The Vintage Monogram Board — Personalized Family Name Cutting & Serving Board

The Signature Board is our defining personalized cutting and serving board, created to commemorate meaningful relationships, lasting homes, and life’s most important moments. Designed for client gifting, milestone events, and refined retail collections, it is frequently chosen by real estate professionals, event designers, and curated gift shops seeking a piece that feels personal, substantial, and graciously complete from the moment it is unwrapped.

Crafted from premium North American hardwood and engraved in our Connecticut studio, each board bears a bold custom monogram, paired with a family name, date, or carefully chosen inscription. The composition draws inspiration from traditional estate markings and classical craftsmanship—balanced, dignified, and quietly timeless. Equally suited for daily use or display, each board becomes both a functional object and a lasting keepsake.

Every board is designed, engraved, and finished entirely in-house. Each hardwood blank is individually selected for its grain, strength, and natural character, then engraved with precision and sealed by hand using a food-safe, USA-made mineral oil finish. This process preserves the wood’s warmth and depth while protecting it for years of service. Every piece is carefully inspected before leaving our studio.

Each order arrives thoughtfully prepared for presentation and includes a custom gift tag, coordinated packaging, and branded care materials. From the moment it is received, The Signature Board is ready to be offered, displayed, and cherished.

Personalization is available across multiple engraving zones and may include family names, home coordinates, dates, company marks, or brief commemorative messages. Optional reverse-side engraving allows for private notes, discreet branding, or gifter details. All personalization is completed exactly as submitted and reviewed for balance, clarity, and harmony before production.

This custom engraved wooden cutting board is frequently commissioned for real estate closings, corporate recognition, weddings, relocations, anniversaries, and curated retail collections. Its enduring materials, restrained elegance, and refined presentation make it a trusted foundation for relationship-driven gifting.

Whether commissioned as a single keepsake or as part of a broader gifting initiative, The Signature Board reflects Créé à la main’s devotion to honest materials, thoughtful design, and enduring craftsmanship—creating heirloom pieces meant to be used, admired, and passed down.
