Hardwood Reflections countertops are made of solid wood staves that are finger jointed and edge glued for a classic butcher block look. A variety of species are available so you can pick a color and style that works for your space. The countertops are sold unfinished, so you can customize your piece with any common DIY woodworking options, including cutting in sinks, creating joints for corners, routing edges, distressing, or making custom shaped pieces for a unique install. Multiple finish options are also available, including stain from Hardwood reflections, varnishes, poly topcoats, or food safe mineral oils and conditioners. Maple is a classic wood for butcher block, with light, consistent colors from cream to light tan. Considered a hard wood, it will wear well and has good abrasion resistance. Maple has a fine, generally straight grain pattern.
