A Personalized Serving Board for the Center of the Table

Give this personalized long cutting board to the people whose door is always open. It's long and narrow, made to sit in the middle of the table with cheese, crackers, and a little something sweet lined up end to end. Their names, or a word that means something to them, are hand-cut into solid American hardwood, one letter at a time, so the personalization is part of the board itself.

Why This Long Cutting Board Is So Lovable

  • The long, narrow shape lines up cheese, charcuterie, crackers, and fruit side by side, and still leaves room on the table for plates and glasses.
  • The lettering is hand-cut with a scroll saw into the top edge of the board and sanded smooth, so it won't fade, peel, or wear off in the wash.
  • It earns its spot between parties, too: use it as a trivet, or leave it out with flowers or candles as a centerpiece.
  • It's butcher block made from sustainably forested American hardwood, in your choice of maple, cherry, or walnut.

A long board changes where the food goes. Instead of a platter that takes over one end of the table, it sits down the center, within easy reach from both sides. It's a cheese board, a charcuterie board, or a dessert board, depending on the night. It's also a natural fit for a narrower spot, like a sideboard, a kitchen island, or the coffee table.

Every board starts as sustainably forested American hardwood in our Hampden studio in Baltimore. The letters are cut by hand with a scroll saw, one at a time, then sanded smooth by one of our artisans. Choose the wood that suits them: maple is light and bright and goes with everything, cherry warms to a deeper red over time, and walnut is rich and dramatic.

Two first names make it a wedding or engagement gift. A family name, or the name they've given the house, makes it a housewarming gift. A single word works just as well. We've cut “Grateful” into this one, which feels right for a board that comes out when there's company. And because we plant a tree in the U.S. for every board we sell, your gift gives back a little, too.

Make It Yours

Add up to 12 letters: two first names, a family name, a nickname, or a short saying, then choose Classic or Script lettering. Want to mark the day? Add a laser-engraved date, like a wedding date, an anniversary, or the day they moved in. You can also add rubber feet, which lift the board off the counter so it dries evenly and is easier to pick up. Prefer a single initial? Our long serving board with a single initial is the same size, with one letter cut into the wood on the left side.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are custom cutting boards a good wedding gift?

Personalized cutting boards are one of the most thoughtful wedding gifts because they are both practical and sentimental. Couples use them for entertaining, meal preparation, and creating memories together in their new home.

What occasions are personalized cutting boards appropriate for?

Personalized cutting boards make wonderful gifts for weddings, anniversaries, housewarmings, engagements, bridal showers, Mother's Day, Father's Day, retirements, realtor closing gifts, and holidays. They are also a thoughtful way to commemorate family recipes and milestones.

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 many characters can I personalize?

The personalization field on this page shows the maximum length, and it varies by product and size. Not sure your wording will fit? Email or text us before you order and we'll help you find a layout that looks great.

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

Can I see a proof before my board is made?

We do not provide proofs unless the board has special design features, such as custom messaging or logos not shown on the web site.

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.
