ATCHAFALAYA CUTTING BOARD

Atchafalaya Board – Louisiana Sinker Cypress

This one’s a mouthful: Atchafalaya (A-Chaf-O-Lie-Ya). Named after the largest swamp in the United States, this board is a tribute to Louisiana’s wild, untamed beauty.

Handcrafted in New Orleans from locally harvested Louisiana Sinker Cypress, each board carries its own story—rich in color, character, and history. Known for its distinctive grain and lightweight durability, Sinker Cypress creates a truly one-of-a-kind piece that blends function with Southern heritage.

Designed for versatility, the Atchafalaya Board features a carved juice well on one side—perfect for catching meat drippings or citrus juices—while the smooth reverse side offers a clean surface for prepping fruits, vegetables, and everyday use.

Whether you’re carving a roast or building a beautiful spread, this board delivers performance with unmistakable Louisiana style.

What’s with the name?

The Atchafalaya Basin is the nation’s largest river swamp, containing almost one million acres of America’s most significant bottomland hardwoods, swamps, bayous, and backwater lakes. 

Cool water perfectly preserves what is known as sinker logs, which lay on river bottoms for hundreds of years. These magnificent sinker cypress and sinker pine logs are considered to be buried treasure because once recovered, they yield the richest patina of any wood.

Don’t let your love die! Our boards are extra special and will stay with you always, as long as you give them a bit of care. The goal of board oil and conditioner is to saturate the wood fibers, in order to stop any other liquids (blood, bacteria) and moisture from soaking into the board. A well-oiled cutting board will not warp and will keep its shape.
