A live edge countertop retains the natural edge of the tree from which it was cut. Instead of a straight, uniform edge, a live edge countertop follows the natural contours and imperfections of the wood. This results in a one-of-a-kind piece that highlights natural beauty, including the unique knots, cracks and grain patterns of the wood.
Hardwood countertops
Hardwood countertops are made from solid wood, typically from hardwood tree species such as oak, cherry and walnut. These countertops are crafted by glueing together thick planks of wood to form a solid, durable surface. The rich textures and grains of the wood make each countertop unique, adding warmth and character to your home.
Countertop Uses
Wooden kitchen countertops
A wooden countertop can serve as a stunning centrepiece in your kitchen. It pairs beautifully with both modern and rustic designs, adding warmth and texture to sleek cabinets or enhancing the charm of a farmhouse kitchen.
Bathroom vanities
In the bathroom, a hand crafted countertop can turn a mundane vanity into a work of art. The natural wood grain and edge create a spa-like atmosphere, perfect for relaxation.
Dining tables and bar tops
Wood countertops make stunning dining tables and bar tops. These pieces will become the focal point of social gatherings, adding a sense of craftsmanship and artistry to your dining and entertaining space.
Accent pieces
If you are not ready to commit to the addition of a large countertop to your home, smaller pieces such as coffee tables, desks, or shelving can introduce the same natural charm.
Care and maintenance
While hardwood countertops are durable, they do require some care to maintain their beauty. Proper sealing is crucial to protect the wood from moisture and stains. Depending on the type of finish used, you may need to reapply the sealant periodically. Use a mild soap and water solution for daily cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the wood. Use cutting boards and trivets to protect the surface from scratches and heat.
Wooden kitchen countertops offer a unique blend of natural beauty and versatility. They can transform any space into a warm and inviting environment, connecting the indoors with the outdoors. Whether you prefer the rustic charm of live edge wood or the sleek elegance of a modern design, a hardwood countertop is a timeless addition that will enhance your home’s character for years to come.
