Totally Bamboo Iowa-Shaped Cutting Board — Engraved Map, Two-Sided Bamboo Serving & Prep Board, 15.5 x 10.25

Totally Bamboo's Destination Iowa state-shaped cutting board is a decorative and functional bamboo board engraved with Iowa cities and landmarks that doubles as a charcuterie platter and everyday cutting surface.

This shaped board measures 15-1/2" x 10-1/4" x 5/8" and is crafted from durable, knife-friendly bamboo. One face features detailed engraved artwork highlighting cities and well-known locations across The Hawkeye State, while the smooth reverse side offers a practical surface for slicing, chopping, and routine kitchen prep. A convenient hang tie lets you display the board as wall art or store it easily when not in use.

What makes this Iowa board different from a regular cutting board?

The Destination Iowa board combines region-specific engraving with dual functionality: an illustrated serving face and a plain prep face. Its state outline and mapped details add a decorative, local touch that ordinary rectangular boards lack.

• State-shaped silhouette with engraved cities and landmarks
• Two-sided design: engraved serving face and smooth cutting side
• Bamboo construction for lightness and gentle treatment of knives
• Hang tie for display or storage

How well does the board perform as a charcuterie platter?

The engraved front is sized and styled for arranging cheeses, meats, fruit, and small bites for two to four people. The decorative map provides an attractive backdrop for serving while the bamboo surface resists slips and feels warm compared to stone or glass.

• Generous 15-1/2" x 10-1/4" serving area for appetizers
• Engraving offers visual interest for presentation
• Bamboo’s slight texture helps keep items from sliding
• Easy to wipe clean after entertaining

Is bamboo a good material for everyday cutting and maintenance?

Bamboo is a popular choice because it’s lightweight, naturally durable, and kinder to blade edges than harder materials. Routine care—hand washing, oiling occasionally, and avoiding prolonged water exposure—keeps the board looking its best without special tools.

• Knife-friendly surface that helps preserve blade sharpness
• Hand wash with mild soap; dry upright to prevent warping
• Occasional food-safe oiling extends lifespan and appearance
• Avoid soaking or dishwashing to maintain engraving and shape

How can I use and display the board beyond food prep?

Besides serving and chopping, the Iowa-shaped board works as a kitchen accent and meaningful gift. Use the hang tie to display it on a wall, rest it on a counter as regional décor, or include it in a housewarming or wedding gift bundle for someone who loves Iowa.

• Wall-hangable kitchen art via included hang tie
• Countertop accent that highlights regional pride
• Thoughtful gift for housewarmings, holidays, and grads
• Matches rustic and modern kitchen styles alike

Who is this for: The Totally Bamboo Destination Iowa board is ideal for people who want a practical chopping surface that also celebrates Iowa—homeowners, renters, college alumni, and gift-givers seeking a distinctive, functional keepsake. It suits hosts who entertain with small charcuterie spreads, cooks who value a knife-friendly bamboo board, and anyone looking to display a locally themed piece in their kitchen.
