Live Edge, Butcher Block or Classic-Cut
Which Style Countertop Is Right For Your Project?
Designing a custom wood countertop for your clients, your home or your office is easy at Oak City Customs! The first selection you need to make is which style custom wood countertop do you like? All of our wood panels are available in Live Edge, Butcher Block, or Classic-Cut!
Edge Grain Wood
Butcher Block
Our butcher block custom countertops are produced from dimensional lumber, in the species of your choice! Lumber is cut with precision and glued together at the top and bottom faces of the board creating a tabletop that consists of the edges of the the lumber. This method is the most durable of all options and is a great choice when selecting a wood countertop that is very thick!
Face Grain Wood
Live Edge
Beginning with slab lumber, your countertop is produced from live edge wood slabs! This style offers a 'live edge' where the edge of your countertop remains natural to the original contour of the tree! Selecting a live edge custom countertop will allow you to choose from locally sourced urban lumber or exotic tropical hardwoods!
Face Grain Wood
Classic-Cut
This is the traditional style of a custom countertop and is often the most cost effective! Beginning with dimensional lumber, boards are ripped with clean straight edges and then the edges of the boards are glued together to create your custom wood countertop. The countertop will consist of the face of the boards.
