Lumber sales and custom furniture from local, salvaged trees 

Green River Woods is a small urban lumber and custom furniture operation in Asheville, founded by Matt Christie in 2008.  We mill our own material from 100% locally salvaged trees to supply unique live edge slabs and quality kiln dried dimensional lumber to fellow woodworkers and to the public. We produce our own small batch wood finish, and work with clients all over the country to design and build custom pieces.

We value environmental resilience, small scale interdepence and legit sustainability. We insist on fine craftsmanship, attention to detail, grain and finish, creative and enduring form and function.

Having the largest inventory of locally salvaged wood to choose from means we can find just the right material for your projects, color and grain-matching from within the same tree.  Working cooperatively within a talented community of local arborists, woodworkers, metalworkers, sawyers, kiln operators, beekeepers, artists and crafters, we strive to help everyone make creative and best use of locally fallen trees. 

Bee Good Wood Oil® is a premium food safe wood finish, still made one small batch at a time. By popular demand, our Bee Good Wood Butter™ is now too a small, good thing-in-the-world as a more concentrated paste wax, available in a variety of sizes and regional store locations:  100% natural and easy-to-apply fine wood protection. Be good to your wood, and support your local beekeepers/pollinators.
