A classic hardwood, we use the
finest boards in our butcher block countertops. Comes across as a
very warm mocha brown surface though it has ripples of darker burgundy
colors throughout. As hard and smooth grained as Eastern Maple.
It's always a "magic" moment in the shop when the first coat of oil
finish is applied and the beauty and color pop to life after hours and
hours of hand sanding to a smooth polish.
