Good Wood.
Bad Attitude.
From cutting boards to bespoke home goods,
we create pieces with character
— high-end materials, custom engravings, and a touch of edge.
About Bad Cat Woodworking
Bad Cat Woodworking is the creative outlet of craftsman Tom Arthur, who turned a lifelong hobby into a thriving custom woodworking business.
Starting with beautifully detailed cornhole boards, Tom soon found his niche in premium cutting boards and custom home accents, combining hand-selected hardwoods, fine finishes, and modern laser engraving for a truly personalized touch.
Each piece is handmade, sanded to perfection, and finished to last a lifetime. From classic edge-grain boards to striking end-grain statement pieces, no two are alike — and that’s the point.
Crafted from the Finest Woods
We source lumber from Hearne Hardwoods, a world-renowned supplier whose wood graces everything from luxury car interiors to custom kitchens for Brad Pitt.
That same quality and character go into every Bad Cat board — whether you’re chopping vegetables or gifting a one-of-a-kind showpiece.
Custom & Corporate Gifts
Perfect for weddings, housewarmings, holidays, or client thank-yous, Bad Cat cutting boards and artisan home goods make unforgettable gifts.
Add a personal touch with laser engraving:
- Your logo or brand
- A message or monogram
- Custom artwork
Each piece is designed to reflect your taste (or your company’s) with precision and artistry.
