A Little Maple Bar Board for Limes, Lemons, and Cocktail Hour

For the friend who always makes the drinks, the dad who runs the bar cart, or the host whose door is always open, this bar cutting board lives right where the cocktails happen. It's a mini maple board with the word Bar hand-cut into the top, sized for slicing a lime or halving a lemon without pulling out a full kitchen board. Choose it with a bottle opener on the back and it takes care of the beer, too.

Why This Bar Cutting Board Is So Lovable

  • It's small on purpose: about half the size of our small cutting board, so it can stay out on the bar, the bar cart, or a corner of the counter.
  • The word BAR is hand-cut with a scroll saw into the top of the board, so it won't fade, peel, or wear off in the wash.
  • It comes with or without a bottle opener on the back, ready for the first round.
  • It's a working cutting board: butcher block made from sustainably harvested hard maple, ready for citrus, garnishes, or a wedge of cheese.
  • It arrives packed in a muslin bag, so it's ready to give.

Every home bar needs a place to cut the limes, and this cocktail cutting board is made for that job. Slice lime wheels for a gin and tonic, peel an orange twist for an old fashioned, or pile it with mint for a round of mojitos. Once the drinks are poured, it's just the right size for a little cheese and a few olives next to the shaker. And because it's compact, it travels well. Tuck it in the bag for a picnic, a camping trip, or a day on the boat.

Each board starts as sustainably harvested hard maple in our Hampden woodshop in Baltimore. The letters are cut by hand with a scroll saw, one at a time, then the board is sanded smooth by one of our artisans. No shortcuts. Maple is light and bright, so it looks at home on any bar, and it's a hardwood that's gentle on knives.

This small bar cutting board is our go-to gift for the person who loves to entertain. It's a natural for Father's Day, a thank-you for groomsmen and bridesmaids, or a little something for a favorite host, and it's small enough to tuck into a stocking for the holidays. Want their initials instead of Bar? Our Monogram Cutting Board is the same mini size. 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

What is a bar board?

A bar board is a small cutting board that lives at the bar instead of in the kitchen. It's sized for slicing limes, lemons, and oranges and prepping garnishes, so you don't have to pull out a full-size board to make a drink. It also works as a little serving board for cheese or snacks.

What size should a bar cutting board be?

Small enough to stay out on the bar or bar cart, and big enough to halve a lemon or slice a lime into wheels. A bar cutting board is much smaller than a kitchen cutting board. The Details tab on each product page lists the exact measurements.

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.
