Introducing The Square from Roots to Table – a bold, compact workhorse designed for serious daily prep. At 12 x 12 and 1 inches thick, this solid maple cutting board brings together strength, symmetry, and style in a footprint that fits any kitchen counter.
Crafted from 100% Canadian hardwood maple and finished with our signature mineral oil and board butter treatment, The Square is built to handle heavy chopping, mincing, and slicing – day in and day out. Whether you're breaking down a head of cabbage, prepping a stir fry, or dicing herbs, this board gives you the solid surface and dependable durability you need.
Unlike longer boards that dominate the counter or smaller ones that slide around under pressure, The Square strikes a perfect balance. Its equal-length sides give you a centered, grounded workspace that stays put while you work. It’s also a favorite among home chefs who want a substantial prep surface without sacrificing storage space or maneuverability.

🚫 Dishwasher Warning: Never put your Maple cutting board in the dishwasher. The high heat and prolonged water exposure will cause warping, cracking, and damage to the wood's finish.
🧼 Cleaning: Scrape off loose food with a spatula, then use a damp cloth with dish soap to scrub both sides. Rinse under the tap and immediately towel-dry to avoid water soaking into the chopping board. Allow it to air-dry standing on its side.
✨ Maintenance: Reapply a light coat of Roots To Table Board Butter after cleaning. This premium blend of mineral oil, beeswax, and vitamin E moisturizes and protects your custom chopping block, ensuring lasting beauty and durability.
Absolutely! The Maple square cutting board is a testament to Roots to Table's commitment to environmental sustainability:
-
Sustainable and Salvaged Wood: We source our Maple from responsibly managed forests and salvage wood from land-clearing sites, transforming what would be waste into beautiful, functional charcuterie boards. This approach conserves natural resources and contributes to carbon retention, benefiting the environment.
-
Partnership with Veritree: In our efforts to give back to nature, we have partnered with Veritree. With every chopping board sold, we plant a new tree, actively contributing to reforestation and ecological restoration efforts.
-
Minimizing Waste in Production: We actively pursue new and improved methods to reduce waste throughout our manufacturing process. We significantly reduce our ecological footprint by efficiently using every part of the wood and creatively repurposing or recycling any offcuts.
-
Eco-Friendly Packaging: Our commitment to the environment extends to our packaging choices. We use biodegradable and recyclable materials, ensuring our packaging is as environmentally conscious as our products.
-
Durability and Longevity: We craft each personalized cutting board for lasting durability, leading to fewer replacements and less consumer waste over time. The board's longevity stands as a vital component of our commitment to sustainability.
Through these practices, the Roots To Table Square Maple Cutting Board offers aesthetic and functional appeal and aligns with our vision of sustainability and respect for the environment. Choosing The Square Cutting Board means supporting responsible and eco-friendly practices.

Gorgeous and Fast!!!
This board is INCREDIBLE! Charlene handpicked the boards for the wood color and grain that I liked. I was able to select the boards that I liked, along with designs and engravings for the front and back of each board. She sent me pictures of the designs and fonts for approval. I ended up buying 4 boards. I know I will definitely buy from them again. Thank you for such great quality products and fast service!!!

A Stunning and Functional Prep Board!
This board is an absolute showstopper! The combination of maple and walnut accents gives it a rustic yet refined look that stands out in my kitchen. It’s not just about aesthetics, though—the craftsmanship is top-tier, and you can feel the quality in every detail.
The size is perfect for daily meal prep, whether I’m chopping veggies, slicing bread, or serving a small charcuterie spread. It has just the right weight—sturdy but easy to handle—and the finish is incredibly smooth.
I also love how durable and gentle on knives it is. It doesn’t show excessive wear like cheaper boards, and the wood grain adds such a unique touch. If you're looking for a premium prep board that’s both practical and beautiful, this one is a must-have!
