Words with Boards

Personalized Lazy Susan

Kim Strassner and Mike Pararas began making personalized cutting boards with words on them as holiday gifts for friends and family. The pieces were such a hit, they founded Words with Boards so anyone could give or receive one. Their wooden serving and cutting goods are handmade in Maryland. Kim and Mike have a few expressions of their own (like Cheese and Happy Hour), or you can customize a board with your own words or a date, name, or location for a truly custom piece. The boards and Lazy Susan servers are all hand-cut, hand-sanded, and then hand-sealed with food-grade mineral oil. That hard work pays off with a beautifully finished piece that showcases the natural maple wood and crisp, precision-cut lettering. Each one strikes the perfect gifting balance of handmade and heartfelt.
