Extendable Trestle Table With Modern Flare
Custom built for a client in Asheville, this table features mortise and tenon joinery, two 18" self-storing leaves and ability to seat 2-8 people comfortably. Easily expanded and collapsed by one person with minimal effort, from 48" to over 7 feet long. Table is lightweight and sturdy, with legs that don't get in the way. Made from curly ambrosia / spalted red maple. Every table is custom-built and orders must be arranged well in advance. Local pick-up recommended, although I'm willing to discuss shipping if required.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
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 Oak End Grain Chopping Board, Butcher Block, Island4.8Very 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. - DP

For Patchwork Mixed Wood End Grain Chopping Board, Butcher Block, Island5.0I wanted a custom butcher block to inset over the griddle area of our new gourmet stove/cooktop (we aren't going to use that area at all). I gave Matt very precise measurements so the block would EXACTLY fit into the inset griddle space and at the right height…and it did perfectly. Nice and tight so crumbs and bits won't fall inside the stove. Matt communicated well from the start and turned around the project quickly in time for Thanksgiving. He even supplied some of his custom oil for sealing the butcher block. It looks great and is perfect for our new kitchen. Good job1

For Oak End Grain Chopping Board, Butcher Block, Island5.0I 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.
