Personalized Retirement Cutting Board, Reversible, Custom Engraved Gift, 12x8

A Gift They’ll Never Expect—But Always Remember

Officially Retired. Unofficially Celebrated. A Gift That Marks the Next Chapter.

Retirement isn’t an ending — it’s a milestone worth savoring. This personalized cutting board honors the years they’ve dedicated, the impact they’ve made, and the exciting chapter ahead. Provide their name, a retirement year, and a sentiment like “The best is yet to come,”. Every detail makes this gift feel thoughtful, heartfelt, and uniquely theirs.

Designed for the quiet mornings, shared meals, and well-earned moments of rest that follow retirement, this board becomes a meaningful reminder of everything they’ve accomplished — and everything still waiting to be enjoyed. Crafted by hand and engraved with intention, it’s a keepsake they’ll treasure long after the celebration ends.

Handcrafted by Furniture Maker, Rob Holzer

Made with Pride and Attention to Detail

Each cutting board we make begins with hand-selected hardwoods in our East Hampton wood shop. Our boards are glued, shaped, sanded, and finished through a meticulous process that ensures lasting durability and a feel that’s as luxurious as it is beautiful. Every board is finished with our own food-safe beeswax board butter — a reflection of the pride we take in craftsmanship and the joy of creating something truly personal.

Maple, cherry, sapele, and walnut are all perfect woods for cutting boards because they’re dense, durable hardwoods with tight grains that naturally resist moisture, bacteria, and warping. Their hardness makes them long-lasting, yet they’re still gentle enough on knives to prevent premature dulling. Each wood offers excellent structural stability, meaning the board won’t easily crack or cup, and their smooth, fine-grained surfaces make them ideal for food prep. Together, these species strike the perfect balance of strength, beauty, and kitchen-friendly performance—hallmarks of a high-quality, handcrafted board.

Our boards are thoughtfully made to be reversible—the engraved side showcases your personalized design, while the cutting side is left smooth for practical, everyday use.
