Choosing the Perfect Board for Your Needs
Choosing the Perfect Cutting or Charcuterie Board for Your Needs
At Timber Traditions, we know that selecting the right board is about more than just aesthetics it’s about functionality, size, and making sure it fits seamlessly into your kitchen or entertaining space. Here’s how to find the perfect board for your needs:
Tip 1: Choosing the Right Size
The size of your board depends on how you plan to use it. Here’s a general guide:
For Cutting Boards:
- Small (10 to 12 inches) – Ideal for everyday slicing and light prep work.
- Medium (14 to 16 inches) – A versatile, all-purpose size for meal prep.
- Large (18 to 24 inches) – Best for serious home chefs who need extra space for chopping and slicing.
For Charcuterie Boards:
- Small (8 to 10 inches) – Perfect for intimate gatherings or serving a selection of cheeses and snacks.
- Medium (12 to 18 inches) – Great for hosting, comfortably fitting meats, cheeses, fruits, and more.
- Large (20 to 24 inches or more) – A showstopper for entertaining, designed to accommodate larger gatherings.
Still unsure? Contact us, and we’ll help you choose the perfect size for your needs.
Tip 2: Visualizing Your Board in Your Space
Not sure how a specific board size will fit in your kitchen or on your countertop? Try this simple approach:
- Painter’s Tape or Paper Layout – Use painter’s tape or cut a piece of kraft paper to the dimensions of the board you’re considering. This will help you visualize the board’s footprint before purchasing.
- Hosting a Charcuterie Night? – Lay out your serving dishes on a countertop to see how much space you’ll need for your spreads.
If you’re looking for custom engraving, specific dimensions, or a unique shape, we offer custom orders to bring your vision to life.
