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!

Matt Christie
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.
