Hey, just because you’re the designated chef du life at the moment, doesn’t mean you have to lose hold of what makes you special. Like that fondness for bacon flavored ice-cream or the obsession with the chemical components of your food.

Now you can indulge all that and more with this very cool handmade wooden Hand Carved Periodic Table Wooden Cutting Board, which will say more about your inner being than you can imagine. Each board is made to order in California, US of A, and features wood, beeswax and food grade mineral oil in the construction.

It’s available in a number of sizes and wood types, ranging from 8×12 in maple up to 10×15 in cherry. The rear of the board is plain and without any fancy elemental engraving, so we suggest you might want to use that side for your serious chopping and slicing. Then you’ll be able to show off your culinary and scientific skills to visitors properly on the engraved side. They’re billing it as a perfect gift for teachers and science students, and we have to agree. Priced from $45 / £29.
