Description

The Original started it all. Matt began making and giving away an early version of this beautiful edge-grain blend of hardwoods and exotic woods cutting board. Not only did the unexpected declarations of love from board recipients surprise him,  but they also convinced him he was on to something big!

The Original is our most tried and true, tweaked, and perfected design. Both domestic and exotic hardwoods make up the original cutting board pattern. It is a substantial board with a striking array of alternating wood tones.

The Original is the perfect gift when you're just not sure what to go with. It's a great size, weight, and design that fits with any kitchen or food prep area. The cutting board pattern is made of colorful materials that will naturally darken over time. The change in color adds a unique blend of classic wood characters with popping exotic colors for an ideal cutting board.

This board uses many hardwoods, including South American Purple Heart and African Padauk. These two imported hardwoods will definitely have your friends and family in awe. Some might say that keeping one side knife free for charcuterie spreads will keep that unique Original pattern cutting board looking fresh.

Adding a monogram, juice groove, or custom text makes it a coveted cutting board gift for any occasion and a kitchen must-have.

Materials used in this product include:

  • Hard Maple
  • Black Walnut

FAQs

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!
