Giraffes & Craftz XL Live Edge Olive Wood Chopping Board

Order by 30th November for guaranteed delivery before Christmas!

Introducing our new arrival at Giraffes & Craftz, the XL Live Edge Olive Wood Chopping Board.

Each board is crafted from one solid piece—no glue used—and comes with 4 black rubber feet for stability. We oil and wax every board, making them ready to use straight out of the box.

Featuring rare 5cm stock in large sizes, these boards showcase the stunning beauty of Olive Wood, arguably the most breathtaking wood on the planet. With over 3000 chopping boards made, we are thrilled to commit to creating these incredible, durable, and visually striking kitchen essentials.

Olive wood chopping boards are commonly made from thin 1-2cm stock and normally sold as serving boards in small sizes. We have gone the extra mile and sourced 5cm THICK olive slabs to make the signature James Martin style chopping boards.

These boards are much larger!

Therefore these slabs are hard to source, really expensive and very limited.

Care Instructions

Our boards are Handmade to order and made from the best sustainable Hardwoods. 

We treat our boards twice with Mineral Oil & Bees Wax for superior protection. To ensure your board stays in the best condition please follow some our care tips:

• Do not put your board in a dishwasher. Always handwash with soapy water & hand dry.
• After time your board may start to look patchy & tired, this is completely normal & you can bring it back to its former glory, by reapplying 100% Mineral oil on a dry cloth or kitchen towel.
• If your board starts to smell due to stubborn food, cut half a lemon & scrub the board.

We recommend oiling your board every 2-4 weeks if possible. If cared for properly by following the above steps your board should last a very long time.

The Process

• We spend half a day at the Mill with an expert handselting large Olive wood slabs.
• We then spend another half a day roughly cutting the olive to get the selected sizes. Each board is then hand made and sanded to 220g.
•  Olive wood has extreme character, therefore there can be some good cracks! All cracks are filled with Black Epoxy. We feel the black Epoxy really compliments the colour.
• All boards are fitted with 4 black rubber feet. 
• All boards are oiled and waxed with natural Bees wax.
