Handmade from reclaimed wood in Lincolnshire, this chicken-shaped serving board is perfect for enjoying a boiled egg. It is the work of Carol Ridler, who set up her business, Hand Crafted Wood, in 2006, inspired by English country life, tradition and the seasons. Working from her home overlooking the Vale of Belvoir, each piece is individually designed, drawn, cut and finished by hand, using locally sourced reclaimed wood. The board includes its own egg cup.
