Designed with an Integrated Thumb-Hole HandleThe integrated thumb-hole is one of the defining features of this cutting board.
Built directly into the board, it provides a convenient gripping point when lifting or repositioning the cutting surface.
Unlike separate attached hardware, the thumb-hole forms part of the board's overall design, giving it a clean, recognizable appearance.
It also contributes to the board's appeal as a serving piece for cheese, charcuterie, and appetizers.
What Is a Flat-Grain Cutting Board?Flat-grain construction displays the broad face of the wood, showcasing its natural grain patterns and coloration.
This gives the Thumb-Hole Cutting Board an attractive hardwood appearance that works well for both food preparation and presentation.
Its 3/4-inch thickness provides a slimmer profile than many substantial butcher-block-style cutting boards, making it an appealing option for those who prefer a less bulky design.
Like other natural wooden cutting boards, proper cleaning, drying, and periodic conditioning are important for maintaining its appearance and usefulness.
A Versatile Cutting Board for Everyday CookingFrom chopping vegetables for dinner to preparing ingredients for a weekend barbecue, this board offers a convenient working surface for common kitchen tasks.
Choose the smaller 18" × 12" version for everyday preparation or the larger 24" × 18" version when additional working space is useful.
The built-in handle makes it easy to reposition the board as needed, while the natural hardwood creates an attractive addition to the kitchen.
Perfect for Cheese, Charcuterie & EntertainingA wooden cutting board can also become part of the serving experience.
Use the Thumb-Hole Cutting Board to arrange sliced cheeses, cured meats, crackers, fruit, and other appetizers for guests.
The Cherry, Maple, and Walnut options offer different natural looks to complement your kitchen and entertaining style.
For larger gatherings, the 24" × 18" size offers additional space for arranging a generous selection of snacks.

One standard face engraving is included at no additional personalization charge in the described product offering. A plain, unengraved board is also available.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
