If you want a chopping board that never feels cramped and looks like a piece of custom furniture on your kitchen island, the Highland Slab XL is the ultimate benchtop upgrade. Handcrafted in my Moruya workshop from rich Australian Tasmanian Blackwood, this colossal 700 x 420 mm end-grain butcher block is built for serious daily cooking and unforgettable hosting.

The Ultimate Knife-Friendly Prep Station There is a reason professional chefs and avid home cooks swear by end-grain timber. Because the wood fibres stand vertically, your knife blade slips gently between the grain rather than cutting across it. This self-healing surface keeps your favourite kitchen knives razor-sharp for much longer while preventing deep score marks on the board. With a massive 700 x 420 mm surface area, you have the freedom to dice vegetables, prep a full Sunday roast, or slice crusty loaves of bread without ingredients spilling onto the counter.

Engineered for Heavy-Duty Stability & Easy Handling At a hefty 60 mm thick, this board brings serious weight and presence to your kitchen. It sits on heavy-duty, non-slip rubber feet that lock it firmly in place while you chop and elevate the base so air can circulate freely underneath, preventing moisture buildup on your benchtop. When it is time to wipe it down or carry a massive grazing spread out to the dining table, the crisp chamfered edges and deep, ergonomic finger slots make lifting and moving this heavyweight slab effortless.

A Permanent Heirloom Centrepiece Part of my flagship Cucinona collection, the Highland Slab XL is far too striking to hide away in a pantry. Turning the Tasmanian Blackwood on its end reveals a mesmerising checkerboard of warm golden browns, deep chocolate streaks, and natural chatoyancy that catches the kitchen light. Plus, because this piece is over $250, your pre-order automatically includes free shipping and a complimentary tin of my board polish to keep the timber nourished from day one.

Features & Specifications:

  • Timber: Sustainably sourced Australian Tasmanian Blackwood in a durable, knife-friendly end-grain construction.

  • Dimensions: 700 mm (L) x 420 mm (W) x 60 mm (D).

  • Thoughtful Ergonomics: Detailed with clean chamfered edges and routed finger slots for comfortable, secure lifting.

  • Benchtop Grip: Fitted with heavy-duty rubber feet for rock-solid stability and protective under-board airflow.

  • Finish: Sanded to a velvety finish and conditioned with a food-safe blend of natural oils and local beeswax.

Note: Because timber is a natural material, every Highland Slab XL features its own one-of-a-kind grain pattern and tonal variations. Pre-order yours today to secure a board from my next workshop batch.
