Holiday Gift Guide
Holiday gifts, handmade in Quebec
Solid hardwood cutting boards and furniture, made by hand one at a time in Sainte-Anne-des-Lacs, Quebec. Add a name, initials or a date with laser engraving, and a useful gift becomes a keepsake.
Made by hand. Every piece is made one at a time, so grain and colour vary naturally and no two are alike.
Solid hardwood. Cutting boards in cherry and maple, furniture in solid red oak.
Built to last. Made for everyday use and built to last for generations.
Board butter included. Every cutting board comes with a 100 ml can of board butter.
Personalized engraving
Make it personal. Laser engraving adds a name, initials or a special date (up to about 30 characters) to any Atelier des Lacs cutting board.
Easy to add. Just mention the text in the Instagram message when buying. Laser engraving is optional, $20.
Good to know. Engraved pieces are final sale.
For the cook
End-grain cutting boards: the wood stands on end, so the knife slips into the grain instead of scraping across it. Kind to edges, and each one is ready to engrave.
