Some cutting boards are for chopping. This one is for the whole meal — from cutting the vegetables to carving the turkey to using it as a charcuterie board. One side slopes gently toward a built-in channel that catches every drop of juice before it hits your counter (or your favorite shirt). Flip it over, and it's a flat, everyday board for weeknight prep. Built-in handles on both sides mean you can carry it straight from the kitchen to the table.
Why This Meat Cutting Board Is So Lovable
- The sloped side channels juices into a deep well as you carve, so a smoked brisket or a holiday roast doesn't leak across your counter on its way to the table.
- Built-in handles on both sides make it easy to carry from kitchen to table — no fumbling with a slippery, juice-slick board.
- It's not just for meat — the sloped side is just as good for watermelon, pineapple, oranges, or a full charcuterie spread.
Each one is made from sustainably forested cherry or walnut in our Baltimore wood shop, then sanded and finished by hand. It comes in two sizes — a compact board sized for weeknight meals for 2, and a larger one built for a holiday spread or a crowd around the grill. Personalize it with a name, initials, or a short message, and it becomes something more than a cutting board — it's the kind of gift a griller, a host, or "the person who has everything" will actually use. We hear from customers who buy this as a Father's Day gift, a housewarming gift, a wedding gift for the couple who loves to entertain, or simply because they wanted one for themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of wood is best for a cutting board?
Hardwoods such as maple, cherry, and walnut are popular choices because they are durable, beautiful, and gentle on knives. Each wood has its own unique grain pattern and color, allowing you to choose a style that best fits your kitchen or gifting occasion.
How do I care for a wooden cutting board?
Hand wash your board with warm water and mild soap, then prop it up so that it dries on all sides (you can also set it on a cookie rack to elevate it from the counter allowing for good air flow). Avoid soaking it in water. Periodically applying food-safe mineral oil or board conditioner will help maintain its beauty and prevent the wood from drying out.
Can personalized cutting boards go in the dishwasher?
No. Wooden cutting boards should never be placed in the dishwasher. Excessive heat and prolonged exposure to water can cause the wood to warp, crack, or split.
How long does it take to make a personalized cutting board?
Production times are generally 7-10 business days but can vary depending on the level of customization and the time of year. During holiday season, allowing extra time is always recommended. If you need it sooner, please email us at kim@wordswithboards.com
How many characters can I personalize?
The personalization field on this page shows the maximum length, and it varies by board size. Every letter is hand-cut in our Baltimore studio.
Can I use this board for raw meat?
Yes — the sloped side is designed for carving meat, with a built-in channel to catch juices as you cut. Wash thoroughly with mild soap and water after each use, and let it dry completely before storing.
What's the difference between the small and large meat cutting board?
The small board measures 12" x 9" x 1.75" and comfortably holds about 4oz of liquid in its juice channel — a good fit for smaller cuts or weeknight meals. The large board measures 14" x 18" x 1.75" and holds about 16oz, making it better suited to a holiday roast, a full charcuterie spread, or serving a crowd.
Can I use both sides of the board?
Yes, it's reversible. The sloped side is built for carving meat and catching juices; flip it over to the flat side for everyday chopping, slicing, and prep.
Is a meat cutting board a good gift for grillers?
It's one of our most-gifted boards for exactly that reason. Customers give it as a Father's Day gift, a birthday gift for someone who's always at the grill, or a housewarming gift for a couple who loves to entertain — and personalizing it with a name turns a practical tool into a keepsake.
