Olive Wood Board Size Guide | The Rustic Dish

Choosing the right size board can make all the difference, whether you're buying for everyday use, entertaining guests, or gifting something special.

Our olive wood boards are crafted from natural wood, meaning every piece is completely unique in shape and grain. Sizes are approximate and may vary slightly due to the natural form of the wood.

Quick Size Guide

As a general rule:

Small boards (20–30cm) are perfect for light prep, nibbles, or decorative use
Medium boards (30–40cm) are ideal for everyday use and small sharing platters
Large boards (40–50cm) are great for serving and entertaining
Extra large boards (50cm+) are statement pieces, perfect for charcuterie and gatherings
