Ambrosia Maple Butcher Block Island Top

Genuine END GRAIN ambrosia/spalted maple butcher block island top, made to custom order. This particular top measures 44" long by 29" wide and only 1.75" thick, and features a roman ogee edge detail. Custom counter tops intended for food prep come fully seasoned with my own Block Sauce, containing premium mineral oil and pure beeswax. Only end grain is built for generations of hard use, non-scarring and self-healing and keeping your good knives sharp. Why shouldn't something you use every day also be unique and beautiful?

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 LOVE the cutting board made by Matt Christie!!! It is just as pictured, just as I expected. Matt was very friendly, patient and timely in communicating with me throughout the planning process. The quality of his workmanship is outstanding. I would definitely hire him again to do wood projects for me. I HIGHLY recommend this fine craftsman.

    Matt 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.

    I 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.
