The timeless look of butcher block in the kitchen has a new, modern twist. Creative options include the use of eco-friendly FSC-certified (Forest Stewardship Council) woods, reclaimed woods, local hardwoods, bamboo, and even recycled paper composites. Unique details using inlays, accent stains, edging details, and parquet designs, these countertops are sure to have a great impact in your kitchen. Keeping with the environmentally-sensitive theme, natural, low-VOC oils and stains bring out the beautiful grains. So, where can you get these pieces of art?
- Duluth Timber Company, of Duluth, Minnesota
- Endurawood, of Portland, Oregon (pictured here is their hardrock maple with Oregon walnut countertop)
- Windfall Lumber and Millwork of Tumwater, Washington
