Create you own personalised, solid wood, chopping board!
Brilliant for families, food-lovers and aspiring chefs. Ideal as a gift to celebrate a birthday, Christmas or special event. Or just as a simple thank-you to the hard-working mum, dad or all-round kitchen god where you live!
We take the IKEA Proppmatt small chopping board - just 300x150x16mm, including handle - and custom-carve it with YOUR UNIQUE MESSAGE up to 48 letters long. Note this is quite a small chopping board - the working area is just 180x150 or 270 square centimetres. But it can also be used as a small serving tray or plate, for food such as cheeses, cooked meats or fruit.
Each chopping board can be provided with the carved messaging either bare - allowing everyday use - or inlaid with ebony wood-filler and covered with a water-based clear satin lacquer.
IMPORTANT! Please note inlaid chopping boards are intended for presentation-only! They provide much sharper contrast helping your message to stand-out, but neither the lacquer nor the inlay will survive daily use with sharp knives!
Both bare and inlaid chopping boards should be hand-washed or wiped clean - they are NOT dishwasher-proof given very high dishwasher temperatures.
STEP 1
Choose your preferred small chopping board variant:
a) FONT - Choose Arial, Times New Roman, or Segoe Script (a more cursive font)
b) LAYOUT - Choose how you want the message to appear, with text at:
- TOP (shorter messages)
- BOTTOM (shorter messages)
- TOP + BOTTOM (messages with an obvious single split)
- CENTRE (longer messages)
c) FINISH - Choose either Bare, or Inlaid with ebony wood-filler and covered with a water-based clear satin lacquer.
Please note your final item price depends on the options you choose.
STEP 2
To fit into this small chopping board design, please add YOUR UNIQUE MESSAGE to a MAXIMUM 48 letters, then select LEFT, CENTRE or RIGHT text alignment within your chosen LAYOUT. Your message will then be sized to fit, and aligned as per your preferences.
You may also (optionally) advise:
- Any words within your message we should emphasise with larger, bold font
- Where to split a TOP + BOTTOM message if this is your preferred layout
