Personalized Maple & Walnut Cutting Board with Engraving

The gift that shows you actually thought about them.

Some gifts mark the occasion. This one marks the person.

Our maple and walnut cutting boards are handcrafted from solid hardwood, finished by hand, and laser engraved to order with a name, date, or phrase of your choosing. Whether you're searching for a personalized cutting board wedding gift, a housewarming present, a pastor appreciation piece, a church staff farewell, or something for someone who deserves more than what's on a shelf — this is the board worth giving.

— Evan D. ★★★★★

Not a name on a generic blank.

Every board is sanded smooth and conditioned with food-grade oil and beeswax before the engraving goes on — so the personalization sits on a board that would be worth giving even without it. The laser engraving is clean and precise. The wood grain shows through. You get a digital proof by email before we cut. Nothing goes into production until you confirm.

Personalize Your Board

Serif — Classic and traditional. Best for last names, family names, and formal occasions.

Script — Flowing and personal. Best for first names, romantic phrases, and engraved cutting board wedding gifts.

Monogram — Three-letter block style. Best for couples and family names.

Add your engraving request as a note at checkout — the name, date, or phrase you want engraved, and your preferred style. We'll send a digital proof to your email before we begin. No extra charge for adjustments before production.

Choose Your Wood

Maple — Light, clean, and classic. A neutral tone that fits any kitchen, with a crisp prep surface that gets better with use.

Walnut — Rich, dark, and striking. American black walnut has a depth of color that photographs beautifully and makes the board a statement piece in any kitchen. The first choice when the gift needs to make an impression.

What people give this board for

Weddings and anniversaries. Housewarmings and new homes. Pastor appreciation and church staff farewells. Realtor closing gifts. Retirement send-offs. Birthdays for the person who loves to cook. Any occasion where the gift should feel like it came from someone — not something off a shelf.

Complete the gift

The Charmer pairs this board with a jar of our handmade Board Cream, already applied before it ships. The oil is what keeps the engraving sharp and the wood looking the way it did the day it arrived. If you want to give something that arrives completely ready — board, finish, and care product included — that's the one.

Keep it looking its best

Every board ships ready to use. To keep the wood conditioned and the engraving sharp over time, treat it regularly with our Board Cream — handmade in small batches with mineral oil, vitamin E, and beeswax. It's what we use on every board before it ships.

FAQ

Which wood should I choose for a gift?
If you want the board to make a visual statement, choose walnut. If you want something that works in any kitchen, choose maple. When in doubt for gifting, walnut wins.

How does engraving work?
Add your board to the cart, then leave your engraving request as a note at checkout. We'll send a digital proof to your email for approval. Nothing goes into production until you confirm.

Can I see a preview before it's made?
Yes. Every personalized order includes a digital proof before we cut. No adjustments are charged before production begins.

How long does it take?
Most personalized orders ship within 7–10 business days. If you have a specific deadline, note it at checkout and we'll do everything we can to meet it.

Is this a good wedding gift?
One of the best. A personalized cutting board is used every day, displayed on the counter, and tied to a specific moment. Many of our customers engrave the couple's last name and wedding date. It's the kind of gift that shows up in photos years later.

Is this a good gift for a pastor or ministry leader?
Yes. A board engraved with a name, a verse, or a simple thank-you carries a weight that most appreciation gifts don't. We've shipped boards for pastor appreciation days, church staff farewells, and ministry milestones.

Are these made in the USA?
Yes. Every board is handcrafted in Albany, Oregon, from solid maple or walnut, finished and engraved in-house.

What's your return policy on personalized orders?
Because each board is made to order, we cannot accept returns on personalized items. If there's a defect or an error on our end, we'll make it right — no questions asked.
