Custom engraved cutting boards questions, answered.
Everything buyers ask before they order — minimums, timings, artwork and print options.
What is the minimum order?
One board — most of what we make is a single gift — and programme tiers from 12 that fall steeply for realtor teams, HR calendars and venues.
How fast will an engraved board arrive?
Your proof lands within 24 hours and finished boards ship in about 2 weeks, faster for single gifts. Where a wedding or ceremony date is fixed we put the ship date in writing.
How do you guarantee the engraving is correct?
Stationery discipline: exact spelling supplied in writing, a proof at actual size, and a letter-by-letter check before anything is cut — at one board or fifty, because hardwood does not forgive typos and neither would you.
Can you engrave real handwriting?
Yes — it is our flagship. Photograph the actual card or note flat in daylight and we trace the hand stroke for stroke, keeping the crossings-out and margin notes. Faded originals get an honest assessment and a restoration pass, never guessed letters.
Can dates and addresses appear on the boards?
They are the product — wedding dates, closing dates, established years and street addresses are exactly what these boards carry. The only numbers that never appear are prices.
What goes on the back of the board?
On gift programmes, the giver’s mark — an agent’s name and number, a company’s sign-off — engraved discreetly where it lasts for decades without intruding on the front. It is the quiet referral engine of the closing-gift world.
What woods do you use, and are they food safe?
Solid hardwoods finished food-safe, and engraving cut into the grain so it survives use. For deep construction questions — end-grain, species, knife care — we keep it brief here: this site is about what the board says; our answers about how boards are built are honest but short.
Is a board always the right gift?
No — and we will say so. A board is for messages that should outlive the fridge door: names, dates, handwriting, years of service. If the sentiment is this month’s joke, send a card; if it is meant to last, engrave it.
