Custom Woodworking Portfolio

Bar fabrication, commercial build-outs, cabinetry & millwork — designed and built by hand in Asheville, NC.

Custom Bar Tops & Countertop Fabrication

MTR fabricates commercial-grade bar tops and countertops in hardwood butcher block, river stone epoxy, metallic epoxy pour, and cast concrete — built for the demands of a high-volume bar and designed to become the centerpiece of the space. Each surface is engineered to the material: finished to food-safe standards, sealed for commercial durability, and crafted to turn heads from the moment the doors open.

MTR builds custom cabinetry and millwork for Asheville homeowners who want furniture-quality craftsmanship built into their homes. From painted built-ins with crown molding to hardwood kitchens, reclaimed wood vanities, and one-of-a-kind furniture pieces — every residential commission receives the same attention to material selection, joinery, and finish as our commercial work. These are pieces built to last decades.
