural oils, which make the wood inherently resistant to water penetration, bacterial growth, and the cracking that can plague lesser timbers. This means a teak chopping board is less likely to split or warp with use, and its surface is gentle on knife edges — a small but meaningful consideration if you cook regularly. Over time, with light oiling, the wood deepens in tone, developing a rich patina that tells the story of many meals. It's a piece that improves with use rather than wearing out.
Ways to use it
Though firmly at home at the cutting station, a teak chopping board is equally at ease as a serving board. Slice, arrange, and present — from antipasti and charcuterie to warm bread and seasonal crudités — without needing a separate serving piece. When not in use, lean it against a backsplash or wall: a well-crafted wooden board is decorative in its own right and brings a natural, grounded warmth to open kitchen shelving. Pair with our natural placemats on the dining table, or alongside a Himalayan salt block for an elevated, ingredient-forward spread.
Frequently asked questions
How do I care for my teak chopping board?
Wash by hand with warm water and a mild detergent — avoid soaking or putting wooden boards in the dishwasher, as prolonged moisture exposure can cause warping. After washing, dry immediately with a clean cloth and allow to air-dry fully before storing. Every few weeks, or when the wood begins to look dry or pale, wipe the surface with a thin layer of food-safe mineral oil or a specialised board oil. This simple routine keeps the grain nourished and the surface in good condition.
Will a teak board damage my knives?
Teak is a relatively knife-friendly hardwood. Its tight, dense grain provides a yielding surface that is gentler on edges than stone, glass, or bamboo surfaces. Using a quality chopping board in teak will help your knives hold their sharpness longer than harder countertop materials. We recommend using wooden boards for general food preparation and reserving very hard stone or ceramic surfaces for tasks that don't involve slicing.
Can I use teak boards for raw meat and fish?
Yes, teak boards can be used for raw meat, poultry, and fish. As with any chopping board, it is important to wash the board thoroughly with hot, soapy water immediately after cutting raw protein. Some cooks prefer to designate one board specifically for meat and another for vegetables and dairy — this is a sensible precaution and easy to manage if you have more than one board.
What size board should I choose?
This depends on how you cook. A 30 cm board is ideal for everyday prep — small enough to store easily and comfortable for tasks like slicing herbs, prepping a single portion, or chopping vegetables for a quick meal. A 40 cm or 50 cm board is better suited to larger tasks: prepping multiple ingredients for a dinner party, carving, or using the board as a serving piece for bread, cheese, or charcuterie.
Are these boards handcrafted?
Yes. Each board in this collection is hand carved, which means slight variations in grain pattern, tone, and shape are natural and to be expected. This is part of the character of a handcrafted wooden board — no two are identical, and the craftsmanship of the maker is visible in the finished piece.
