Boards made around the way you use them

Custom cutting boards in Ottawa

Custom boards work best when the size, use, and wood choice are clear from the start. Send the rough dimensions, whether it is for prep or serving, and any past board you want to use as a starting point.

What matters

Board details that change the build

A prep board, a serving board, and a gift board do different jobs. The quote needs to know which job matters most.

  • Prep boards need a practical working surface, comfortable thickness, and a food-safe finish.
  • Serving and charcuterie boards can lean more into shape, handle details, and table presentation.
  • Wood mix, end-grain or edge-grain style, juice groove, handle opening, and deadline all affect the quote.

Quote details

What to send for a board quote

You do not need a finished drawing. Clear practical details are enough for the first reply.

  • Approximate length, width, and thickness.
  • Prep board, serving board, charcuterie board, or gift.
  • Wood colours you like, or a past board link you want to use as reference.
  • Food-safe finish needs, handle preference, juice groove preference, and deadline.
  • Pickup or shipping preference.

Questions

Before you request a quote

Can I request a custom board size?

Yes. Send the rough length, width, thickness, and how the board will be used. Those details matter more than a polished drawing.

Can you make a board similar to one in the gallery?

Yes. Share the product or gallery link and note what you want to keep or change. Wood grain and exact colour will vary by material.

Are cutting boards finished for food use?

Food-contact boards should use a food-safe finish. Mention whether the board is for prep, serving, or display so the finish can match the use.
