Exquisite Ripple-Back & Bird’s-Eye Maple Chopping Board with Live Edge Detail
Crafted from an extraordinary and rare piece of Ripple-Back and Bird’s-Eye Maple, this chopping board is a true fusion of natural artistry and skilled craftsmanship. Every inch of its surface tells a unique story — from the swirling ripple grain that dances in the light to the hypnotic clusters of bird’s-eye figuring that bring incredible depth and texture.
This Maple Chopping Board is not just a functional kitchen piece — it is a statement of elegance, a tactile connection to nature, and a showcase of wood’s innate beauty.
Rare & Remarkable Timber Selection
Ripple-Back and Bird’s-Eye Maple is highly sought-after for its remarkable figure, but rarely found in such a large and pristine slab. The distinctive rippling effect creates a three-dimensional look that shifts and shimmers as light moves across the board. Scattered within these waves are the coveted “eyes” — tiny, swirling knots that add unparalleled character and make this piece one-of-a-kind.
The wood has been carefully selected to retain its live edge detail, celebrating the organic outline of the original tree. Natural crevices and voids remain untouched, offering an earthy contrast to the meticulously smoothed working surfaces. These features are not flaws — they are signatures of authenticity, marking the board as a true product of the wild.
Meticulous Handcrafting & Finishing
The board has been hand-sanded to an ultra-fine grade, bringing out the complex grain patterns and enhancing the natural luster of the Maple. Its surface has been treated with multiple coats of high-quality food-safe oil, which penetrates deep into the wood to nourish and protect it while leaving a silky-smooth feel to the touch.
The oil finish not only safeguards the wood but also enriches the colour tones, deepening the golden honey hues and highlighting the stunning contrast between the ripples, eyes, and darker crevice lines.
Functional Art for Your Kitchen or Table
This Maple Chopping Board board is as versatile as it is beautiful. Perfect as a chopping board for everyday kitchen prep, it also excels as a charcuterie or serving board, elevating the presentation of cheeses, breads, meats, or antipasti. When not in use, it can be proudly displayed as a piece of natural art — a centrepiece worthy of conversation.
Due to its unique grain structure and handcrafted finish, no two boards will ever be the same. This is a one-off creation — once sold, it cannot be replicated.
