Black walnut butcher block countertops are a luxurious and visually striking choice, offering both beauty and functionality. Here’s a detailed description:

Material and Appearance
    •    Rich Color: Black walnut is known for its deep, warm tones, ranging from chocolate brown to lighter, honeyed shades with occasional streaks of cream or tan sapwood, creating a dynamic, high-contrast look.
    •    Grain Pattern: The wood’s grain can be straight, wavy, or slightly curly, contributing to its character and sophistication. A butcher block countertop highlights this natural variation, giving the surface depth and texture.

Finish Options
    •    Natural Oil Finish: Enhances the wood’s natural beauty and color while maintaining a matte, organic look. This option requires regular maintenance but keeps the surface food-safe.
    •    Conversion Varnish: Provides a matte finish, sealing the wood for added durability and reducing maintenance needs.

Construction Style
    •    Edge Grain: Planks are placed on their edges, showcasing a linear, uniform pattern that is both durable and visually appealing.
    •    End Grain: Small blocks are arranged vertically, creating a checkerboard appearance. This style is ideal for heavy-duty chopping but has a more artisanal aesthetic.
    •    Face Grain: Wide boards display the full grain pattern, emphasizing the wood’s luxurious look but requiring more care to avoid scratches.

Practical Benefits
    •    Durability: Black walnut is a dense, hardwood species that resists wear and tear, making it ideal for kitchen use.
    •    Workability: The surface is knife-friendly, reducing wear on your blades while providing a reliable cutting surface.
    •    Customizability: Can be customized to fit any kitchen size or shape, with options for beveled edges, rounded corners, or integrated sinks.

Maintenance
    •    Sealing: Requires periodic oiling (e.g., with mineral oil or beeswax) to maintain its finish, prevent drying out, and protect against stains.
    •    Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid excessive water exposure to prevent warping.

Aesthetic Appeal

Black walnut butcher block countertops are a timeless addition to kitchens, blending seamlessly with a variety of design styles, from rustic and farmhouse to modern and minimalist. Their rich tones and natural elegance make them a focal point in any space.

Materials

Our farmhouse table tops are made of solid oak, cherry or maple, your choice. Why buy a cheap pine table when you can have a handmade, hard wood top for the same price that will last you much longer!

Shipping & Returns

Since each table is 100% hand made, we ask for 4-5 weeks from order to completed table. Please allow an additional 1-2 weeks for shipping. Each table will be delivered with your legs detached. Legs attach with wing nuts (included) and are very easy to install. Our tables are shipped via third party. Each table is blanket wrapped to ensure it is not damaged during shipping. Shipping is only available to the lower 48 states. Tables are curb or porch drop off.

*No returns as these are all custom pieces.

Dimensions

Our tables start at 5' long and we can build up to 12' tables. A typical table is 30" tall, 36"-40" wide but we can accommodate up to 46" in width. If you want a custom size, please feel free to reach out and get a quote!

Care Instructions

Tables are sealed with a high quality two part European conversion varnish. No special care needed. Recommend a natural cleaner for your table.
