Feast your eyes on this beauty: a solid walnut chopping board measuring a generous 700 x 390mm. This isn’t just a board — it’s a statement piece for your kitchen.



The grain? Absolutely stunning.
The colour? Rich, warm walnut that glows in the light.
The size? Big enough for serious prep, grazing spreads, or that “casually impressive” platter moment when friends pop in.



It’s the kind of board that makes you want to cook. Or at least dramatically slice something while admiring it.

A must-have for any kitchen
Practical, solid, and built to last
Beautiful enough to leave on display


It’s going on sale this Saturday at the River Market, Whanganui — come and have a look in person. Fair warning: once you see that grain up close, you’ll want to take it home.
