Custom Mahogany Cutlery Tray 77×48 cm

This Custom Mahogany Cutlery Tray 77×48 cm was made by Esther Oriku for a full-width kitchen drawer that needed a precise wooden insert rather than a standard off-the-shelf organizer. It is a useful example for anyone planning a made-to-measure cutlery tray in solid wood with a specific divider layout and a clean fitted look.

• Request: The project called for a mahogany cutlery drawer insert with external dimensions of 77 × 48 × 5 cm and a custom partition arrangement to suit the customer’s preferred storage layout.
• Final result: The finished tray kept the requested outer size so it could fit the drawer properly, and the customer later confirmed that it fitted perfectly and looked very beautiful in place.
• Design details: Esther Oriku used 1 cm outer walls and slimmer 0.5 cm internal dividers, allowing the tray to keep its strong frame while creating multiple compartments for sorting cutlery and kitchen utensils.
• Fit and use: This kind of custom wooden drawer insert works well when standard organizers waste space or slide around, especially in larger kitchen drawers where exact width, depth and height matter.
• Process: Progress photos were shared during the build and finishing stages, helping show how the tray developed from the first construction phase to the completed polished piece.
