If you’re shopping for a gift, consider an engraved cutting board for a truly unique and personal touch. Personalized cutting boards often feature a couple’s monogram, last name, or even the latitude and longitude of a favorite place (like their wedding venue or engagement spot). Browse the Inspiration Gallery for examples of engraved gifts. We also wrote an entire blog post with tips for personalizing your cutting board.
Each of our cutting boards are handmade with care and precision, ranging in size and wood type. To narrow down the choices, first consider whether you prefer a thinner or thicker cutting board (see our favorites in the FAQ below) or check out our blog post How to Pick the Best Cutting Board.
Butcher Block Cutting Boards
Common Questions
When shopping for a butcher block cutting board.
What is the standard thickness of your cutting boards?
The most common thickness for an engraved cutting board is 1.25”-1.5” thick. Popular choices are the Sand Hills, Signature Essentials, The Original, Carving Board and Cole Cutting Board.
I want a BIG board to be the focal point on my countertop.
That’s awesome! You’re speaking our love language. Check out the The Original XL, Cherry Edge XL or the BAB. These cutting boards range from 2”-2.5” thick and have handles carved into the sides for easy lifting.
I love grilled steaks & smoked BBQ. Do you have a cutting board for BBQ?
Alright, now you’re really speaking our language. We built two cutting boards specifically for smoked BBQ and grilling (…think brisket, pulled pork and ribs). These boards feature a wild pattern of grooves designed to catch the juice from your grilled BBQ. Check out the River Rock Farm Board and the Circle Walnut Board to see these cutting boards in action.
And if you need a cookbook to pair with the cutting board, we highly recommend Franklin Barbecue: A Meat Smoking Manifesto.
How do you treat wood cutting boards to make them food safe?
Our wood cutting boards are treated with mineral oil. Mineral oil is 100% food safe and great for conditioning wood. You can also use coconut oil as an alternative to mineral oil. General care instructions are given with your engraved cutting board. You can also find wood cutting board care instructions and a video on our website.
Tips & tricks for wood cutting board care?
Our recommendations are: (1) wash both sides of the board with soap/water (2) stand the board on its edge overnight to dry, and (3) condition all sides with mineral oil. Easy as 1-2-3! For more info check out our video on YouTube!
