Custom Timber Chopping Board – Premium & Extra Thick

Description

Looking for a custom timber chopping board? I handcraft premium, extra-thick Australian hardwood boards in my Heyfield workshop, including unique one-off pieces and custom sizes.

Available now – $200: One extra-thick Tasmanian Oak chopping board measuring 410 × 285 × 70 mm, ready for immediate dispatch.

Custom orders: I also make larger and extra-thick chopping boards when suitable timber is available. Contact me to discuss your preferred dimensions.

Premium Custom Timber Chopping Boards – Australian Made

Every board is individually handcrafted from carefully selected Australian hardwoods, with its own natural grain, colour and character.

Some boards are extra thick, others are oversized or made from particularly attractive pieces of timber. Each one is a little different, making it a practical addition to your kitchen or a distinctive gift.

These aren’t mass-produced boards. Each one is individually made, with its own natural grain and character.

Extra-Thick Custom Timber Chopping Boards

Occasionally, I come across beautiful, thicker pieces of Australian hardwood that are ideal for creating something a little special.

Depending on the timber available, I can offer:

• Extra-thick chopping boards for a substantial kitchen work surface.
• Large or custom-sized boards to suit your kitchen.
• Unique one-off boards with distinctive timber grain.
• Boards with feet to raise them slightly above your benchtop.

Sizes and thicknesses vary according to the timber available.

Handcrafted from Australian Hardwood

Most of my chopping boards are made from Tasmanian Oak / Victorian Ash, sourced from Australian Sustainable Hardwoods (ASH), just across from my workshop in Heyfield, Victoria.

I purchase shorter lengths and offcuts from the mill, carefully selecting suitable pieces to create beautiful, long-lasting kitchen boards.

Each board is individually prepared, planed, sanded and finished by hand.

I shape the edges and corners using traditional hand planes. I also take the extra step of pre-wetting the timber to raise the grain before sanding it again to a finer finish.

This extra preparation helps prevent the board from feeling rough when it gets wet during everyday use. It’s a step many woodworkers skip, but one I consider important.

Finally, I finish each board with quality food-safe, plant-based timber oils to enhance the natural grain and help protect the timber.

A Beautiful Addition to Your Kitchen

These substantial hardwood boards are ideal for everyday food preparation, serving bread and cheese, or simply displaying on your kitchen benchtop.

Their extra thickness also makes them a distinctive gift for someone who appreciates quality Australian craftsmanship.

With proper care and occasional re-oiling, a well-made timber chopping board can provide many years of service.

I can make these boards in different sizes and thicknesses, depending on the timber available.

Sizes, Prices and Availability

As these are individually made boards, dimensions and prices vary.

Custom and premium boards generally range from $200–$350, depending on timber selection, size and thickness.

Some are ready for immediate dispatch, while others are made to order when suitable timber is available.

If the board described above has sold out, please contact me to discuss another board, including your preferred dimensions, timber and price.
