Why We Always Choose Wooden Chopping Boards Over Plastic
Here at our workshop, we’ve always had a soft spot for the timeless beauty of wood. And when it comes to chopping boards, we believe nothing beats the warmth, character, and practicality of a handcrafted wooden board.
Sure, plastic boards are everywhere – but if you’re after something that’s built to last, kind to your knives, and looks lovely sitting on your kitchen worktop, then wood is the way to go. Let us tell you why.
Wood Is Naturally Hygienic
It surprises a lot of people, but wooden boards – especially those made from hardwoods like beech or oak – are naturally antibacterial. Unlike plastic, which can trap bacteria in deep cuts, wood helps to stop bacteria in its tracks. That’s one of the many reasons we love working with it.
Kind to Knives
A wooden board is gentler on your knives too. It has just the right amount of give, which means your blades stay sharper for longer. Plastic might seem easier at first, but over time it can wear your knives down.
Strong, Sturdy & Full of Character
We’re all about creating pieces that last – and wooden boards, when looked after properly, really do stand the test of time. If your board starts to look a bit tired, a simple sand and oil brings it back to life. Plus, each one has its own grain and markings, making it truly one-of-a-kind.
A More Sustainable Choice
Our boards are made using responsibly sourced wood, and we make every effort to reduce waste in our process. Unlike plastic, which ends up in landfill, a wooden board is a more eco-friendly option that fits right into a slower, more thoughtful lifestyle.
It Just Looks Better
Let’s be honest – a chunky, solid wood board just looks lovely. Whether you’re prepping dinner or laying out a cheese board for guests, it adds a rustic charm that plastic never could.
In a Nutshell
If you’re after a chopping board that’s built with care, full of character, and kind to your kitchen, wooden is the way to go. We love making them, and we think you’ll love using them just as much.
