Premium Walnut Wide Plank (Face Grain) Countertop
Premium Walnut Wide Plank Countertop Details
At the Hardwood Lumber Company, we manufacture our countertops from the highest quality timber. Our premium walnut butcher block countertops are made almost entirely from heartwood, the deeper, core wood of Walnut trees. Walnut heartwood is known for its characteristic dark coloration, mix of straight and swirled wood grain, and its hardness.
Custom wide plank countertops are made with board face turned up (flat grain). The random width planks run the full length of the countertop. Our wide plank counters do not have any butt joints or finger joints. Our Countertops are made with a good top surface and four good sides. This means the bottom surface might have imperfections. Selecting the High-Grade Bottom Surface option allows you to have the bottom surface be the same grade as the top surface and four sides.
Walnut is more durable than other species of hardwoods, including maple and oak. Because of its durability and resilience, walnut heartwood has been a staple choice for furniture and tables for centuries. Walnut’s dark hues complement lighter tones perfectly, offering a classic mix of rich tones for any home kitchen.
Please Note: Because each piece of wood has its own unique character, grain and color will vary from the sample images shown. All wood countertops are custom made to order. All orders revised or cancelled after going into production (within 24 hours after order is received) will have a restocking fee of up to 50%.
Warranty Information: Please carefully read all warranty information, including installation instructions and timeframe.
About Our Premium Walnut
Premium Walnut Countertops contain nearly 100% Heart wood. This gives the piece a solid, premium look that is unsurpassed. The construction of a premium piece is incredibly rigid and strong because of its nearly 100% Heart wood composition. This gives the piece an incredibly premium feel to it that cannot be matched by any mixture of sap and hardwood. These countertops have a Rich Dark Walnut Color that is unmistakably premium. If you prefer a Premium Piece with a Rigid construction and a Rich Walnut color, then you can’t go wrong with Premium Walnut.
Customize Your Premium Walnut Countertop
Select from a variety of made-to-order custom options for your premium walnut butcher block countertop. Learn more about each option below.
Size
We can make premium walnut wide plank countertops up to 1-3/4” thick, 84'' wide, and 138" long.
Finish
We offer a wide selection of finish options for your countertop, including options like acrylic polyurethane, and food safe mineral oil. You can also choose to leave your walnut countertop unfinished if you would like to complete this step yourself. We offer stain match services if you need your countertop to match other features in your home.
Edge Detail and Texture
Edge details allow you to further customize the look and feel of your countertop. Choose from a variety of edge details, including Rustic Edge, French Tradition, and Cove & Bead. If you prefer to have your countertop sanded smooth and have no texture, be sure to select NONE in the Texture Options.
Wire Brushed texture works best on wood with an open grain. For tighter grain woods, like Walnut, the Wire Brushed Texture will not have the same effect and will not be as visible.
Cuts and Countertop Prepping
To make installation easier, we offer custom CNC cuts and countertop prepping. Specify the types of prepping or cuts you want, and provide drawings if applicable.
Most of our woodworkers are craftsmen from the local Amish community, providing great attention to quality and detail throughout the manufacturing process.

Your new Hardwood Lumber Company countertop is protected by a one-year warranty against defects in material and workmanship. To ensure your warranty remains valid, any unfinished countertops must be finished and installed within one week of delivery, and you must follow our Countertop Finishing and Installation Guide precisely. Natural wood characteristics, such as minor warping due to environmental changes (often correctable with proper installation) or variations in grain and color, are not considered defects. The warranty does not cover scuffs or scratches on prefinished countertops caused by installation or normal wear and tear. Specific conditions that will void the warranty include not adhering to the finishing and installation guide, failing to support overhangs greater than 10 inches, or not properly protecting cutouts for stoves (from heat) and sinks (from moisture). Additionally, countertops with sink cutouts that have a Mineral Oil Finish or Salad Bowl Finish are not covered under this warranty

To keep your hardwood countertop looking its best and performing well for years to come, proper care is essential. If your countertop arrived unfinished, it's crucial to apply a food-safe finish to all surfaces (top, bottom, and all edges) within one week of delivery. For countertops finished with oil, re-apply a quality butcher block oil or conditioner approximately twice a month, or whenever the wood begins to look dry, to keep it hydrated and protected. Clean your countertop regularly with mild soap and warm water, wiping up spills promptly. For disinfection, a diluted white vinegar solution can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners and never let water stand on the surface for extended periods. For specialized finishes like Rubio Monocoat, use the recommended cleaning and maintenance products to preserve its unique properties.
Premium Walnut
The sapwood of walnut is creamy white, while the heartwood is light brown to dark chocolate brown, occasionally with a purplish cast and darker streaks. Walnut is generally straight-grained, but sometimes with wavy or curly grain that produces an attractive and decorative figure. Walnut works easily with hand and machine tools, and nails, screws and glues well. It holds paint and stain very well for an exceptional finish and is readily polished. Our Premium Walnut comprises nearly 100% heartwood, showcasing a rich, dark walnut color of premium quality. Its construction and feel are incredibly luxurious, enhancing the overall premium experience.
