Handmade Chopping Boards

Nothing says sophistication like a beautifully crafted handmade chopping board as your kitchen counter centrepiece.

Beautiful, functional and long-lasting, our range of handmade chopping boards makes thoughtful and unusual wooden gift ideas that will stay with the receiver for years and years to come.

What Makes Our Handmade Chopping Boards So Special?

Our handmade chopping boards are crafted with love by The Wooden Gem, who pays close attention to the natural patterns and variations in the wood, working with these natural designs to create chopping boards that are one-of-a-kind and exclusive. No two are ever the same. This means, when you give one of our handmade chopping boards, you are giving something that can never be replicated. It is the only one like it in the world.

Here at The Wooden Gem, every chopping board is a masterpiece. As a result of the way we craft with the natural wood in mind, each board carries its own story, reflecting the charm and character of the wood it was crafted from.

Our dedication to using only the finest quality wood ensures that these handmade chopping boards are strong, sturdy, and robust – promising years of reliable use. Whether the board receives regular or occasional use, rest assured that they can withstand any challenge that comes their way, mirroring the resilience of mighty trees that stand tall against the worst of weather conditions.

Make them the treasured keepers of whatever your heart desires!

Trinket pods are uncommon to come by on the high street, especially ones made from real wood. If you’ve bought your loved ones dainty earrings or special rings in the past, it might be time to gift them a place to keep them safe when they’re not being worn with one of our trinket pods!
