History of our Tops

Solid Wood counter tops are not new to us—since 1979 we have been building custom wood counter tops and cabinetry for our customers across the country. Over the years, our customers have asked us to build solid wood counter tops for many of their custom projects. We found a niche, fabricating and installing wood counter tops on kitchen cabinetry, built-in storage benches, desk areas, bar areas, pantries and even as fireplace mantels. The constant demand for solid wood counter tops over the years naturally evolved into a full blown product line.  Our solid wood counter tops are our fastest growing and most popular product that we manufacture. We can add wood counter tops throughout the entire kitchen or for those looking to blend a wood countertop with their existing stone countertops, we also build island countertops to add natural beauty as a contrast to the stone.  Don't forget, we build bar tops, desk tops, table tops, floating wood shelves among other wood products, wherever a solid wood top is needed!   We pride ourselves in supplying customers with whatever solid wood top like accents they need for their various renovation & construction projects.

Our solid wood counter tops are found in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island and beyond. Whether you find one in the second floor bath of a brownstone in Boston or overlooking Sengekontacket Pond on Martha's Vineyard, our countertops and their natural beauty are sure to provide a warmth and character not often seen in today's construction.  Whether your space is traditional or contemporary, our tops make a statement!   Check out our Project Gallery on Houzz!

Our Countertop Construction Styles:

Butcher Block Style (Edge Grain) -  Our edge grain, butcher block style countertops consist of strips of wood measuring 1 5/8" in width being glued together to make your top.  Like our wide plank countertops our butcher block strips of wood also run the entire length of the top and are also biscuited together with wooden biscuits and premium waterproof glues.   There are no finger joints in our butcher block counter tops!  Historically, butcher block style counter tops were finished in mineral oil and used as the kitchens cutting block work surface because the edge grain of the wood is a bit more durable then the face grain. Your butcher block can be used in this fashion or if you desire less maintenance it can instead be sealed with an Oil Based finish that is food safe but not meant to be cut upon. The Butcher Block style offers a more colorful and linear look.  

Plank Style (Face Grain) -   The face grain wide wood plank counter 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. Wood plank counter tops are a bit more classic looking, like a piece of furniture, where you see all the character and grain patterns available in the wood!

Reclaimed Wood Countertops & Live Edge Countertops -   New to our solid wood counter top family are our reclaimed lumber and live edge tops. We have the ability to make either and have a variety of sources for both products. Both our reclaimed lumber and live edge tops are limited in wood species and what our suppliers have available. If this is a product of interest to you call the shop so we can discuss the details!  All we can say is WOW!  A countertop with a story!
