Wood Countertops from Craft-Art® Prior to World War I, food preparation was done on wooden work tables and big chopping blocks. As we modernized, other work surfaces came into use—laminates, ceramic tile, solid surface materials, and natural stone. Now wood is once again becoming popular. The durability and beauty of wood makes it an attractive option, and Craft-Art handcrafts solid wood countertops that are among the finest on the market. Finish Every Craft-Art countertop is sealed and finished with four coats of Waterlox®, an organic tung oil varnish that penetrates into the wood to provide a durable, permanent finish that is waterproof, heat resistant, stain resistant, food-safe, and easy to maintain. The textures and colors of Craft-Art wood countertops are natural, not painted or stained. Construction Styles Three styles are available: plank, in which the countertop surface reveals wide, full-length boards that show off wavy, open grain; edge-grain, revealing narrow, full-length boards and a tighter, darker grain; and end-grain, showing board ends in a checkerboard style. Wood Species A wide variety of woods are available, including exotic woods such as paduak, tigerwood, zebrawood, wenge, iroko, sapele mahogany, and more. Edge Profiles A large selection of hand-routed edge profiles are available. Cutouts, curves, notches, and other special features are precisely cut. Sanitation Recent studies have shown that wood countertops may be the safest work surface in the kitchen. Despite a commonly held belief that wood surfaces harbor bacteria, wood has been found to have natural antibacterial characteristics. Of course, a daily cleaning and disinfecting with a vinegar/water solution is a good idea with any kitchen surface. Quartz Countertops CaesarStone offers the ultimate combination of form and function. Comprised of 93% quartz, one of nature’s strongest minerals, CaesarStone Quartz Surfaces are stain, scratch, chemical, and heat-resistant, making them the ideal choice for care-free countertops. It’s non-porous nature eliminates the need for sealing and even repels the microbes and bacteria other surfaces retain.
