Cherry End Grain Chopping Board, Butcher Block, Island
Photosensitive and tightly grained cherry makes a very classy and superior end grain chopping surface, any size. Slightly more expensive than either plain or ambrosia maple, but very stunning in color and grain. Very generally speaking, for cherry in END GRAIN construction I charge approximately $45-55/BF, where one board foot is 12" x 12" x 1" thick.

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.

Feb 22, 2013the 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.

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.
