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.

For Serving BoardWe 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.

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.
