Most Wooded Designs orders ship within 2-3 weeks. Each board is built from scratch using the same careful process as our Studio collection—we don't cut corners to speed things up.

Our Designs collection features signature patterns with curated wood combinations. If you're looking for something fully custom, reach out—we're happy to discuss special requests.

Each design comes in multiple sizes. Select your preferred size on the product page to see dimensions and pricing.

You'll receive an order confirmation immediately. We'll reach out if we have any questions, then your board enters our production queue. You'll get a shipping notification with tracking once it's on its way.

End-grain boards expose the cut ends of wood fibers on the cutting surface. Your knife slips between fibers instead of slicing across them — so the board is gentler on blades and self-heals minor cut marks over time. Compare that to long-grain boards (also called edge-grain, face-grain, or flat-grain), where your knife cuts across the fibers — dulling blades faster and leaving permanent score marks. Learn more about grain orientation.

Thickness prevents warping — we follow our Rule of 8 Inches, where a board's thickness should be at least one-eighth of its width. That mass gives you a stable, solid surface that won't slide around while you work. It also means the board can be sanded and refinished multiple times over decades of use. More on why thickness matters.

Yes! For a small upcharge, we can laser-engrave a name, date, or short message along the edge of your board. Type your text, preview it, and choose from a few fonts right on the product page.

Yes — juice grooves are available as a build option on most Designs. Select it on the product page when configuring your board.

Absolutely. Every Wooded Designs board is built using the same materials, techniques, and attention to detail as our one-of-a-kind Studio pieces. The only difference is that Designs are repeatable patterns built to order.

Every board gets our Jack Wax two-step: warmed Timber Tonic to deeply hydrate the wood, then multiple coats of our wax compounds to seal it. Both are made with food-grade mineral oil, coconut oil, and beeswax — our finishing wax adds a touch of natural carnauba for extra sheen. No polyurethane, no synthetics, nothing you wouldn't want near your food. More about Jack Wax.

Rinse with water and a mild soap or vinegar-based detergent after use — never put it in the dishwasher. Store it upright so air circulates on both sides. Re-oil with mineral oil or Jack Wax every few weeks (or whenever the wood looks dry). With basic care, your board will last a lifetime. Full care guide.

Absolutely. Minor scratches and knife marks can be sanded out with fine-grit sandpaper. Then re-oil to hydrate the wood and re-wax to seal the surface. Our Jack Pack has everything you need for a refresh.

Free ground shipping on all cutting boards within the US, via UPS or FedEx. Boards are wrapped in protective materials and boxed securely. You'll receive tracking as soon as it ships.

Because each board is built specifically for you, we can't accept returns for change of mind. But we stand behind our craftsmanship with a 90-day warranty covering defects like cracking or warping. If something's not right, reach out — we're a small team and we'll work with you. Full policy.
