It’s Happy Hour Somewhere: A Bar Board Hand-Cut in Baltimore
For the friend who always has ice in the bucket and the door open, this happy hour cutting board is the gift that gets a laugh and then gets used. The words "Happy Hour" are cut right out of solid maple butcher block in our Baltimore woodshop, and the board was picked for Oprah's Favorite Things list in 2015. Slice the limes on it, then carry out the snacks.
Why This Happy Hour Cutting Board Is So Lovable
- The words "Happy Hour" are cut out of the wood by hand with a scroll saw, so they won't fade, peel, or wash off.
- It's a working cutting board made of hard maple butcher block, ready for citrus, garnishes, and whatever else the bar needs.
- It doubles as a serving board. Set out cheese, olives, and nuts and bring it straight to the coffee table or the porch.
- One customer called it "not too small, not too big," which makes it an easy size to hand to a host.
- Choose With Lime and the middle of the "O" in "Hour" gets a little lime art, laser engraved in our woodshop. Prefer it plain? Choose Without Lime.
Somewhere, it's always five o'clock. This is the board that comes out when the workday ends and the first friend rings the bell. Cut lemons and limes for a round of drinks, wipe it down, and pile it with cheese and crackers. When the party's over, it's too good-looking to hide in a cabinet.
Each board is made in our Hampden woodshop in Baltimore from sustainably harvested hard maple. The words are cut by hand with a scroll saw, then the board is sanded smooth and finished. Maple is light and bright, the wood that goes with everything, so you don't have to guess at their kitchen.
Customers give this board as a hostess gift and to anyone who loves to entertain. One ordered three at once, and another received it as a gift and came back to buy one for a friend. There's no name to spell and no layout to decide, so it's an easy one to send. And because we plant a tree in the U.S. for every cutting board we sell, your gift gives back a little, too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a happy hour board a good hostess gift?
It's one of the easiest gifts to bring to a host. Customers give it as a hostess gift, a housewarming gift, and a present for the friend who's always the one entertaining. It's a working cutting board and a serving board in one, so it gets used long after the party.
Can I add a name to this board?
This design comes as shown, without personalization. If you'd like names or your own words, take a look at our personalized cutting boards, or email kim@wordswithboards.com about a custom project.
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.
What happens if I'm not happy with my order?
We unconditionally guarantee every gift we make. If something arrives that doesn't live up to your expectations — a defect, damage in transit, anything that isn't right — contact us and we'll make it right by sending a replacement.
We've been doing this since 2013, and we'd rather you tell us when something's wrong than walk away unhappy. Email kim@wordswithboards.com or use our contact page and we'll take care of you.
