"Matt and his team work tirelessly to make premium local slabs available for woodworkers and end customers alike. Walnut, oak, cherry, maple, and many other species are available in his gallery. He has extensive knowledge of trees and their properties and takes great care to mill and dry the wood to perfection. I have used his lumber countless times to build my furniture. Matt is also an incredible woodworker. I admire and am inspired by his work. I highly recommend him!"

"We are so glad we worked with Matt for our kitchen countertops. He has a great selection of wood species to choose from and ultimately pointed us towards one that would go well with our new cabinets. The countertops look absolutely amazing and Matt was great to work with!"

"I am delighted to write this reference for Matt Christie at Green River Woods. However, nothing could give me as much pleasure as the live edge shelves he crafted for me. Like many, I moved to Asheville and paid more for a house that needed more work than any place I’d ever lived before. I envisioned splurging on Western North Carolina-inspired live edge shelves but, after contacting numerous vendors and crafts people, they seemed beyond my dwindling budget. When I talked with Matt, he was both reasonable and kind. He personally selected the wood with me and made the most beautiful shelves I could have imagined, at a price point I could afford. Honestly, I can say that purchasing these exquisitely crafted art pieces from Matt was my first unqualified joy with the house since buying it. The shelves are just incredibly beautiful. Matt worked with me to ensure that I had the finish and the dimensions that I wanted. He made recommendations about the brackets that would be best to hang them and guided me when an error on the part of the handyman installing them required touchup. All in all, there aren’t enough words to recommend Matt. Beyond his exquisite craftsmanship, he uses only re-purposed wood; my shelves come with a story that is anchored in Asheville. What more could anyone want? I recommend him highly and would use him again, for a project of any size, without hesitation."

"I give my home buyers Green River Woods cutting boards and Bee Good Wood Butter as closing gifts and my clients LOVE them! It's so nice to shop locally, give one of a kind gifts made from locally slavaged wood, and support a wonderful Asheville business. Matt is professional and prompt and his work is exquisite."

"I have several cutting boards from Matt, which I love and use daily, and I only use his beeswax on everything wood in my kitchen. I'm looking forward to him making something for my family out of our maple tree which has died, but holds all of our memories of growing children and our lovely neighborhood in its heart. Asheville is lucky to have someone like Matt doing the work he does salvaging trees and making beautiful and functional pieces from them."
