Wood Species for Butcher Block Countertops
MTE offers a variety of wood types for butcher’s blocks and countertops alike, including, but not limited to:
Styles and Stains for Wood Countertops
MTE wood specialists will customize any wood stain to achieve the desired color for your butcher block or countertop. The most common stains include:- Natural, to highlight the wood's natural color and grain pattern. Pale stains are suitable for light-colored kitchens and induce a rustic feel.
- Dark, to add a rich, elegant color to the wood. Dark stains add a touch of luxury.
- Medium, to create a more modern, minimalistic look. Medium stains mix natural, dark and light stains to achieve a unique color. Yellow-based stains add warmth to your kitchen.
Benefits of Wood Kitchen Countertops
Other than being the most affordable kitchen counter option for homeowners, wood counters offer an array of special benefits unmatched by traditional granite or laminate counters. The benefits include:
- Durable, yet soft: There’s no clatter of dropped dishes or fear of shattering delicate wine glasses from short distances, yet they resist heavy wear and tear.
- Sound absorbing: Wood counters offer homeowners a quiet cooking experience by absorbing appliance sounds, which would otherwise be amplified by stone or metal counters.
- Always look new: Since wood can be continuously refinished, you can buff out burn marks, scratches, and knife cuts to keep your counter as nice as the day we installed it.
- Environmentally friendly: At MTE, we maintain our sustainable Menominee forests and produce great quality custom wood products that have kept us in business for centuries.
- Unique Character: these beautiful additions to your kitchen can match other custom wood products from MTE Millwork.
Edge Grain Butcher Block Countertops
Edge grain shows you the wood cut along the edge and with the grain. An edge grain butcher block is usually made from strips of wood that are lined up evenly or assembled in a pattern that resembles a hardwood floor.
Protective Sealants & Wood Counter Finishes
It’s the age-old question for any wood product in your home: do you stain? Do you finish? Do you leave the natural beauty?
We suggest finishing your new counter or butcher’s block with a food-protectant seal, like:
- Oil
- Oil-Wax Blend
- Clear Coat
We'll ensure your new food-cutting surface is safe from staining chemicals.
