1
Choose the Wood
As a hardwood retailer, we have dozen's of wood species available, from domestic to exotic imports. A few of the more popular choices for countertops include maple, ash and white oak. But there are many other species available. Then when you add your choice of color-rich stain, the possibilities are endless!

Choose the Construction to suit your decorating style
For tables and desks, most people prefer the look of Wide Plank. It consist of each plank being glued side-by-side to create width. It can be finished with a food-safe topcoat that resists scratches, and requires little-to-no maintenance.
However, some people still prefer the look of Butcher Block for tables and desks. Click here to learn more about Butcher Block construction.

Don't forget the Edge! Tables and desks have a routered profile on all exposed edges. This can be a decorative addition to the design or a something very simple. (Today, the 1/8 round over edge is most popular.) Click on the photo to view edge profiles.

Choose the finish
While you may choose a flat finish that highlights the wood’s natural grain or a high gloss for a more modern appearance, the finish is the most important step! As part of our commitment to being an eco-friendly company, we’re proud to offer two finishing options:
Our most popular choice is our commercial-grade, water-based, polycarbonate topcoat. It seals and protects the wood grain while providing a beautiful, easy to clean surface. Available in flat, satin and gloss.
We also offer Rubio Monocoat Natural Oil Finish. It's a plant-based, hardwax oil
that is sustainable and also free of many chemicals found in traditional finishes.
It’s unique quality and durability produces a very natural, authentic feel to the
surface of the wood.
