This butcher-block style cutting board has a map of Lake Placid inlaid on one side. The cutting board is made of walnut, and the inlay is quilted maple. We selected the maple because it contrasts nicely with the walnut and also because the wave in the quilting appears very fluid, like the water of the lake. The board is about 20 inches x 14 inches x 3 inches thick. The inlay goes in a full 1/2 inch, in case the owner decides to use that side for cutting (but we hope they don't! It's too pretty!). The butcher block style, with end-grain showing on the "business" side, helps to protect the edge of the knife blades that will be used on it.

I highly recommend D&S Artistic Woodworking! We hired Steve to make a custom reception desk for a commercial office space. Steve was a pleasure to work with throughout the design process. He was very responsive and worked back and forth with our team to achieve our desired outcome. He also offered very helpful suggestions and design solutions to ensure that we reached our ideal end result. The reception desk is beautiful and our clients are thrilled! We look forward to working with him again on future projects!
