Laser Engraved Cutting Boards

Laser engraved cutting boards is something CNCROi.com had done a lot of across a whole bunch of different species (Maple through Walnut) and types such as live edges or machined boards.

Cutting boards come in all shapes and sizes, CNCROi.com can machine them from anything into anything, for instance, if you wanted laser engraved cutting boards in the shape of a rocket, we can make that and then engrave into the board the details that you want from corporate branding to wedding favors.

Laser engraved cutting boards are a unique animal in that our process isn’t adding any chemicals to the board during the process, CNCROi.com is only converting surface of the wood (in this case) into charcoal which is completely safe to eat though we do sand these.

One thing to keep in mind though, as with any wooden cutting board, you don’t want to wash them into the dish washer, just a hand rinsing is totally fine.

Whether you wish to have a custom cutting board made by CNCROi.com out of Cherry, Maple or any wood you wish, the process is the same.

For the first laser engraved cutting boards we make in this blog post, we masked the surface of the board just to have a nice sharp result with very little sanding required.

For our customers, we generally ask them ahead of time if they want the laser engraved cutting boards to be “sharp” or “branded” look which comes from resins that come naturally within the wood itself, again, CNCROi.com isn’t adding anything to the board for the darkening effect.

Ash is also a wonderful material for cutting boards, whether it’s solid machined boards or live edge, our process is the same as we can form the boards to be any shape or size and the engraving is always on the surface of the board.

The precision that we have with our wide-format industrial laser, whether it’s for laser engraved cutting boards or corporate plaques or wooden awards, is the same 5 nanometers of accuracy which means we can perform multiple passes on the board to get additional depth or darkening if required.

To find the center point on boards, the easiest method is just to make a line corner to corner, and from that, the perfect area to produce laser engraved cutting boards is accomplished without any measurements.

If you want a custom end-grain cutting board to be laser engraved, CNCROi.com can make that as well, here’s a custom name badge we made using edge-grain which gives you an idea of the results we can produce.

Whether the laser engraved cutting boards are masked (for quicker sanding) or raw (such as these pictures show), the results are the same, the only difference is caused by natural density variations in the wood grain itself.

CNCROi.com has a full woodworking shop, so we can also fabricate accessories and items that go along with the cutting boards in any quantity you desire to compliment the laser engraved cutting boards.

The options for your creativity are endless with CNCROi.com, whatever you want, we make it, in any volume you like and due to our on-demand approach towards production, each one of the laser engraved cutting boards can also be a different shape, size and unique in their engravings.

For this cow for instance, if you wanted one of the laser engraved cutting boards to be a pig, another a rabbit, another a pheasant and so forth, each with different dates or product info, that’s no problem for us.

We can also mix and match different wood species, so if you want a custom cutting board in the shape of a tree made-up of a few different types of wood using an inlay, we can make that too.

The depth CNCROi.com achieved into the wood depends on the density of the wood, as a result, the grain that goes through the board is followed through the engraving, this is “free” detail that comes out great and adds a lot of character to each of the laser engraved cutting boards.

CNCROi.com can make coasters of any size or shape to go along with your custom engraved cutting board.

Now that this unmasked version of this laser engraved cutting board is finished, you can see right away the smoke and resin that settles around the engraving area.

Here’s a better comparison using the masking to illustrate the deposition that occurs over the board during the laser engraving process.

CNCROi.com can make full-sized wooden murals too using photos and artistic drawings.

Although the end-result after sanding both boards is exactly the same, masking just saves CNCROi.com some sanding time, but some of our customers like to have their laser engraved cutting boards with a smoky look, so for that, we’d leave them as-is.

Here’s a close-up of the unmasked laser engraved cutting board of the cow with the chunks labeled.

And below with the masking, some of which is still present on the wording, sanding will remove that no problem very quickly.
