Inlaid Cutting Board
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.

Feb 17, 2016We ordered a cabinet from D&S for our dining room. We were very specific with the measurements and style as it had to match our buffet, table and chairs. We were thrilled with the finished product! It far exceeded our expectations. Throughout the process the communication and professionalism were exceptional. We would definitely order from D&S again, they're amazing!

Oct 9, 2014My first interaction with Steve was pleasant. He immediately sent over a CAD according to my specifications and photos, which allowed us to have a solid talking starting point in our conversation. For each iteration, Steve promptly sent over more renderings and really allowed me to customize the banquette to my liking. He really knows his material and craft (which is good because I had no idea) and the final product was truly amazing. He finished the project in about two weeks, much earlier than I expected. Thanks Steve, my banquette goes perfectly in my new room!
