Nothing matches the warmth and beauty of natural wood countertops. While butcher block wood is common, wide wood planks and natural live edge wood counters have grown in popularity. It is easy to understand why, with their rich color tones, knots, and complex wood grain patterns. Along with our live edge counters, we also assist DIY woodworkers in sourcing quality material and a few trade tips, such as how to fill checks or voids and finish options. Services such as surfacing and cutting are also available.

The wood slab measures 9′ long by 48″ to 76″ wide and 2.5″ thick. The clients wanted to maximize seating and a view. This wood slab achieved what they were looking for. We use a durable natural finish that repels wine, water, soda, and more. As well as being scratch and stain-resistant.

When designing with natural live edge wood, it’s best to let the wood dictate the layout, not the opposite. The client needed a boomerang-shaped slab, and yes, we had one. So, they decided to change the plans and build the cabinets to fit the wood slab. We also designed and handcrafted the driftwood lighting, which followed the island’s couture. It took some creative work, but it turned out great.

Butcher block counters feature strips of wood fabricated together, making a solid, hard surface. This style is also available in end grain and wide plank, the most durable being the end grain butcher block countertops. They are also the most expensive. Simultaneously, wood species like maple, walnut, cherry, hickory, and beech are common choices in your local lumberyard in various sizes. A butcher block or wide plank counter typically ranges from $75 to $300 per square foot. On the other hand, end grain is double the price. With live-edge countertops, the cost ranges from $95 to $500 per square foot.

Butcher block counter

We use a waterproof hand-rubbed finish that becomes part of the wood and expands and contracts with the wood. Thus making it easy to clean and repair if needed. The finish will repel, but only for so long. Also, you cannot place hot pans or dishes directly on the wood as this can cause damage. We suggest using common sense and wiping up spills. Additionally, use the wash and wax care products we suggest, as they will keep your pieces looking great for many years.

The pictured projects are examples of some of our work. Please call at 615-878-6216 or email sales@littlebranchfarm.com.
