Questions Before You Choose
Helpful answers about choosing, personalizing and caring for your cutting board.
For a classic personalized gift, start with our signature maple edge grain board. If the gift is centered around a family memory or someone's handwriting, choose the handwritten recipe board. Our round and contrasting wood boards are great alternatives when you want something visually different.
Our 18 × 16 inch maple cutting board is our best selling size and the one to choose when you want the gift to feel especially substantial. The 18 × 12 inch is a generous alternative when you want plenty of working room in a slightly easier to handle size.
Family names, couple names, wedding dates, anniversary dates, established dates and meaningful messages all work beautifully. Simple personalization usually creates the most timeless result.

Send us a clear photo of the original handwritten recipe. We use the handwriting from the image to create the engraving on the maple board so the finished piece preserves the character of the original writing.

Yes. Hard maple combines durability, stability and beautiful natural grain, which makes it an excellent hardwood for cutting boards.
Edge grain construction joins strips of hardwood so the edge of the grain forms the working surface. It creates a durable board with the attractive linear grain pattern seen in our signature maple boards.
Hand wash the board, towel dry it and allow it to fully air dry. Never soak a hardwood board or put it in the dishwasher. Condition the wood regularly with food safe mineral oil or board butter.
Many Roots To Table orders are sent directly as gifts. Each board is carefully protected and presented so the recipient still gets a thoughtful opening experience.
