Selecting Your Wooden Bread Boards and Cutting Boards

All of the cutting boards available in this collection are thoughtfully-designed and beautifully-crafted to hold up to many years of use, but with so many options to choose from it can be difficult to narrow in on a favorite. As you browse, take a few key factors into consideration.

• Choose a Size: Consider how you plan on using the board and choose a size that meets those needs. Smaller bread boards are ideal for serving up an appetizer or a fresh loaf of bread. If you're interested in taking things to the next level and arranging a complete charcuterie platter, you may want to choose a larger board. Of course, you can always make a permanent fixture out of having a cutting board displayed on your countertop and go for the largest ones available.

• Select a Wood Type and Finish: The different types of wood can provide completely different styles. Enjoy the light look of birch, the warm tones of cherry, or the deep and sophisticated tones of walnut. Some boards even combine two types of woods in a stripe or geometric pattern.
• Hanging Vs. Flat: Consider how you're going to store or display the cutting board between uses. Some bread board and cutting board designs include a leather loop or a hole on the end of the handle, making it easy to hang on a wall between uses. This is a great way to add visual appeal to a wall in your kitchen in a functional way. If you're looking for one to keep displayed on your counters or island, choose a large rectangular board with plenty of depth.

Bread cutting boards are an essential item for any kitchen and it is always a good idea to have more than one on hand. Stock up on different sizes for yourself and consider giving them as a thoughtful present for any avid chef in your life. Once you've selected the right cutting board for you, consider adding one of the cutting board storage solutions or knife sets available at Williams Sonoma.
