Butcher Block Rare Earth Magnets

Very strong rare earth magnets embedded in the side of an end grain chopping block keep your good knives conveniently close at hand, and protected. Photos are past custom-built blocks from spalted/ambrosia maple. Nearly any wood and any custom details are possible; please start a conversation to discuss yours. Prices vary based on dimensions, wood and degree of detail, such as arch legs, groove-work, and number of magnets. Normal turnaround is *usually* 3-6 weeks from time a 1/2 deposit is received. For more information on grain construction and wood block care, please message me! thanks!

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.

    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.
