Walnut End Grain Countertop Details
Walnut is a durable wood with a rich color that makes a stunning statement in any home. It can range from creamy white (sapwood) to dark brown (heartwood). The heartwood may contain various tints such as purple or red.
This Walnut countertop is made from 1 ½" square blocks with the end grain facing up. End grain butcher block is great for preserving your knives since the blade cuts between wood fibers rather than into the wood.
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.
Walnut Butcher Block Countertop Options
We offer various customization options to help you create your ideal countertop. First, choose a size for your butcher block. Then add other details like a finish, texture, and custom CNC cuts.
Sizing
We can make Walnut end grain butcher block countertops up to 4-1/2" thick, 48" wide and 120" long. Put your needed dimensions into the corresponding boxes above.
Finish
For best results, wooden countertops should be finished. We can finish your butcher block for you and offer food-safe materials like Mineral Oil. We also offer Acrylic Polyurethane Finish. If you choose to finish your countertop yourself, be sure to follow all directions in the Hardwood Lumber Company Countertop Finishing and Installation Guide.
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.
Edge Details
Edge details can enhance the appearance of your Walnut countertop. Choose a polished look such as bevel or ogee, or make it more rustic with a faux live edge. View all edge detail options and choose the one that’s right for you.
Cuts and Countertop Prepping
We make countertop installation easier with custom cuts and prepping. Specify the angle cut, prepping, and/or custom CNC cut you want. Please be prepared to upload a drawing of any custom designs.
Shipping Information

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.
Clear 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 clear walnut products are made with minimum sapwood.
