Totally Bamboo New York State Shaped Cutting Board — Bamboo charcuterie platter, engraved map 13-1/4 x 12 in

A laser-engraved bamboo cutting board shaped like the state of New York that doubles as a decorative charcuterie platter and a functional prep surface.

This Totally Bamboo Destination board blends practical kitchen use with regional flair. Carved in the outline of New York and detailed with engraved cities and landmarks, it offers a show-stopping presentation side for serving and a smooth reverse face for everyday chopping. At 13-1/4 x 12 x 5/8 inches, the board is lightweight yet sturdy, made from sustainably sourced bamboo that is gentle on knives and easy to hang when not in use.

How does the New York shape enhance my table presentations?

The engraved front turns a simple snack into a themed centerpiece, making it ideal for entertaining friends or celebrating local pride. The artwork highlights notable towns and attractions so guests can visually connect with the region as they enjoy food.

• Engraved map and landmark artwork for instant visual interest
• Large, flat surface perfect for arranging cheeses, meats, and accoutrements
• Edges shaped to follow the state outline for a unique silhouette
• Works well alone or layered with linens and small plates

Can I use the board for everyday chopping and food prep?

Yes — flip the board to access a smooth, knife-friendly side designed for regular slicing and dicing. Bamboo’s tight grain resists deep scoring while remaining gentle on blade edges, making this board useful beyond special occasions.

• Reverse side is flat and unengraved for practical cutting
• Bamboo construction minimizes knife dulling compared with harder woods
• Compact dimensions fit most countertops and cleanup routines
• Lightweight enough to move between prep and serving zones

What maintenance is required to keep the bamboo looking its best?

Maintenance is straightforward: hand-wash with mild soap and warm water, dry promptly, and periodically treat with food-safe oil to preserve color and prevent cracking. Avoid soaking or placing the board in a dishwasher to maintain the engraved detail and longevity.

• Hand wash only; do not submerge for extended periods
• Dry immediately after washing to prevent warping
• Occasional application of mineral or bamboo oil recommended
• Use the hang tie to air-dry and display between uses
