A Unique Cutting Board Shape, Monogrammed with a Single Initial
For the friend with a new house, the sister who bakes her own bread, or the host who always has something out on the counter, this leaf-shaped cutting board looks like nothing else in their kitchen. It's solid American hardwood cut in the shape of a leaf, with a single initial that makes it theirs. Of all our cutting board designs, this is the one that gets the oohs and aahs.
Why This Leaf-Shaped Cutting Board Is So Lovable
- The leaf shape makes even a simple spread look styled, whether it's a wedge of cheese, a loaf of bread, or a full charcuterie board.
- It's a working cutting board, too: butcher block made from sustainably forested American hardwood, sturdy enough for everyday chopping.
- It's pretty enough to leave out. Customers tell us they keep it on the counter or a baker's rack as kitchen art between uses.
- Choose maple, which is light and bright and goes with everything, or cherry, which warms to a deeper red over time.
Our favorite way to use this board is for serving. Load it up with cheese, salami, and fruit for a party, or keep it simple with warm bread and a dish of dipping oil. It's an easy size to carry from the island to the table or out to the deck, and a leaf looks especially at home on a fall table, from the first cool weekend through Thanksgiving.
Each board is made in our Hampden woodshop in Baltimore from sustainably forested American hardwood, then sanded and finished by hand. The initial is laser engraved in the same woodshop, so the board is theirs before it ever leaves our hands.
Customers give this one most often as a housewarming gift. One sent it to her sister's new summer house, where it holds bread and appetizers on the deck and sits on the baker's rack the rest of the time. It's a thoughtful wedding or bridal shower gift, too, especially for a couple who share a last initial. And because we plant a tree in the U.S. for every cutting board we sell, your gift puts a new tree in the ground as well.
Make It Yours
Choose maple or cherry, then add one initial, laser engraved: a first name, a last name, or the family name. You can also add rubber feet, which keep the board from sliding on the counter. Not sure which wood they'd pick? Maple goes with everything.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which initial should I use for a monogram?
For one person, a first or last initial both work. For a couple or a family, the last initial is the classic choice, as long as everyone shares it.
Are personalized cutting boards safe to use for food preparation?
Yes! High-quality wooden cutting boards are safe for food prep when properly cared for. We think they really shine when used as a charcuterie board. Personalized cutting boards can be both functional and meaningful, making them a gift that is enjoyed for years to come.
How long does it take to make my order?
It depends on the product. Each product page lists its production time in the Shipping tab, and personalized pieces are made to order in our Baltimore studio. During the holiday season, allowing extra time is always recommended. If you need it sooner, please email us at kim@wordswithboards.com
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.
When will my order ship?
Most orders ship within 1–2 business days after they're ready. Personalized and made-to-order items are made first, and the Shipping tab on each product page lists that production time.
Once we generate a shipping label, you'll get a confirmation email with a tracking number. It can take up to 24 hours for the carrier to start updating tracking information, so don't worry if it shows nothing right away.
Sending this as a gift? We never include pricing on the packing slip — so it's safe to ship directly to the recipient.
