Carved in, not burned on

This personalized cutting board is 19 by 10.5 inches and an inch and a half thick, cut from a solid panel of hard maple or American black walnut, with your custom text carved directly into the wood. The engraving is physically cut into the face, not laser-burned, so it stays crisp for the life of the board. A juice groove wraps the cutting area and a handhold in the top right corner makes it easy to lift. Named for the Elk Mountains fourteener outside Aspen, each board is made to order and handmade in Colorado.

Carved, not laser burned

Your text is carved into this cutting board as a V-groove engraving, leaving beveled letters with real depth and clean wood at the bottom of every stroke. There is no scorching, no soot, and no surface mark to wear away with use. Every personalized board is engraved to order; allow two to three extra weeks.

Juice groove and handhold

The juice groove runs the full cutting area and steps up around the engraving panel, so runoff from a roast or a watermelon stays in the channel and away from your lettering. The handhold in the top right corner is cut as a triangle, an intentional nod to the peak, and gives you a solid grip on a 19-inch board whether it is headed to the table or the sink.

Smooth after the first wash

Before final sanding, the surface is wetted to raise the grain and then sanded back, so this wood cutting board stays smooth after washing instead of turning rough the first time it meets water. It is finished with food-safe mineral oil and ships with a free tin of wood butter to keep it that way.

Frequently asked questions

Is the engraving carved or laser-burned?
Carved. Your text is cut into the wood as a V-groove, so the letters have real depth and clean wood at the bottom of every stroke. There is no scorching or soot, and the lettering does not wear off the way a surface-only laser mark can.
How many characters can I engrave, and where does the text go?
Up to 15 characters, carved in the font shown in the product photos. The text goes on the flat panel at the top right of the board, beside the triangular handhold and outside the juice groove, so it stays out of the cutting area and away from liquids.
Can I order it without engraving?
Yes. Leave the engraving box unchecked and the board ships with the panel left plain. It is the same board, with the same juice groove and handhold, and the 2 to 3 week engraving lead time does not apply.
How long until it ships?
Each board is engraved to order. Allow 2 to 3 weeks before it ships, plus transit time. If you need it by a specific date, email us before ordering and we will tell you whether the timeline works.
Does food get stuck in the lettering? How do I clean it?
The engraving sits on the rim outside the juice groove, so juices and crumbs from cutting stay in the channel rather than in the letters. Wipe the lettering with a damp cloth, and use a soft brush if anything settles in the grooves. Hand wash only; never soak the board.
What is the difference between the maple and walnut boards?
Color and grain. Both are solid American hardwood, the same size, with the same carved engraving. Hard maple is pale and fine-grained, and the lettering shows with strong contrast. Black walnut is deep brown, and the lettering reads by its shadow and depth. Walnut is the higher-priced option.
How do I care for the board?
Hand wash with warm water and mild soap, dry it upright, and never put it in the dishwasher or leave it soaking. When the surface looks dry or pale, rub in food-safe mineral oil or the wood butter that ships with the board. Before final sanding the grain is raised and sanded back, so the board stays smooth after washing instead of turning rough.
Can I return a personalized board?
Personalized boards cannot be returned or exchanged unless we made an error. If the engraving does not match what you entered, or the board arrives damaged, contact us and we will make it right.
Is it made in the USA?
Yes, it is made in the USA. The board is cut, carved, and finished in Colorado Springs, Colorado, from American hard maple or American black walnut.

    Amazing Quality

    Just received the pyramid peak cutting board and this thing is a beast! By far the thickness and weight is beyond anything I’ve come across. The engraving is clean, crisp, and adds a quality touch with our chosen custom engraving. I chose walnut, however I have no doubt that other colors would be excellent. Stop thinking about it- and just get this, you will love it!
