Personalized Scrabble Message Cutting Board

This handcrafted cutting board is personalized to your specifications and makes a perfect housewarming, wedding, anniversary, birthday or just because gift! Add names, dates, favorite city names-- even rival team names can be incorporated as well as traits that match your group of names like: "crazy", "quirky", "love", or "family".

Customized with the names, date, and other info you provide in the "notes" section at checkout. Perfect design for stacking the family names into a fun Scrabble style game layout. I do the layout work and evaluate several layouts and pick the one that fits in best. If you would prefer to approve yourself- please note at checkout to hold for your approval and I'll send you a draft. Please note this will delay your fulfillment by 2-3 days.

I only engrave one side for use as decor or serving and the other side is left plain to be used for cutting. All of my cutting boards are made from solid North American verified sustainably sourced maple hardwood or crafted from eco-friendly bamboo. I include a small card that explains how fancy it is so that your gift is a stand-out above the rest. Maple is an excellent and durable choice for cutting as it's naturally resistant to bacteria growth and makes a perfect alternative to plastics which can harbor bacteria. Bamboo resists retaining water and as a result, will not warp or crack as easily as normal wood. A highly renewable resource, bamboo's resistance to water retention also prevents letting bacteria find a place to form.

What do I treat the wood with? As is- the maple and the bamboo are left untreated. Due to nut allergies, I avoid using natural food grade finishes made from coconut or carnauba oils. To avoid use of petrochemicals, I avoid the use of mineral oils. To avoid use of animal products for the vegans, I avoid the use of beeswax. (I think that makes everyone happy!) I recommend you treat your cutting board several times a year with your choice of food-grade conditioner to maintain its oil content and prevent drying.

I will rub it with coconut oil *on request* prior to shipment. I personally usually rub mine down with a thin coating of olive or coconut oil after each cleaning. Both can be washed by using hot water and soap or a dilution of bleach and water (1 tablespoon of bleach per gallon of water).
