About NOLA Boards

Where Southern Craftsmanship Meets Everyday Function

At NOLA Boards, we believe that the heart of the home starts in the kitchen—and every kitchen deserves tools that are both beautiful and built to last. Founded in the vibrant city of New Orleans, we specialize in handcrafted wooden cutting boards, custom butcher block countertops, and locally inspired gifts that reflect the culture, flavors, and charm of the South.

✦ Our Story

Born from a love of woodworking and Southern hospitality, NOLA Boards started as a passion project and quickly grew into a celebrated gift destination for food lovers and design enthusiasts alike. Today, we serve customers both locally and nationwide with heirloom-quality goods that are as practical as they are beautiful.

From the very beginning, our mission has been simple:
To create thoughtful, functional, and locally made pieces that turn everyday cooking into an experience.
