Warm wood countertops in maple, oak, walnut and more, finished for kitchens, islands and bars.
Wood countertops add warmth that stone cannot match. Maple, oak, walnut, cherry and other hardwoods bring natural grain and a soft feel, and butcher block can be made as edge-grain, face-grain or end-grain. Wood is gentle on glassware and knives, and it can be sanded and refinished when it gets worn. It also needs care: wood moves with humidity, it can darken near water and it needs oil or a protective finish. Homeowners in Nashville use wood on islands, bars, work zones and farmhouse kitchens.
We show you samples and explain the finishes, from food-safe mineral oil to hardwax oils and harder films. Near sinks, we recommend extra sealing and good caulk. We fit the top to your cabinets, allow room for seasonal movement and fasten it in a way that lets the wood expand and contract. We cut the sink opening and seal the edges, then finish the surface. We give you a simple oiling schedule so the top stays beautiful for years.
Edge-grain is common and sturdy, face-grain shows wide boards and end-grain is very tough and knife-friendly.
Food-safe oils are easy to refresh. Harder finishes resist water better but are harder to repair.
Wood changes size with humidity, so we fasten it with allowance for movement.
Seal cutouts and edges well and wipe standing water, since moisture is the greatest threat to wood.
