Stunning Beauty: Your end grain Rustic Walnut countertop is sure to be the focal point of your kitchen. We hand select a mix of the dark walnut heartwood (older inside part of the tree) and the lighter walnut sapwood (younger outside part of the tree) to showcase the full color spectrum of the Walnut tree within your countertop.

Quality You Can Count On: Don’t fret, hardwood aficionados. Our wood is hand-selected by us at sustainable sources, and then perfected in our shop in Denver, Colorado. We custom arrange the wood to create a stately piece that you will be proud to put in your home. This premium grade hardwood is grown throughout the Midwestern and Eastern United States and kiln-dried domestically.

Personality That Sets You Apart: At Armani Fine Woodworking, we customize our orders so that they are unique to you. Just give us your desired size, thickness, and finish specifications and we will make it happen. We have our safe-for-chopping Mineral Oil and Organic Beeswax finish, which is the most chosen finish for our end grain butcher block countertops. Monocoat finish and Everlast Satin Varnish finishing options are also available to choose in case you're looking for a well-protected show-piece instead of an active-use chopping block. If you’re not sure what option is best, we’d be happy to help you choose the best option for your home.

Supreme Functionality: Don’t judge our countertops just by their looks. Food prep, specifically chopping, is made much easier with end grain wood because it's gentle on fine knives. The end grain up orientation makes a “catch and release” mechanism that keeps your knives sharper longer, without distressing the wood as much as the typical edge grain countertop. Plus, for food safety, we condition our countertops with mineral oil and beeswax butcher block conditioner finish. This finish is natural, beautiful, and made in-house.

Longevity: At Armani Fine Woodworking, we build a high-quality hardwood countertops you can count on for many years to come and equip you with the knowledge to keep your wood countertops looking great forever.
