Custom Inlay End-Grain Cutting Boards

A One-of-a-Kind Heirloom, Crafted Just for You

Turn your vision into a lasting centerpiece with a custom inlay cutting board. Whether it’s a family name, meaningful image, logo, or original design, Danl will transform your idea into a functional work of art. Each board begins with your submitted concept, which is refined into a digital proof for your approval before production begins.

Built on a foundation of Walnut or Maple end-grain construction, these boards combine unmatched durability with striking detail. Depending on the design, inlays may include up to four additional hardwoods such as cherry, purpleheart, yellowheart, or padauk. Every board is unique, engineered to protect your knives, and built to last for generations.

  • Select the size and base material you want your board:

    • Walnut or Maple

    • 24X18X2.5”

  • Submit your design or inspiration.

  • Pay the $150 design fee (non-refundable) to begin digital proof creation.

  • Review and approve your custom proof.

  • A deposit will be required once the design is finalized. The deposit amount is depended on many factors such as personalization, materials needed, and resell potential in the event you change your mind. Details will be discussed before work begins.

Your board is then handcrafted to order.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the design fee required up front?

The $150 design fee covers the work of preparing your inlay design for proofing. Because of the time involved, this fee is non-refundable even if you choose not to proceed.

2. Why is the deposit non-refundable?

Once you approve a design, the board is made specifically for you — often with names, dates, or personal imagery. These boards cannot be resold, so the 50% deposit is non-refundable.

3. How long will my custom board take to complete?

Build times vary by complexity. Some simple inlays can be finished in a few weeks, while intricate designs may take over a month. You’ll receive an estimated timeline after your design is finalized.

4. What hardwoods can be used in the inlay?

All custom inlay boards begin with a Walnut or Maple base. Inlays may include up to four additional hardwoods (such as cherry, purpleheart, yellowheart, or padauk), chosen for contrast and design integrity.

5. Can I submit my own artwork or logo?

Yes. You may provide a logo, image, or sketch, and we’ll adapt it into an inlay-ready design. In some cases, designs may need to be simplified for the best results in wood.
