NOLA Boards offers handcrafted cutting boards, kitchen accessories, local Louisiana gifts, and cocktail and cheeseboard classes in the New Orleans, LA area.
What an exquisite representation of New Orleans on beautiful Magazine Street! The art + craftsmanship of their boards are unmatched but the hospitality of the staff is what keeps me coming back. I’m also in love with the best Pecan Butter they offer. I’ve never seen it anywhere else.

We had an exceptional experience with Nola Boards and are absolutely thrilled with the results.
Mandy, the countertop specialist, was wonderful to work with from start to finish. She helped us design both our white oak pantry countertop and our kitchen island, taking the time to understand our vision and guide us through the many decisions involved. Her expertise, patience, and attention to detail gave us complete confidence throughout the process.
Ian built our white oak kitchen island, and Nick crafted our pantry countertop. Both are incredibly talented craftsmen whose skill and precision are evident in every detail. Their knowledge of wood, construction techniques, and finishing methods was impressive, and the quality of their work exceeded our expectations. The finished pieces are not only beautiful but also feel like heirloom-quality additions to our home.
After a long renovation, it was refreshing to work with a team that was professional, personable, communicative, and genuinely passionate about their craft. The warmth and character of the white oak have become some of our favorite features in both the kitchen and pantry, and we receive compliments on them constantly.
If you are considering custom wood countertops, islands, or any fine woodworking project, I cannot recommend Nola Boards highly enough. Mandy, Ian, and Nick delivered a level of craftsmanship and service that is increasingly hard to find.

Small shop on Magazine with quaint items. I didn't go to shop but rather for a cocktail class and it was awesome. No complaints!
Can I put my wooden cutting board in the dishwasher?
Absolutely NO dishwasher use!
How do I clean my cutting board after each use?
Simply wash your board with your regular dish soap at your sink and with a scrubber brush. Dry with a cloth.
How do I maintain my cutting board for long-term care?
Before you start, be sure your boards are very clean. Give them a scrub with lemon and salt. The boards should also be dry before starting.
What You Need:
• Wooden cutting board, spoons, or other utensils
• Clean, soft cloth or paper towel
• Mineral oil or other food-grade oil
• NOLA Boards board conditioner - MINERAL OIL and BEESWAX BOARD CONDITIONER
Instructions:
• Start with a clean board and utensils. Be sure your cutting board and spoons are as clean as possible and thoroughly dry.
• Apply the oil. Using a clean, soft cloth or paper towel, apply the oil in an even layer over the wood.
• Let it soak in. Remove any excess. Leave the oil to soak in, overnight if possible, or for at least a few hours.
• Apply NOLA Boards board conditioner - MINERAL OIL and BEESWAX BOARD CONDITIONER in a circular motion. Remove excess.
