I would be interested also. Have picked them up here and there when I see them on sale at a salvage store or such. The ones I do, people love, but have no consistent source, so always is hit or miss and can not market. Hope someone has a good source.
Thanks
Tim

Do you not want to make your own cutting boards?

Too bad we weren't closer I could cook them out for you real quick!

If you are interested in solid surface, like Corian, then try Menards. I believe they are at the $10 price point for larger than square foot.

We use or local countertop manufacurer for corian and the like, the boards are dirt cheap because they are actually the cut outs for sinks. They just throw them away so we snatch them up and get them to bevel the edges. We also get them to colorfill them and finish them for a really beautiful effect.

What a deal!

I just found a place that is selling wooden cutting boards for $1.00 a piece! Obvoiusly, they're not top of the line, but for a basic engraving on a cutting board, I think they'll be great. I just ordered about 100 of them (you do have to order by the case) and shipping was very reasonable. In fact, I called them and they even gave me a coupon code to use for a discount. The website is rhinomart.com. You have to register to see prices, but it just takes a minute. Happy shopping!

But obviously you don't cut on an engraved board right? The whole, things getting gunked up in the engraved area...

We tell our customers to flip the board over if they actually want to use it

If you go with a polyethylene board, you can color-fill in your choice of food-safe colors using the same stuff used to join Corian.

DOH! Why didn't I think of that. But what if I am using a cleaver and I have a cutting board that has a picture of the ex on it? Can't I smash the cleaver repeatedly against the cutting board?

Come to think of it, that wouldn't be a good idea. If I started putting pictures of all the ex's on cutting boards...Al Gore would scold me for causing such a massive deforestation!

I'll just to the Zen and DILLIGAF thing instead...I do like the idea of decorating in the kitchen and still having the functionality by turning it over...I would have NEVER thought of that (I ain't joking either...).

Oooh...wait...a granite cutting board...that we could laser and still use...
