A walnut cutting board engraved with a spaghetti recipe and your own wording, made in four sizes. Dark wood under small text, which is the combination that stays readable longest.

Readable From Where You Cook

A recipe board is only useful if it can be read from the other side of a worktop while your hands are busy. Walnut's contrast, the greatest of any timber we engrave, is what makes small type carry that distance. On a pale board the same text has to be read close up, which defeats the purpose.

Dark Boards Survive Kitchens

A recipe in regular use gets splashed, wiped and handled. Walnut absorbs the marks of that where a pale wood records them, so a board kept by the hob looks better after two years than a light one would.

Small Type Needs the Darkest Ground

A recipe is the most demanding thing we engrave, not because any single line is difficult but because there is so much of it and all of it is small. Contrast is what decides whether small type can be read at arm's length or has to be approached. Walnut starts at chocolate brown and the cut comes out nearly black, the widest separation of the four woods, which is why it is the wood we recommend by default for this design. Nothing else in wood comes close on small text.

Dark wood also survives a kitchen better. A recipe board lives beside a hob and collects splashes and finger marks. On a pale surface every one of those is visible; on walnut they barely register, and the board goes on looking like itself.

Sizes and Care

Four sizes are made. The larger two are nearly twice as thick. Walnut sits between cherry and acacia for weight, which suits a board that is moved about a worktop daily.

Text needs area, so the large is the practical minimum and the X-Large is better if the wording runs long. Oil it more often than a board that hangs on a wall, since steam and warm air dry the surface out. The same recipe is engraved in bamboo, which is pale and much quieter, cherry, which holds the sharpest letterforms, and acacia, which is the heaviest and the least even ground for small text.

Wash and dry it by hand, every time. No soaking, and no dishwasher. Re-oil with mineral oil every few weeks.
