What is the best personalized cutting board?
The best personalized cutting board is one you will both use and display: solid wood or bamboo for everyday chopping, with the engraving placed so it still shows on the counter. Our three most-loved picks are the Marble Grove for entertaining, a gold-edged marble board for display, and a large 19¾ inch bamboo board for daily cooking.
Marble Grove Personalized Charcuterie Board
Our best-selling board, and it isn't close. Polished marble meets warm acacia wood, with your family name engraved right where they meet, and it arrives with everything needed for the first spread. It never makes it back into the cabinet: it lives on the counter and comes out for every gathering.

Personalized Marble Charcuterie Board with Gold Edge
Genuine marble with a hand-applied gold edge and a 15" x 9" surface, engraved with a name, monogram, date or phrase from 25 layouts. Choose charcoal, white or sandstone marble, and add matching coasters or a gold knife set. It is the board people leave propped on the backsplash as decor.

Personalized Large Bamboo Cutting Board
A big, solid 19¾" x 15" bamboo board, ½" thick, with a deep drip ring that keeps juices off the counter. Your family name and year are laser engraved into the wood, centered or in the bottom corner, so it never fades or peels. It handles nightly meal prep and a full charcuterie spread equally well.
Shop NowHow do you choose a personalized cutting board?
Choose a personalized cutting board by how it will be used. For daily chopping, pick bamboo, maple or walnut with a juice groove. For serving and display, marble and acacia or olive wood looks better on the table. Then choose the engraving: a family name and year, two names and a date, a home address, or your own words.
Which wood is best for a personalized cutting board?
| Material | Best for | Look | On this page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bamboo | Everyday cutting and big spreads | Light, warm and even | Large Bamboo, Wedding, Housewarming, Custom Quote, Heart & Arrow |
| Maple | A classic, knife-friendly cutting board | Pale and bright, so engraving shows crisply | Monogram, Chopping Board, Home State, Coordinates, Pizza Board |
| Walnut | Anniversary and heirloom gifts | Rich, dark brown grain | Love Entwined, The Lovers', Butcher Block (walnut option) |
| Marble with acacia or olive wood | Serving and display, not heavy chopping | Polished stone with warm wood | Marble Grove, Gold Edge, Script Paddle, Couples, Ocean Resin |
Quick engraving tip: Keep it short. A family name and year, or two names and a date, reads beautifully across a board. Longer quotes need a bigger board, like the 23¾ inch Custom Quote Cutting Board.

What is the best engraved cutting board for everyday cooking?

Frequently asked questions about personalized cutting boards
What is the best wood for a personalized cutting board?
The best wood for a personalized cutting board depends on how it will be used. Bamboo is hard, sustainable and affordable, like the Personalized Large Bamboo Cutting Board. Maple is a classic, knife-friendly hardwood that shows engraving crisply, and walnut's dark grain suits heirloom gifts like The Lovers' Cutting Board. Save marble boards for serving.
Can you cut on an engraved cutting board?
Yes, you can cut on an engraved cutting board. The engraving is burned into the wood, so it won't peel, though knife marks will soften it over years of heavy use. Many people chop on the plain side or away from the design. The Personalized Two-Tone Cutting Board is double-sided, so you can display the engraving and chop on the back.
How do you clean and care for an engraved wooden cutting board?
Clean an engraved wooden cutting board by hand with hot, soapy water, then rinse and dry it right away. Never soak it or put it in the dishwasher, and rub in food-safe mineral oil about once a month. The USDA's cutting board guidance also recommends using a separate board for raw meat.
What should you engrave on a cutting board?
The most popular engraving for a cutting board is a family name with the year the family or home was established. Couples choose both names and a wedding date, new homeowners choose their street address or coordinates, and some people engrave a family saying. The Custom Quote Cutting Board lets you write your own lines exactly as you want them.
How much does a personalized cutting board cost?
A personalized cutting board costs about $30 to $180, and most good gift boards land between $40 and $90. Small engraved bamboo boards like the Engraved DAD Bamboo Cutting Board start under $30. Marble serving boards run $60 to $100, and heirloom pieces like the Fish Handled Personalized Cutting Board start at $176.
How long does a personalized cutting board take to arrive?
A personalized cutting board is engraved after you order, so allow more time than you would for something off a shelf. Each product page shows its own ready-to-ship estimate; the Personalized Ocean Resin Serving Board, for example, ships in 2 business days. For Christmas gifts, order by the first week of December.
