Gauntt Board Company Crafts Restaurant-Quality Cutting Boards

A Kansas City company is bringing craftsmanship to the kitchen with restaurant-quality butcher blocks and cutting boards. Based in Mission, Gauntt Board Company is a supplier for barbeque restaurants across the city like Q39, Char Bar and Gates. 

“The business started completely out of a hobbyist type of mindset,” says Tim Gauntt, the owner of Gauntt Board Company. “When Covid took over, I needed to do something with my hands. Designing has always been something I loved to do.” 

Beyond commercial kitchens, the local business also sells its specially crafted, engraveable boards and knives to home cooks. With an array of sizes and shapes, the boards make for a thoughtful gift this holiday season or a lasting upgrade for your own kitchen.

Each piece is crafted with a blend of wood and Richlite, a durable and sustainable paper composite material—and it’s dishwasher-safe. According to Gauntt, his business is the only fabricator of the wood-replacement surface in the Midwest, and he’s started to expand into the interior design scene with custom countertops. 

“I can cut this material like a piece of wood, but it’s just as strong as a quartz countertop,” Gauntt says. “It’s extremely, extremely durable, and it’s going to start replacing plastics.”
