Hickory End Grain Chopping Board, Butcher Block, Island

I worked with Matt Christie on my project. Matt listened carefully to what I had in mind and offered very useful professional advice. Matt’s expert craftsmanship and attention to detail was evident in the excellent end product. Matt was very easy to communicate with and prompt with his email responses. I received my completed project ahead of schedule and am delighted with it. Definitely good value for money.

Incredible result with masterful craftsmanship. Absolutely recommend doing business with them!

Awesome service and indestructible board. Iva had it for over a year now and it looks as good as the day I got it.

Matt created a magnificent gift for my son and daughter-in-law. It was a pleasure working with Matt, he made the process so easy and customer friendly. His work is stunning and I will not hesitate to spread the word to my friends and colleagues. Thank you Matt.

I 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.

Beautiful cutting board from Matt. Matt was very good communicating with me in getting what I wanted. Highly recommended.

Very nice final result. The end-grain cutting board is just what I expected. Most important the communication I had with Matt was easy, fast, and he was very helpful in designing what I wanted.

We had a serving tray made by Matt and it turned out terrific - we couldn't be more pleased. Matt was very patient with me as we worked to figure out exactly what I wanted (which I didn't really know at the beginning of the project). He patiently stepped me through some options and possibilities until we landed on just the right design and wood. Just great. Can't say enough.

Just recieved my cutting board from Matt. I am thrilled. His recommendations were wonderful - all of which I took have resulted in a work of art. His communication was fantastic and he answered every question very quickly. I am going to love using this cutting board every day and know I will pass it down within my family. Thank you so much Matt.

I absolutely LOVE this sycamore butcher block! Matt communicated timely and I had the block within the time specified. It arrived with a bottle of oil to nurture the block with as well. The grain and craftsmanship put into the block are amazing) Its just beautiful! Highly recommend Greenriverwoods!

I LOVE the cutting board made by Matt Christie!!! It is just as pictured, just as I expected. Matt was very friendly, patient and timely in communicating with me throughout the planning process. The quality of his workmanship is outstanding. I would definitely hire him again to do wood projects for me. I HIGHLY recommend this fine craftsman.

The cutting board turned out beautifully! I really appreciate the Bee oil too. Thank you so much for being willing to take my request and ship to arrive for Christmas :)

First thing's first: the cutting board Matt made for me was perfect and I expect to be using it for many years to come. He selected some gorgeous maple ambrosia wood and the color and style and really, everything was spot on. I couldn't be happier with the end product. We had a few bits of miscommunication along the way to the degree that Matt actually built several versions of the board before it matched what I wanted. The main reason I mention this is to highlight that at each step, he went out of his way to make sure I was satisfied with the result. When I wasn't (even though the results were beautiful), Matt was more than happy to try again. I'm sure my experience was atypical (Matt not nailing it on the first try), but it's great to know he cares this much about customer satisfaction. I'll be recommending him to anyone who wants beautiful custom board and wouldn't hesitate to have him make something else for me. Bonus: I wanted to make a matching magnetic wooden knife block and Matt threw in a few beautiful matching pieces of wood for me in the shipment. Thanks, Matt!

Beautiful block made to specs. Looks great in our kitchen. This will be a family heirloom, for sure.

I wanted a custom butcher block to inset over the griddle area of our new gourmet stove/cooktop (we aren't going to use that area at all). I gave Matt very precise measurements so the block would EXACTLY fit into the inset griddle space and at the right height...and it did perfectly. Nice and tight so crumbs and bits won't fall inside the stove. Matt communicated well from the start and turned around the project quickly in time for Thanksgiving. He even supplied some of his custom oil for sealing the butcher block. It looks great and is perfect for our new kitchen. Good job1

the piece was created as requested. however, it arrived chipped. it may have occurred during shipping. I didn't want to ship back a 45lb mantel to Greenriverwoods so I accepted it as-is. However, had I purchased a similar piece from a major retailer I would have returned it. Upon communicating with Greenriverwoods, he sent me a repair kit, free of charge. It was delivered within a week of our email conversation. All in all, we love the addition to our fireplace. It's unique and fits our home decor perfectly. The shipping experience will make me think twice before using Custom Made again however.

I worked with Matt and he was great with communication and giving me something unique that fit within the guidelines I put out there. His work is beautiful and I would definitely use him again for future projects. Thank you Matt for enhancing our new bar area with your art and craftsmanship :)

Matt was easy to work with, very collaborative and the board turned out exactly as envisioned. Great workmanship. I'd use Matt for another project in a heartbeat. This is a present for my wife and she will be thrilled when she sees it.
