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.

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.

Mar 6, 2012Matt was easy to work with, very collaborative and the board turned out exactly as envisioned. Great workmanship. I'd use Matt for another project in a heartbeat. This is a present for my wife and she will be thrilled when she sees it.

Jul 23, 2016We had a serving tray made by Matt and it turned out terrific - we couldn't be more pleased. Matt was very patient with me as we worked to figure out exactly what I wanted (which I didn't really know at the beginning of the project). He patiently stepped me through some options and possibilities until we landed on just the right design and wood. Just great. Can't say enough.

Aug 5, 2016Very nice final result. The end-grain cutting board is just what I expected. Most important the communication I had with Matt was easy, fast, and he was very helpful in designing what I wanted.
