If you’re engraving at any kind of volume, you already know the supplier problem.
Inconsistent sizing. Boards that look fine until you run them through the machine and the grain does something weird. Orders that show up with knots in the wrong spots. You waste time, you waste material, and you end up explaining to a client why their custom board doesn’t look like what they ordered.
That’s the whole reason engravers come to us.
What Matters to an Engraver
You’re not buying a cutting board. You’re buying a blank. What it looks like before you touch it matters less than what it does when the laser hits it.
Maple is the one. Tight grain, light colour, the contrast you get after engraving is sharp and clean. It’s why the majority of laser engravers who order from us go straight to maple without much debate. Cherry works too — warmer tone, different aesthetic, some clients specifically ask for it. Walnut engraves well but the contrast is lower because the wood is already dark. Worth knowing before you commit to a big order.
What we can tell you is the boards are consistent. Same dimensions batch to batch. Flat and true. No surprise knots showing up in the middle of your work area. When you’re running a production order that’s not a nice-to-have, it’s the whole thing.
How We Work
Been selling wholesale hardwood cutting boards across Canada since 2016. A big chunk of our customers are exactly where you are — buying boards in volume, engraving them, reselling the finished product. We get how that business works and we don’t make it complicated.
Canadian hardwood in maple, cherry, and walnut. Minimum 24 boards per SKU. That’s per size, per species — mix and match across SKUs to build the order that makes sense for your shop.
Shipping goes out within a few business days. If you’re running low and need to restock before a big client order lands, reach out early and we’ll tell you straight what the timeline looks like. No runaround.
Pricing is wholesale. The more you order the better it gets. If you’re moving serious volume let’s talk — there’s room to work with repeat buyers.
The Wood Question
Maple — this is your workhorse. Best contrast, cleanest result, most versatile for client work. If you’re just getting started with us this is where to begin.
Cherry — warm reddish tone that deepens over time. Clients who want something that feels a bit more premium and less common than maple tend to love it. Engraves well, looks great finished.
Walnut — dark, rich, serious looking wood. Lower engraving contrast but some clients specifically want walnut because of how it looks as a finished product. Know your client before you order.
Compare them side by side on our full wood species page — easier than trying to picture it from a description.
