End Grain Butcher Block Desk Top
"Pixelated" patchwork butcher block top, from local black walnut and northern curly rock maple. This end grain top was custom made as a desk top for a client whose boyfriend works in the blogging industry. Finished in many, many coats of hand-rubbed polyurethane since this was not intended as a food prep surface. Price depends on wood type and dimensions. Top pictured measures 54" long x 16" wide x 1.5" thick. Any butcher block top intended for chopping is treated instead with my own handmade block sauce, consisting primarily of premium quality food grade mineral oil and locally-sourced beeswax.

Green River Woods, Inc.
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.

Jan 18, 2017Matt 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.

Jan 10, 2017I 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.
