Cutting boards you can actually cut on.

No. A surface burn sits on top of the wood and leaves food debris in the grooves of the scorched graphic. We cut deep, fill with clear food-contact epoxy, and sand the inlay flush so the top is one smooth plane. The dark lines you see are the laser char, sealed under the fill — we don’t tint the resin.

Yes. That’s the point. Once it’s filled and sanded, the graphic is in the board, not on it. Knives ride over it. They’re made as butcher-block cutting boards, not display pieces — even if most people never put a knife to them.

Small boards are $119. Large boards, up to 13 × 19 in at this time, are $159. Sizes between those fall in that range. Shipping is extra. An artwork fee applies only if we don’t get a usable file. SVG files work best.

You do. We’ll quote the real rate — typically a small parcel from East Texas — before you pay for the board.

Sometimes, so a design can be found. The board is still made after the order is confirmed. Names and company logos should come through this site so we can proof the file. An SVG works best.

Every board is created after the order is confirmed. Nothing is cut until you approve the proof. The pour stays here seven days so the epoxy reaches a full cure. Most boards take 7–14 days to cut, fill, cure, sand, oil, and pack.

Clear, un-tinted food-contact epoxy in the inlay — fully cured seven days before it leaves — and food-grade mineral oil on the wood. We don’t add color; the dark graphic is the laser char, sealed under the fill. Hand-wash, don’t soak, don’t dishwasher. Re-oil when the face looks dry.

Acacia butcher block. Juice groove cut here — we don’t buy pre-made blanks from a distributor. 1½ inches is standard. Thicker boards can be made if the wood on the rack allows it. Oiled, with rubber feet so it sits still.

No. Every board is one of a kind. Wood is never perfectly uniform. You may notice a slight divot where the grain shifts, or a tiny bubble or speck in the epoxy inlay. That is the handmade process. It does not change how the board cuts or how long it lasts.

No. Because the boards and juice grooves are handmade, edges, grooves, and sanding will vary a little from piece to piece. That’s the wood and the shop, not a defect. The finished piece is a butcher block you can cut on.
