Why Choose Wood For Your Custom Islands?

North Ridgeville Kitchen Remodel Featuring Custom Solid Wood Island and Countertops by Mr.Countertops

Stone is cold – Wood is inviting. It’s the natural surface that makes guests want to lean in and stay awhile.

Unlike cracked granite or chipped query, wood is alive. It can be sanded and refinished to look brand new 20 years from now.

End-grain surfaces are naturally antimicrobial and act as a “cushion” for your knives, keeping your edges sharper longer.

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE WOODS WE USE


The Ohio-Grown Advantage


Sustainably Sourced

Much of our inventory is sustainably harvest or salvaged right her in the Northeast

Grain Direction Matters

We explain the difference between Edge-grain (stability) and End-grain (self-healing for knives).

Wadsworth Craftsmanship

Every cut, sand and pour happens in our Medina County Shop

The “Perfect Joint”

Our oversized islands are joined with hidden steel fasteners, meaning no visible seams, even on a 12-foot island.

Kiln Dried

Our Slabs spend months in the kiln to ensure they don’t warp or crack in the shifting Ohio humidity

Finish Science

Choose between our “Daily Prep” oil or our “Liquid Glass” permanent seal for islands with sinks.
