Customer Reviews
Most customers love the personalized wood cutting boards for their beautiful craftsmanship, quality, and appeal as gifts, with many praising the accurate engraving proofs and quick shipping. However, some recurring issues include delayed communication and fulfillment from the maker, quality control problems like pre-existing markings on boards or dimensional inconsistencies that don't match advertised specifications, and occasional mismatches between product photos and actual items received. Overall positive sentiment is strong, but delivery reliability and product consistency appear to need improvement.

I ordered a custom-engraved live-edge cutting board from the maker on July 26, 2025. I had forgotten to ask for a proof, so I emailed on Aug. 1st. I hadn't received any response, so I sent a follow-up email on Aug. 9th. Still no reply from the maker by the posted delivery date of Aug. 13th and indicated that the item had not been dispatched. On Aug. 14th I opened a case to resolve via with the request that I would still like the item. However, decided to issue a refund instead. This seemed to be uncharacteristic for the maker as they have numerous 5 star reviews, which is why I purchased with them. Exercise caution if you are ordering from the maker at this time.
Cutting board is beautiful! Just as described!
Love this is a perfect gift for my bosses.
Beautiful and looks perfect to what I was expecting.
I ordered a board blank, with no engraving for a personal diy. When I got the board I was initially happy, but when I went to work on it, I noticed it appears that there is old writing on it. There are old signatures on this board, some I can almost make out. It seems like it was halfway sanded off. I contacted the maker and he was very quick to respond and said a replacement would be sent. However it has now been 3 weeks, I am running out of time for my diy. And despite me checking in once, there is still nothing in the mail. Unfortunately I can't help but feel I got scammed. I wanted to order this board for the clean, beautiful, pre sanded grain for my project. Now I either have to sand this myself, which the whole point of buying a pre sanded piece was so I didn't have to do this, or I have to figure something else.
I was excited to receive this, as it's an anniversary gift for my husband. Unfortunately, it's not quite what I expected. I was hoping for the "live edge" as advertised, but received a board with a finished edge (beautiful, but not what I was anticipating). Delivery was 3 weeks from order. It seemed like he forgot, until I messaged asking how it was coming along, then the shipping label was created that day and arrived 2 days following. Otherwise, it is beautiful work, and maker response was prompt.
Great product. Good craftsmanship! Would recommend
Quality, durable cutting board! The personalization is a nice touch. I think it will be an ideal Christmas gift.
I purchased this as a birthday gift for my father. I was concerned that due to the postal workers' strike, that my package would not arrive on time, but it arrived a day early! The board looks amazing, the maker sent a confirmation for the design and I am very happy with this gift! It looks amazing. Thanks :)
Lee is what handcrafted work should feel like! A skilled artisan with beautiful products. Lee helped me craft 5 custom boards for gifts and got them to me quickly when I needed them before anticipated! Couldn’t recommend him more!
