Build Your Own Cutting Board | Custom Handmade Butcher Block

The Build Your Own Cutting Board experience is perfect for anyone who wants a personalized, handcrafted kitchen piece made with quality and creativity. Instead of buying a premade board, the Build Your Own Cutting Board option lets you select your wood types, sizes, patterns, and finish styles to create something truly unique. Whether you prefer walnut, maple, cherry, or exotic hardwoods, the Build Your Own Cutting Board process ensures your final product reflects your taste and craftsmanship.

Ideal for home chefs, food lovers, and woodworking enthusiasts, the Build Your Own Cutting Board approach gives you full control over thickness, grain direction, and design layout. Each board created through the Build Your Own Cutting Board method is both functional and durable, capable of handling chopping, slicing, and everyday kitchen use. With proper conditioning and oiling, boards made from the Build Your Own Cutting Board process last for years while maintaining their beauty.

Handmade to order in our Ohio woodshop, each board is built for daily use and lasting beauty, finished with 100% food-safe mineral oil and beeswax for a smooth, protective surface.
