Luxury Wood Inlay Cutting Board – Handcrafted End Grain Masterpiece
This is not an everyday carving board. It’s a work of art, from wood. Our luxury wood inlay cutting boards combine end-grain construction with intricate designs in contrasting timbers, creating a one-of-a-kind centrepiece for the kitchen or dining table. Each board is handmade to order, sometimes taking months to complete.
This is functional art at its most refined.
The Craft
- End-grain hardwood construction – durable, heavy-duty, and designed to last a lifetime.
- Intricate wood inlays – hand-cut designs (like butterflies, florals, geometric patterns) made by setting light timbers into darker walnut or oak backgrounds.
- Up to 10 mm deep inlay – permanent, seamless, and built to withstand real kitchen use.
- Unique grain & colour – no two boards are the same.
Bespoke by Nature
Every inlay board is custom made. Choose from existing designs, or contact us to create something completely new. Whether it’s a family crest, logo, or a personal motif, we’ll work with you to bring it to life.

Why are these boards so expensive?
Each one takes weeks to craft, requiring specialist skills and rare timbers. They are functional art, intended to last a lifetime.
When James told me I’d be the first customer to receive one of his signature inlay carving boards, I knew it was going to be special — but honestly, I was blown away when it arrived.
The craftsmanship is beyond anything I expected. The detail in the cow inlay is stunning — sharp, precise, and beautifully contrasted against the dark end-grain walnut. You can see the time, care, and passion that went into it from every angle. It’s not just a chopping board... it’s a statement piece. Truth be told, I probably won’t even use it — at least not for chopping! It’s proudly on display in the kitchen, and it starts a conversation every time someone sees it.
James, thank you. You absolutely nailed this. I feel privileged to own the first of what I know will become a signature range. Worth every penny and then some.
