Do you make other styles, like bread boards or lipped chopping boards?

Yes, we offer several different types of boards - all extremely versatile. Please see the Boards section from the Shop menu above.

Is this board a good wedding or anniversary gift?

Absolutely. Wood is the traditional 5th wedding anniversary gift, making this a meaningful and practical keepsake. These boards are also very popular as a personalised wedding gift.

Can I order a large personalised chopping board?

Yes — choose Large or X-Large for bigger gatherings, or contact us with your custom dimensions.

Is the chopping board engraved or laser-etched?

We hand carve each inscription deeply into the oak for a permanent, lasting finish.
None of our products are personalised with a laser burn, which will fade over time.

So is it a chopping board or a carving board?

All our boards are designed to be used as an everyday chopping board, while also doubling as a carving board when you’re serving roasts. The term chopping board is more commonly used in Europe, while carving board tends to be preferred in the US — but essentially they both serve the same purpose.

We stumbled across The Crafty Oak while searching for a unique gift for our daughter's wedding. When the board arrived, personalised with their new family name, we were blown away by its beauty and craftsmanship. It now takes pride of place at their Sunday dinners. They absolutely love it!

Our neighbours recommended The Crafty Oak after we admired their stunning carving board at a dinner party. Ours arrived promptly, and we’ve used it almost every weekend since. It’s beautifully crafted and so easy to care for, truly a quality purchase.

I bought this carving board as an anniversary present for my parents, who host family dinners every weekend. The preview email showing exactly what the board would look like beforehand was incredibly reassuring. They've used it several times already and keep telling me it's their favourite gift ever.

My husband is notoriously picky about his kitchen tools, so gifting him a The Crafty Oak carving board for his birthday was a gamble. He absolutely loves it, especially the maple and walnut detailing. It’s now his favourite kitchen accessory and gets proudly shown off at every family gathering.
