Decorating your kitchen and dining areas with practical and aesthetically pleasing items, like custom wood cutting boards, is a great way to infuse a bit more of your personal style into your space. Add some flair to your kitchen with a custom cutting board created exactly to your specifications by the woodworkers on Etsy.


You’ll have a few decisions to make as you customize a cutting board. Here’s what you need to know:


  • Wood: From cherry, mahogany, and walnut to light oak, maple, and bamboo, the first choice when selecting handmade cutting boards is the material. You can choose a wood that matches your kitchen to keep your style cohesive, or select the wood tone you like the most and let it be an accent in your room.
  • Size: If you plan to display the cutting board in your kitchen and have the room, opt for a larger size so it stands out on the counter, leaning against your range, or hanging on the wall. The sellers on Etsy offer an assortment of sizes, including oversized, extra-thick, and extra-long options.
  • Handles: A small shop on Etsy can easily design your cutting board with a built-in handle for convenient maneuvering or hanging it in your kitchen for decoration.
  • Personalization: Personalize your cutting board with your last name, a monogram, a favorite quote, a special anniversary date, or a family recipe carved or burned into the surface to create a family heirloom.

Wood cutting boards, such as custom walnut cutting boards are generally better for knives. Woods like walnut are gentle on knives while offering a durable, hard surface for chopping, slicing, and dicing.


While a custom glass cutting board is a beautiful addition to any kitchen, the surface could weaken knives over time and is better suited for decorative or serving purposes.

Cutting boards can last for quite awhile if they’re properly cared for and may not need to be replaced very often. Often, the seller will provide you with specific care instructions based on the type of wood and the construction of your cutting board. However, if your custom kitchen board has become overly worn, is splitting or cracking, or has deep grooves, it’s a good idea to replace it.
