Common Questions About Laser Engraved Anniversary Gifts
Which wood species works best for cutting boards?
Walnut and maple are both excellent. Walnut has a rich dark grain that hides knife marks well. Maple is lighter and harder, giving a clean contrast with the engraving.
How deep is the engraving on a cutting board?
The engraving goes about 1-2mm deep, which is shallow enough to keep the board functional for cutting and deep enough to last decades. We recommend using the engraved side for display and the plain side for chopping.
