This oversized chopping slab is made from Tasmanian Blackwood grown in Summerhill, Tauranga, New Zealand, and locally crafted by skilled woodworkers.

Chosen for its durability, stability, and knife friendly surface, Tasmanian Blackwood is a premium hardwood well suited to serious kitchen use. At 600 × 400, this board gives you generous space for everyday prep, breaking down proteins, or spreading out a full cook without feeling cramped.

The medium density of Blackwood is tough enough to handle heavy use while remaining gentle on high quality kitchen knives, helping them stay sharper for longer. Naturally stable and resistant to warping when cared for correctly, it is built to perform in real kitchens.

With rich grain and natural colour variation ranging from warm golden browns to deeper chocolate tones, each board is completely unique. It looks just as good on the bench as it does brought to the table for serving.

Comes with non-slip matt to keep your board firmly on the benchtop and slighly elevated off the bench.

Built to be used daily. Built to last for years.

Use our mineral oil as a perfect way to keep the colour of the wood up.

Make it personal with custom engraving.
