Edge Grain Cutting Board, Carving Board, Food Prep Board, Counter Top
Edge grain makes a harder surface than either face or end grain, so is more likely to dull your knives. Makes a fine, economical counter top. Unlike end grain, which is self-healing, it will also scar more easily. Popular for cooking television shows and busy kitchens, edge grain makes for an enduring carving and cutting surface without as much concern for maintenance and regular oiling as end grain. As always pour-off corners, garlic wells, side finger grooves. etc. add functional detail. Available in nearly any wood and any size up to counter or bar top.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
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 Patchwork Mixed Wood End Grain Chopping Board, Butcher Block, Island5.0I 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

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.

For Oak End Grain Chopping Board, Butcher Block, Island5.0I 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.
