This heart shaped cheese board will steal your heart with its beautiful cherry wood, grooved edge, and personalization option. The groove around the edge makes it look like a heart within a heart and for each one sold a tree is planted!

Type of Wood

The wonderful thing about hardwood cutting boards is that every board is a unique piece of art. Here at Words with Boards we offer a choice of maple, cherry, or walnut for nearly all of their pieces.

Maple wood is light in color with a yellow undertone that makes it feel bright and sunny. Cherry wood is a medium shade with a redder tint. Its warm and welcoming color can add dimension to a tablescape or countertop display. Walnut is the darkest of the three kinds of wood with a rich brown hue. If you are looking for a bit of drama, it is the color for you. All three wood options make for a beautiful personalized charcuterie board.

Engravings, Carvings, and Inlays

When it comes to customized charcuterie boards, the small details, and personalized lettering can take your board to the next level. Words with Boards uses stunning, real crushed stone to create their inlay designs and combines carved lettering with laser engraving.

Inlays

The Words with Boards stone collection features three new boards to choose from. This small stone inlay board is perfect for serving two or three people and can be personalized with a beautiful initial — and makes for a wonderful monogrammed charcuterie board. You can choose from turquoise, malachite, or lapis for the inlay.

Personalized words

Creating a personalized charcuterie board with a family name, first names, or meaningful words can make a cutting board even more unique. We customize boards with one-of-a-kind hand-cut lettering and engraving options.

The hand-cut letters are created using a scroll saw. The placement along the edge of the board makes them visible even when your customized charcuterie board is full of delicious snacks. 

Labels to guide guests

Do you host guests with dietary restrictions? These boards are the perfect addition to a collection of personalized charcuterie boards for people navigating food restrictions.

Features to Look For
