Black walnut, either steamed or kiln dried, makes a very classy chef-quality end grain chopping board. Arranged in original grain patterns, often with larger and more stable pieces, and using hidden wood plate biscuits for extra stability. Available in any size, all my butcher blocks are hand-crafted from log or rough board selection to detail and finish with decades and even generations of hard daily use in mind.

I specialize in custom furniture from salvaged trees, unique and heirloom quality end grain surfaces, butcher blocks, tables, and islands all sizes.
We work with responsible local arborists and sawyers to perform the modern art of urban wood salvage around the greater Asheville area, preserving large trees of a wide variety of species in beautiful slab form that would otherwise be ground up at the mulch yard and turning them into custom-designed furniture and–for lack of a more humble word–art.

For Oak End Grain Chopping Board, Butcher Block, IslandI gave this custom cutting board to my mother-in-law for Xmas. She really loved it - so much so that she wants to use it as an art piece and not use it for chopping veggies. Matt was very responsive and easy to work with. I really liked the range of work examples he has on his profile. I chose the type of wood I liked best, the size and the final product was just beautiful. I'd definitely recommend this service to anyone else who is looking for something special.
