I love my custom chopping board, so detailed and great quality.
Everything is excellent! I had a design with my dog's picture, and it looks amazing. Thank you so much!
Excellent customer service, adjustments to the image as I requested. They continued refining it until I was completely happy with the final result. My daughter loves her birthday present.

Almost everything we make can be personalised, or made from scratch to your idea. Pets, names, places, logos and dates all welcome.
Your idea, engraved.
A handwritten recipe, the family pet, a favourite place, a logo, a date that matters: bring us the idea and we'll turn it into a piece you'll want to keep on display. It's the part our customers love most.
Send us your idea
A photo, a sketch, a logo, a name or a place. Tell us the occasion and the piece you have in mind, and we'll talk it through.
We draw it up
We set and refine your artwork, then send a proof so you can see exactly how it'll look before anything is engraved.
We engrave & deliver
Engraved cleanly into timber with the detail we're known for, then collected or posted, wrapped and ready to give.
See it engraved, before it's made.
Upload a photo, a logo or a name, and see it on a board in seconds. When you're happy, send it through and we'll draw up the real proof.
Upload a design to begin
Instant preview only: every order is professionally redrawn, proofed with you, then engraved into timber.
A few custom pieces.
Choose a design, choose a board.

A small local maker, by design.
DB Designs Local began in early 2025 with a single personalised gift we couldn't find anywhere else, so we made it ourselves. By April it had grown into a business, built on a love of meaningful, personalised pieces.
We work from Geelong and the Bellarine, and you'll still find us at the markets where it all began.
From your idea to engraved.
Commission: share the occasion, design or piece you have in mind.
Design & proof: we set your artwork and refine it until it's right.
Engrave & deliver: engraved cleanly into timber, then collected or sent, wrapped and ready.
Let's make yours.
Tell us about the piece, the occasion or the order. We'll reply personally with the next steps, pricing and timing.
In-store at Rivertree Traders, Ocean Grove.
