The everyday fourteener

The most-used board in a kitchen is rarely the biggest one. Cut in our Colorado shop from a solid piece of hard maple or black walnut, the Mt. Elbert Mini Cutting Board is sized for the work that happens every day — a lime, a loaf, a quick plate of cheese — with a grip hole that keeps it hanging within reach. It takes its name from Mt. Elbert, the roof of the Rockies at 14,440 feet, the highest point in Colorado and one of the most-climbed summits in the state. Big-mountain quality, built for the daily ascent.

Built for the daily cut

The Mt. Elbert Mini is cut from a single solid piece of hardwood, then put through our grain-raising process: the surface is wetted to lift the wood fibers, then sanded back down, so it stays smooth through years of washing instead of roughening the first time it meets water. At just over half an inch thick, it's light enough to grab one-handed and solid enough for real knife work.

Domestic woods, made in the USA

Choose Hard Maple for a bright, blond cutting surface or American Black Walnut for deep, dark grain — both cut from domestically sourced American hardwood. Every board is made in Colorado and finished with a long soak in penetrating, food-grade cutting board oil. No paints, no stains, no film finishes — just solid wood that's safe for food from the first slice.

Earns its spot by the stove

Don't let the name fool you — at 10 by 6.5 inches, the Mini matches the standard boards most kitchens reach for daily, without claiming the whole counter or crowding the sink. Use it for the small jobs, hand it over as a cheese board when company shows up, and hang it by the grip hole between rounds. Add an engraving beside the handle and it becomes the housewarming gift that actually gets used.

Frequently asked questions

How big is it? Is it really "mini"?
10 by 6.5 inches and five eighths of an inch thick. It is the smallest board in the series, which is where the name comes from, but it matches the size most kitchens use every day for a lime, a loaf, or a quick plate of cheese.
Is it one piece or glued up?
One piece. Each board is cut from a single solid piece of hard maple or walnut, so there are no glue lines and no seams to trap crumbs or moisture.
Can I hang it?
Yes. There is a grip hole along one edge, so it hangs on a hook within reach between uses.
Can it be engraved?
Yes. Use the Personalize It button above Add to Cart. Laser engraving is placed beside the grip hole along the edge.
Will a board this thin warp?
Not if it is kept dry and oiled. Hand wash, stand it on edge or hang it to dry so both faces breathe, never soak it or put it in the dishwasher, and rub in food-safe mineral oil when it looks pale. It is finished on every face, so it moves evenly with the seasons.
Maple or walnut?
Same board, two woods. Hard maple is blond and fine-grained and is the harder of the two. Black walnut is dark brown with lighter streaks. Walnut is the higher price.
Is it made in the USA?
Yes. Made in the USA, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, from hard maple or black walnut grown in the United States.

    Perfectly sized for cutting carrots, onions, herbs, or even bell peppers without taking up too much counter space. It has a silky smooth finish and a wonderfully presented grain pattern.
