Cutting Board Type

No matter what a person's cooking skill level is, every cook, whether novice or expert, should have at least one cutting board in the kitchen. But, with so many amazing cutting board designs, it is easy to forget that the design is just half the decision that you need to make before finalizing your decision on what cutting board to add to your cart. As a prospective engraved cutting board purchaser, you should consider the wood type, the size, and even how you intend to use the customized cutting board. Here are a few tips to consider that may help narrow down your customized cutting board choices.

We sell cutting boards made out of wood not just for their pleasing aesthetic appearance, but for their durability and sustainability. There are four different cutting board wood types to choose from: bamboo, maple, cherry and walnut. For the best possible chance that your design pops on the cutting board and is plainly visible, we recommend choosing a lighter-tone cutting board, such as the bamboo bread board or maple wood carving board. On the other hand, our walnut and cherry wood cutting allow homeowners to have a darker canvas when setting out their food. By having the option of choosing a lighter or dark wood, you have the freedom to choose a personalized cutting board wood color that best compliments the kitchen's overall aesthetics.

Our cutting boards do not just vary in wood types, but size as well! Our smallest bar-size cutting boards are perfect for slicing up some lemon for your personal tequila bar at home. Their approximate length is 6" while their width ranges from 8" to 9". Bar boards do not have to be exclusively used at the bar; they are also ideal as wooden snack boards. Kids and adults can use the bar board as a surface area when slicing up cheese or a piece of fruit as a snack. On the other side of the spectrum, we have larger cutting boards that have a width of at least 10 inches and a height of 13". The best use for personalized carving boards of this size is when chopping large quantities of ingredients when preparing a meal.

The shape of the chopping board is another aspect that you should consider. Most of our cutting boards have a similar rectangular shape. But there are some, such as our charcuterie boards and baguette boards, that are uniquely shaped. For instance, our bamboo football shaped cutting board is a cool piece to have at a tailgate party. It can also double as a wooden plaque to show a coach some appreciation or congratulate team players on a well-played season. To cater to our fellow Texans, we also have wooden cheese platters shaped like the state of Texas. They are a cool way to add a bit of lone star charm to the home. Do not forget our wine bottle-shaped charcuterie board - a sophisticated addition to the appetizer table of a high-class social gathering.

You are now knowledgeable in the key aspects to consider when selecting a cutting board. Remember — a chopping board is more than a protective surface. It is a way to express your impeccable interior style in the kitchen.
