Read along to hear all about our different woods and how to choose your favorite! Maple Wood Cutting Board Benefits Maple wood is known for its light, modern color which fits perfectly with any decor. Maple hardwood is also quite durable due to its dense wood grain. This makes for a great cutting surface on your cutting board. Here at Words with Boards, we find a Maple Cutting Board doesn't dry out as fast as walnut and other woods. This makes caring for it a little easier. Maple is known as the industry standard because of how widely available and dense it is. Maple wood starts out light but will darken a little with use. Laser engravings will also show up very well on maple as opposed to the dark color of walnut. However, we believe laser engraving looks best on cherry wood (see the bottom of the page for more cherry benefits!) Large Personalized Cutting Board Shop Maple Cutting Boards Single Initial Monogram Cutting Board Walnut Wood Cutting Board Benefits Walnut wood is not as plentiful in larger sizes which is the reason for the higher price tag. It is the most expensive wood we offer. As you can see from the picture the wood color varies a little, it's not a solid color which we feel adds to the beauty! Any Walnut Cutting Board we create is butcher block, this means 1 pieces of wood are glued together to prevent warping. And, this is why you get the color variations. If food stains on your cutting board are a concern for you, then the dark color walnut offers may be a better choice. Walnut wood provides good contrast to light countertops and food really pops on the dark, rich color. Walnut may not be as hard as maple, but don't worry- it's perfectly fine to use as a cutting board.

Explore Our Wood Selection First Dance Personalized Cutting Board Love Board Cherry Wood Cutting Board Benefits Don't forget, we also offer cherry as another type of wood for your cutting board. A Cherry Cutting Board has a soft reddish hue and like maple will darken with age. And, like walnut it has a medium hardness. Not has hard as maple but still a great choice for chopping! If you already have a lot of cherry wood in your home, a cherry cutting board will fit right in with your decor. However, if looking for a harder wood - you may want to choose maple wood. Another perk to cherry is laser engraving looks best on this wood type. Shop Cherry Cutting Boards
