This one is made to be seen. Your design is engraved across the full face of an 11 x 14 inch board of solid black walnut or hard maple, so it can lean against the backsplash, stand on an open shelf, or sit on a plate stand as the piece everyone asks about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the gift for a wedding, an anniversary, a first home, or a closing day, when you want to give something they will keep out on display instead of tucking into a drawer. Their names and their year, engraved in our shop in Albany, Oregon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoose your wood and finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoose your design: Homestead, Modern, or Field.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType the names and an optional year exactly as you want them engraved.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe fit the layout to your names, engrave it, and ship it within 1 to 2 business days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost orders arrive within 3 to 6 business days of shipping anywhere in the lower 48, and you will see an estimated delivery date at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoose your design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHomestead:\u003c\/strong\u003e Our laurel crest.

Softer and more natural than the other two. Our pick for farmhouse, cottage, and garden kitchens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery design uses the same four entries: a first name, a second first name, the family name, and an optional year. If you change your mind about the style, nothing needs to be retyped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe engrave exactly what you type.\u003c\/strong\u003e If you want EST. on the board, type it. If you want only the year, type only the year. If you want one first name, leave the second one blank.

The engraving sits tone on tone in the deep wood, softer and more subtle, and the board reads as a statement piece. Our most popular choice for gifting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMade for display, ready for use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a real, solid hardwood cutting board, and it works for everyday prep. It truly shines as a display piece, though, and we want you to know why before you order. Laser engraving is a shallow burn into the surface of the wood, so regular cutting, washing, and scrubbing on the engraved face will slowly soften and lighten the markings over time. That is the nature of engraved wood rather than a flaw in the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo keep the design crisp and dark, display the engraved side and do your everyday prep on the back, or bring it out for serving bread, cheese, and charcuterie on the days that matter. A light coat of Wood Butter now and then keeps the wood and the engraving looking rich.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it costs more than our corner-engraved board\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the same size board in the same woods. The difference is the engraving. A full-face design takes many times longer on the laser than a name in the corner, and every layout is fitted to your names before it is engraved. You are paying for that extra time and care, and for a piece that is designed to be the centerpiece of the gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEverything is included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe price you see is the whole price.

This board carries a full designed layout across the center of the face and is made to be displayed. Choose this one when the board itself is the centerpiece of the gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I still use it as a cutting board?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Just know that regular cutting and washing on the engraved face will slowly lighten the engraving over time. Many people keep the engraved side facing out and prep on the back, which keeps the design looking its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich wood should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChoose maple for the crispest, highest-contrast engraving. Choose walnut for a darker, more dramatic board with a softer, tone-on-tone engraving. For gifting, walnut is our most popular choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you add EST. for me?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The year is engraved exactly as you type it, so it is yours to shape. Type EST. 2026 and that is what goes on the board. Type only 2026 and you get only the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does it take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost orders ship within 1 to 2 business days, and most arrive within 3 to 6 business days after that in the lower 48.
