Teak Chopping Board, 30cm Hand Carved

Warm teak changes the feeling of kitchen prep: quieter, more tactile, more connected to the table. This hand-carved teak chopping board has a flowing organic shape, a cut-out handle and rich, swirling grain, so it works as both a practical surface and a beautiful serving piece.

What you'll notice in the grain

• The surface carries deep honey-brown tones, darker knots and natural markings that make each board feel individual.
• Its irregular outline softens a kitchen counter, more sculptural than a plain rectangular board.
• The cut-out handle gives you an easy place to lift it from the worktop or carry it to the table.
• It suits everyday chopping, but looks good enough for bread, fruit or cheese when guests gather.
• The weight gives it a settled, substantial feel rather than the lightness of plastic.

Teak for daily kitchen work

Teak wood is valued for its density and its natural oil content, which helps it resist moisture better than many other woods. Here, that practical quality is paired with a warm polished look and a naturally varied surface, where the grain becomes part of the pleasure of using it.

Hand-carved in Indonesia

This board is hand-carved in Indonesia from teak wood, with the reference sourcing linked to carefully managed teak reserves. Teak is native to parts of South and Southeast Asia, and Java teak is especially respected for its strength, colour and close grain. The carving keeps the piece functional, but gives it the presence of a kitchen object you might leave out rather than hide away.

Using and caring for it

Use it for chopping, slicing and serving, then wipe clean after use. Avoid soaking wooden boards or leaving them in standing water. Let it dry fully before storing, and keep it away from prolonged damp so the wood can age well.

A generous kitchen gift

Common questions

Can I use both sides?
The visible side is shaped and grained for display and use. If the underside is flat, you may use it too, but keep one side for serving if you want it to stay more pristine.

Will the grain look exactly like the photo?
No. Natural teak varies in tone, knots and grain pattern, so each board will have its own markings.

Is this dishwasher safe?
No. Wooden chopping boards should be cleaned by hand and dried properly rather than placed in a dishwasher.
