Sapele End Grain Chopping Board, Butcher Block, Island
CustomMade by Matt Christie
An exotic hardwood similar in strength to white oak, sapele is stronger than its visual cousin mahogany due to an intriguing interlocking grain, making it a fine choice for end grain food preparation surface. It does present a slightly difficult surface to finish, but then again some character is part of any functional wood surface's charm. Non-scarring, self-healing and most gentle on your good knives, only end grain constitutes a genuine chopping block.

Mantel Shelf
by Doug Feb 22nd 2013
the 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.

Matt 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.
