Not only a transformation from Oak planks to Carving Board...
But also the making of a Family Heirloom...
BBC Good Food selected The Oak & Rope Company Carving Board as THE BEST carving board quite a few years ago. This was based on it's generous size, practical juice collecting grooves and well, it's juice pouring spout and superious quality.
However, when you buy one of our beautiful carving board you actually experience seeing something transforming from being something functional into something treasured right before your eyes!
Each carving board is truly unique. The very nature of wooden boards dictates that each piece has its unique pattern in the grain of the oak. You will soon notice the little natural variations and treasure them. Add your own engraving which is hand carved for your piece, it will celebrate your house name, family names, sayings or phrases. It will raise a smile every time the board comes out.
Quickly your unique board will become the centre piece of your Summer BBQ's as well as Family Roasts through the Autumn and Winter.

Which one suits you?
Small Carving Board
If your gatherings are normally for 4-5 people, this is the perfect boards for you.
Designed exactly like our larger board with the same grooves for gathering meat juices.
Perhaps the best option for those who have a smaller table or those who like to enjoy a roast more regularly than just for the big gatherings.
Best Selling Carving Board
Best selling because it can fit everything from the Christmas Turkey to a small selection of meat cuts from your BBQ.
Suitable as a house warming present, for big birthday presents or wedding presents, but also the sort of chopping board you buy yourself.
Carving Board with Studs
As an optional extra we can add some metal studs to grip on to your roast. These might be quite useful if you like your meat pulled rather than cut.
Because we don't think studs are always needed we made them removable. The studs can unscrew and attach to the back for easy storage and safe-keeping.
