Chopping Board Teak Wood 40 cm

Warm teak brings a slower, more tactile feel to everyday prep. This teak chopping board turns slicing, serving and setting out simple food into a small kitchen ritual, with natural grain that feels far kinder than plastic and a weight that sits reassuringly on the worktop.

What you'll notice in daily use

• The teak has a naturally warm tone, bringing softness and depth to a kitchen surface.
• Its grain gives each board its own character, so the piece feels individual rather than uniform.
• The board feels substantial in the hand, made for steady chopping rather than flimsy prep.
• It works just as naturally for cutting bread, fruit and vegetables as it does for setting out cheese or small dishes.
• Teak contains natural oils, which help the wood resist water better than many softer woods.

Hand-carved teak from Indonesia

This board is made from teak wood and hand carved in East Java, Indonesia. The timber comes from carefully managed teak reserves, giving the piece a grounded sense of origin as well as practical purpose.

Teak is valued for its dense feel and natural oil content. In the kitchen, that means a board with warmth, presence and a surface that ages with use rather than looking disposable.

How it fits into the kitchen

Keep it within reach for the everyday jobs that make a kitchen feel lived in: chopping herbs, slicing fruit, preparing bread, or carrying a small spread to the table. The natural wood grain also lets it sit comfortably on open shelving or against a tiled splashback between uses.

Caring for the wood

Wash by hand with mild soap and warm water, then dry it upright so air can move around both sides. Do not soak it, leave it in standing water, or put it in the dishwasher.

As with most wooden chopping boards, occasional oiling with a food-grade board oil helps the surface keep its depth and reduces drying over time. Cut on both sides if you want the wear to develop evenly.

Common questions

Can it be used for serving as well as chopping?
Yes. It is a chopping board, but the natural teak grain also makes it suitable for presenting bread, fruit, cheese or small dishes at the table.

Will the colour change with use?
Natural wood changes gradually with handling, washing and oiling. Teak may deepen when oiled and soften in tone as it becomes part of the kitchen.
