Brazilian Oak Counter Tops

Oak is known for its durability, and Brazilian Oak harder than American Oak, and difficult to work because of its hardness.  To demonstrate - Brazilian Oak measures 1912 on the Janka hardness scale.  American Red Oak measures 1290 and Teak, only 1000.   One of these counter tops will last a lifetime.  It will darken somewhat becoming redder, and browner over time.

Counter-tops are pressure laminated. The joins are stronger than the wood itself and will never delaminate.  Grain always runs the "long" way.  In other words, once installed, when facing the counter you'll observe the grain running from left to right.

Edge Grain Counter Top Close-up
End Grain Brazilian Oak is the most striking, is most resilient, and will hold up under the most demanding conditions.  End Grain counters and cutting boards are assembled by sawing off the outer layers of bark, quartering the log, removing the pith, and essentially rebuilding the log in a square shape.  Somewhat yellower than edge grain, End Grain Brazilian oak will nevertheless redden and darken with time.  Click image for close-up view.  Enter sizes below, for pricing.
