MADE-TO-ORDER - please allow 2-3 weeks before shipping

As a small, family-owned business, we take pride in crafting each butcher block by hand.

Depending on the number of orders in the queue, it may take up to 2-3 weeks to make and ship your butcher block. 

If you need your order in time for a birthday, anniversary, etc., please don’t hesitate to reach out at john@theboardsmith.com and we'll see what we can do.

Otherwise, we look forward to shipping your board out to you once it is ready!

SHIPPING POLICY

FREE Shipping on orders over $200 in the continental US 

When your board has been completed and is ready for shipping, you will receive a tracking number via email.

RETURN POLICY

All of our boards will be warrantied to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of 60 days from the date of receipt. Anything past 60 days will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

All returns require prior authorization. Call 469-387-8581 for authorization. Authorized goods for return must be received within 14 days of authorization, in the original packaging, and sent insured.

Damages which occur during return shipping will be the responsibility of the customer.

Defective Items

Defects are described as anything that will render the board unusable such as cracks, splits, or warps. Natural coloration of the wood is not a defect. All defective items will be repaired, replaced or refunded. Defective items accepted for return will be shipped back to us at our expense. Return shipping to the customer will also be at our expense. Returned items must be in the original packaging, sent insured.

Repair, replacement or refund will be at our sole discretion.

Returned items must be in the original packaging, sent insured. Original and return shipping costs of non-defective items will be the responsibility of the customer.

Customer Induced Damage

All items with customer induced damage will not be acceptable for returns.

Special Orders

Due to the customer specific nature of special orders, special order boards are not eligible for returns. 

Freight Damages, Loss, or Theft

NEW: As of November 20, 2023, The Boardsmith is paying for Route Shipping Insurance on your behalf on all orders, including international ones. Route is a third-party insurer on packages. In the event your shipment is lost, stolen (eg porch pirates), or damaged in transit, Route will replace your items at no charge to you. You will contact them directly and they will process your re-order. They also offer additional package tracking services via app. 

Historically, loss, theft, or damage occurs in less than 1% of shipments. Incidents are normally far higher during the Christmas season than at other times of the year. 

International Shipments

Different countries have widely divergent policies regarding taxes, tariffs, VAT, etc. on items shipped from the United States. Customers are responsible for any such fees, if applicable.  

Tips for your custom engraving:

  • We can only engrave the face of the board, not on the edges. Choose an area where you are less likely to chop, and consider selecting a larger board for a greater chopping area. Alternatively, you can request that we not install feet so that your board can be flipped for chopping on the other side. 
  • Maple engraves the best, followed by cherry and then walnut. 
  • We will need a fair bit of information from you (font, size, location, etc) so please start this conversation by filling in the box below with as much detail as you can. We will reach out once we have received your personalized chopping board order. **NOTE: please leave your cell number and not just your email address if you order engraving to facilitate coordination. 
  • Initials/monogram boards are popular, especially if you are giving the butcher block as a wedding or birthday gift.
  • Designs are kept simple, but for an additional fee we can enlist our graphic designer for your engraved board.

Fantastic, and beautiful board

I read several reviews of different companies before settling on Boardsmith. The reviews were right. I love my cutting board!!

It took a couple emails back and forth to create the "logo" that I wanted engraved on it because I had an idea/template, but needed to change some of the details. The artist that created the final "logo" did great, provided a few options and I am thrilled with the final design. The board is beautiful to look at, so it sits out where it can be seen when it is not in use.

As far as how well it is holding up, it is doing great. Board Butter, food grade mineral oil, and it holds up fantastic. Remember that cutting boards should be stored on their sides, not flat. This storage requirement actually helps to give you a reason to keep it on display when not in use. Sure, you will get scratches. It is wood, and you are using knives on it. But a used board shows that you appreciate the usefulness, and shows that it is more than just artwork.

Keep your knives nice and sharp, and with a beautiful board under your food, it not only makes the work easier, it makes it much more pleasurable to do food prep when your eyes are constantly taking in the beauty of the board that you are working on.

I have had my board for several months, and it has gotten plenty of use. No cracks, splits or anything coming undone in any way.

Thank you Boardsmith for taking the time to help me design a beautiful board, and thank you for your wonderful craftsmanship!!

This is my second board. My first board is the Maple Butcher Block. I loved it so much and wanted a personalized smaller one.I purchased it when it was on sale. I receive so many compliments on it. The workmanship is impeccable. This will be handed down to my son.
