The Captain’s Cutting Board is a sleek and nautical dark wood cutting board for the modern chef in your life. Made with black walnut, hard maple, and bubinga or jatoba (depending on availability), when combined and finished the dark wood cutting board gives off a satiny finish that contrasts beautifully.
But don’t let the luster fool you, the Captain is a beast in the kitchen. These hardwoods are durable and can hold up to be used as your everyday cutting board.
The Captain’s Cutting Board is part of our exclusive “Anker” Collection. The Anker Collection is our fresh take on the traditional kitchen board set. Each piece in the collection features an optional Anchor logo you can have engraved in the corner of the product. We know it’s spelled incorrectly but we spiced up the name for some added fun.
This Collection also includes two serving boards and a matching Cap Catch. Collect them all and complete the set for a modern kitchen set.

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). Below are some of our favorite tips for personalized gifts!
Some common questions when shopping for engraved cutting boards
Where do you put the text on an engraved cutting board?
We personalize the TOP of the board, and put the juice groove on the BACK of the board. This way, the engraved side can be used for charcuterie displays and the back can be used for chopping.
If you would rather personalize the cutting side, please indicate this in the notes section at checkout.
What text should I feature on an engraved cutting board?
This is a common question! For a simple engraving, we recommend one of four popular choices. (1) large initial or monogram (2) last name (3) wedding date or (4) longitude and latitude coordinates of a special place.
What is the correct layout for a monogram
For a traditional monogram, with a larger center initial, follow the rules noted below.
Individual’s monogram = first, last, middle (for example, Carrie Pearl Smith = cSp)
Couple’s monogram = wife’s name, last name, husband’s name (for example, Caroline and Scott Miller = cMs)
Where can I find GPS coordinates of a physical address?
We like using Google Maps for GPS coordinates. Simply enter a physical address and right click on the red pin to view the DD (decimal degrees) coordinates. If you would like to use DMS (degrees, minutes, seconds) follow this formula.
Does food get stuck on an engraved cutting board?
We get this question a lot. Honestly, we have not had a problem with food getting stuck in the engraving. If bits of cheese do get wedged into the grooves of your engraved cutting board, we recommend using a soft bristle brush (an old toothbrush works great) to clean in between the grooves.
How do you treat wood cutting boards to make them food safe?
Our wood cutting boards are treating 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?
Detailed wood cutting board care instructions are listed on our website, along with a YouTube video for reference. But generally, 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!
