Totally Bamboo Arkansas State Shaped Cutting Board 12x13 — Engraved Map & Reversible Prep Surface

The Totally Bamboo Destination Arkansas State Shaped Cutting Board is a 12" x 13" bamboo board cut in the outline of Arkansas, engraved with city and landmark details and engineered for both serving and everyday prep.

This Arkansas-shaped board blends function and regional character: one face features a finely engraved map-style illustration ideal for presenting cheeses, meats, and appetizers, while the flip side offers a smooth, knife-friendly surface for routine chopping and slicing. Crafted from responsibly harvested bamboo, the board balances light weight with durability, and includes a hang tie so it can serve as both a practical kitchen tool and an attractive wall accent when not in use.

How does this board perform as a charcuterie and serving surface?

The engraved front is designed to showcase small-bite spreads and single-board entertaining. The shallow engraving adds visual interest without trapping food, making it a good staging surface for cheeses, cured meats, fruits, and crackers.

• Engraved state map highlights cities and landmarks for a conversation-starting presentation.
• Flat layout accommodates multiple small dishes, cheeses, and utensils.
• Edges are smooth for easy passing and serving at gatherings.

Can I use the reverse side for chopping and everyday kitchen prep?

Yes — the board’s reverse surface is intentionally smooth to accept knife use without heavy wear. Bamboo is gentler on blades than harder woods, so it’s suitable for routine slicing, dicing, and light chopping tasks.

• Smooth back face for slicing vegetables, fruits, and bread.
• Bamboo construction resists deep gouging compared with some softer woods.
• Measure (12" x 13" x 5/8") provides a stable work area without dominating counter space.

How do I care for and store this bamboo state board?

Simple maintenance keeps the board looking its best: hand wash with warm water and mild soap, dry immediately, and periodically condition with food-safe oil to preserve the wood grain. Use the included hang tie to store it on a hook for easy display and to free up counter room.

• Hand wash only — avoid soaking or dishwashers to prevent warping.
• Air-dry upright or hang with included tie to ensure ventilation.
• Occasional food-grade oil maintains finish and reduces cracking over time.

Is this Arkansas board a good gift and who will appreciate it?

This board is ideal for anyone with ties to Arkansas — new homeowners, graduates, couples, or travelers who want a functional keepsake. Its combination of regional charm and everyday usability makes it suitable for housewarmings, holiday presents, or a thoughtful registry item.

• Great for Arkansans, visitors, and collectors of regional home goods.
• Works well as a wedding, housewarming, or holiday gift that doubles as decor.
• Compact enough for apartment kitchens but attractive enough to hang as wall art.

It suits cooks who value eco-friendly materials, hosts who like to present food with a local angle, and anyone searching for a distinctive, usable gift that honors a love of The Natural State.
