Cutting boards you can actually cut on.
We laser the graphic deep, fill it with clear food-contact epoxy, and sand the whole face flush. Then oil, add feet, and ship. You pay shipping.
Deep laser cut
The graphic is cut into the acacia — deep enough to hold epoxy, not a surface scorch.
Clear fill, seven-day cure
Loose carbon is blown out, the cut is wiped with alcohol and dried. We pour clear, un-tinted food-contact epoxy — Texas-made — and let it fully cure seven days. The dark graphic is the laser char, sealed under the fill.
Sanded flush
The whole face is sanded until wood and inlay are one smooth plane. No ridge. No catch.
Oiled, footed, shipped
Food-grade mineral oil, rubber feet on the underside, then packed. You pay the actual shipping.
Ready designs
Off the shelf, still flush-filled.

Why the fill
Surface burns sit on the wood. A flush inlay doesn’t.
A shallow scorch sits on top of the grain and leaves food debris in the grooves of the graphic. We cut deep enough to hold clear food-contact epoxy, then sand until wood and inlay are the same height. The dark graphic is the laser char, sealed under the fill — we don’t tint the resin. The top stays smooth. The board stays a board.

They get used.
Chicken, steak, a ribeye roast carved on the inlay. These are real tables — not a styled set. The juice groove works. The graphic stays flush.
Sunday bird
Roast chicken on the Spread Eagle. The inlay is under the bird, flush, so the board still works as a board.
Weeknight plate
Ribeyes and sausage on a marble counter. Juice groove doing what it was cut for.
Carved on the inlay
A ribeye roast sliced on the eagle. The groove catches the juices. That’s the point of a butcher block.
Custom work
Names, logos, ranch brands.
Family names
A past custom order — a family name on acacia. We build the board to the mark you send. We don’t sell a knife or a gift-box kit.
Shop marks
Business logos, Texas outlines, deer, area codes — if you can send a clean file, we can sink it in the board.
Teams & dugouts
Ball clubs, family ranches, matching sets. Two boards, two marks, same wood.
Straight numbers
The board has a price. Shipping is quoted before you pay.
8½ × 13 boards are $119. 13 × 19½ boards are $159. Other custom sizes are quoted and cannot exceed 13 × 19. Shipping is separate, and we’ll send the real rate before you pay.

Questions
Are these just burned on the surface?+
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.
Can I actually cut on the inlay?+
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.
What does a board cost?+
The 8½ × 13 boards are $119. The 13 × 19½ boards are $159. Other custom sizes are quoted and cannot exceed 13 × 19. We’ll quote the board before we cut, and shipping separately before you pay.
Who pays shipping?+
You do. We’ll quote the real rate — typically a small parcel from East Texas — before you pay for the board.
Do you sell on eBay?+
Sometimes, for a ready-to-ship board, because that’s where people already search. Custom names, logos, and ranch brands should come through this site so we can proof the design. eBay also takes a cut that custom work can’t absorb.
How long does it take?+
A board that’s already cured and sitting in the shop can leave in a few days. A fresh pour — ready design or custom — stays here seven days after the fill so the epoxy reaches a full cure before it ships. Most customs take 7–14 days to cut, fill, cure, sand, oil, and pack.
Is it food-safe?+
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.
What wood, and how thick?+
Acacia butcher block. Juice groove cut here — we don’t buy pre-made blanks from a distributor. 1½ inches is standard for this shop. Thicker boards can be made if the stock on the rack allows it. Oiled, with rubber feet so it sits still.
Will my board look machine-perfect?+
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.
