The History Behind Our Countertops

Wood countertops are not new to us, since 1979 we have been building custom cabinetry for our customers. Over the years our customers have asked us to build wood tops for many of our custom projects. We found ourselves putting wood tops on our kitchen cabinetry, built in storage benches, desk areas and even fire place mantels. The constant demand for wood countertops over the years naturally led us to where we are now offering them as a product line. Our countertops are all over New England. Whether you find one in the second floor of a brownstone in Boston or overlooking the ocean on Marthas Vineyard our countertops are sure to provide a warmth and character not often seen in today's construction. Our tops provide a traditional feel unmatched by any other countertop product. They can be used as the main top in your kitchen or as an accent piece for some stand alone cabinetry!

Construction of your Top

When building our tops we offer two different construction techniques, a face grain wide plank top and edge grain butcher block. The face grain wide plank tops will use boards measuring between 3"-10" in width. Each board will run the length of the countertop and be glued and biscuit joined the entire length using only premium waterproof glues. Our edge grain butcher block tops consist of strips of wood measuring 1 5/8" in width being glued together to make your top. Like our wide plank tops our butcher block strips of wood also run the entire length of the top and are also biscuited together with premium waterproof glues. The materials we use for our countertops are like people, their colors and appearances vary. Our craftsmen hand select the materials to provide the greatest color and grain match available, we also cut around unsightly imperfections and defects but keep in mind color and grain patterns are naturally occurring and their individual variations are what make them beautiful. The color and grain variation are part of the charm of your natural wood top and can not be controlled. You must expect that your top will have a certain amount of variation and will even vary from a sample that has been provided to you. The thickness of your counter top is only limited by the raw materials available. Our standard thicknesses are listed below or ask us and we will see if thicker material for your top is available from our suppliers.

Our Edge Profiles

We offer many different edge profiles, pictures of our most common are listed below. We can apply other profiles to our countertops at your request. All of our profiles are made using quarter inch and half inch shank router bits. Feel free to send us the link to the manufacturer of your favorite edge profile with its product number and if we don't already have it we will add it to our collection building your countertop. Here are the links to manufacturers of edge profiling bits we most often use:
