    Make it personal

    0/42

    Engraved across the top in the serif you see in the photos. We size it to the board, so a short name and a long one both fill it the same way.

    A photo from your phone is enough. Lay the card flat in good light, hold the camera straight above it, and send the whole card. We clean it up and engrave her handwriting exactly as it is.

    0/420

    Only if you have no handwritten copy to send. Type it the way she wrote it, line by line, and we set it in a handwriting style. Leave this empty if you uploaded a photo.

    0/34

    Optional, engraved small in capitals under the recipe. Something like In Her Own Hand, Made Every Christmas Eve, or the year she first wrote it down. Leave it blank and we close the design up neatly.

    0/44

    Optional, one short line engraved on the reverse face. Usually who the recipe came from, or who the board is for. Up to 44 characters, sized to fit. Leave it blank to keep the back bare.

    Her recipe, in her own handwriting, burned into the wood.

    • Send a photo of the recipe card and we engrave it exactly as she wrote it, crossings out and all
    • We send you a proof before anything is cut, so you see the finished board first
    • We lay the recipe out to fit, so a long one never loses its last line
    • Two tone bamboo, 18 inches tall by 12 inches wide, a full three quarters of an inch thick
    • Add a line of your own underneath, and a second line on the back if you want one
    • Laser engraved into the grain, never printed on top

    There is a recipe card in almost every family that nobody would ever throw away. It is stained, the corner is soft, and half of it only makes sense if you already know how she made it. The handwriting is the reason you keep it.

    This puts that handwriting somewhere it cannot be lost. Not a copy of the recipe, her actual hand, the way she looped her letters and the note she added in the margin because she knew you would need it.

    It is a quiet gift. It suits a grandmother who is still making the thing every Sunday, and it suits a family who has only the card left.

    How to Personalize

    1. Type the name of the recipe. It engraves across the top, sized to fit the board.
    2. Upload a photo of the recipe card. A photo from your phone is enough, laid flat in good light.
    3. No handwritten copy? Type the recipe out instead and we set it in a handwriting style.
    4. Add a line underneath if you want one, and a line for the back of the board if you want that too.

    Then watch for your proof. We send it before a laser touches the board, and nothing is cut until you say it is right. Our team engraves every board by hand in Monroe, Connecticut.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What if the photo of the recipe card is not very good?
    Send it anyway. Faded pencil, a stained card and a crooked phone shot are all workable. What we need is the whole card in one frame with the light even across it and no shadow falling over the writing. If a word is genuinely unreadable we will ask you before we engrave rather than guess.
    My recipe is long. Will it all fit?
    Yes, and this is the part we are careful about. We lay the recipe out to the board before anything is cut and size the handwriting to the longest line, so a recipe with short lines engraves larger than one with long lines. Nothing gets cropped off the bottom. If a recipe is so long it would engrave too small to read, we will tell you and suggest splitting it rather than shrinking it.
    Can I still use it as a cutting board?
    You can, but we would not cut on the engraved face. A knife works against the burn over time. The back is bare unless you ask us to engrave a line on it, so the usable surface is the back.
    Do I see it before you engrave it?
    Always. We send you a proof of the finished layout and nothing is cut until you say it is right. If you want the handwriting bigger, the title changed, or a line moved, that is the moment to say so.
    She has passed away. Is this still a good idea?
    Her handwriting is the part of her nobody else has, and a recipe is something the family already gathers around. If you want one for each of her children or grandchildren, order the quantity you need and send the same card. We engrave them from the same layout so they match.
    What if I do not have anything in her handwriting?
    Type the recipe into the second box and leave the upload empty. We set it in a handwriting style rather than a printed font, so it still reads like a recipe card rather than a label. It is not the same as her hand, and we will say so plainly, but it is a lovely board.
    Is personalization/engraving really free?

    Yes! Every item includes free personalization. Just enter your details on the product page and we'll customize it before shipping.
