Asked by Anne April 15, 20212
AnswersYes. Undermount sinks work excellent with this wood. The color is the same throughout the wood. This will look great.

Asked by DC March 16, 20211
AnswerDC-The thermally modified makes an excellent countertop. It will not absorb water and is very dimensionally stable. It should not crack but if you plan on machining/cutting make sure to use a sharp blade. Another fun aspect is this wood is the same color throughout. So if you cut out a sink the interior of the wood will match the surface.
What's the difference between the two types: "island" vs. "standard"?

Asked by UWBadger January 13, 20211
AnswerThe actual dimensions are 74" or 6 ft. 2 in.
What is the finish used in the sample pictures?
Asked by Justin September 5, 20201
AnswerJustin-we used a Zar walnut stain.
Sample?
Asked by JkOrlando July 18, 20201
AnswerSorry we do not send out samples. This is ready to install. Some people prefer to treat these with an poly or an oil but this wood has a been thermally modified so there is no need to do anything if you wish.
Does this thermally modified counter top come in other colors/species?
Asked by jsf April 29, 20201
AnswerWe only sell this in ash. It is a challenge to come up with the right formula, species, dimensions, timing. It is a super interesting process. We take this ash and put into a chamber. Then we suck all the oxygen out of the chamber and slowly heat the wood to above its ignition point (400+ degrees). Then over the next 40-hours slowly drop the temp. The cell structure of the wood changes and the moisture content is dropped to 2-4%. Now you left with a very stable piece of wood that won't take on water or any other element.
is the image stained just plain polyurethane?
Asked by mike April 7, 20201
AnswerMike-yes we just did a clear poly over the top. 3 coats of clear. Looks awesome
What type of finish was used in the finished vs unfinished picture? Was it a clear finish or a st...
Asked by CTL December 6, 20192
AnswersI just installed this in my kitchen, I used pure tung oil (no stain) and it turned out pretty much like the "finished" picture. Tung is a natural oil finish, no stain, I would say the color is dark brown similar to walnut, with a mix of dark reddish-brown similar to mahogany.

Purchased this butcher block to top an UpLift adjustable height desk stand. To stain and finish the piece, I purchased two products from Home Depot's line of Hardwood Reflections Butcher Block stains and finishes: Dark Walnut Gel Stain and Satin Topcoat.
The butcher block arrived in great condition. Beautiful, heavy, well-crafted piece. A table top of similar quality from UpLift would have been 3x to 4x as expensive. I would highly recommend purchasing HD's gel stains--mentioned above--if you plan on finishing the block. The stains come in a variety of finishes.
You can see the progression of raw to stain to finish in the attached photos. The block took the stain and the finish perfectly. Surprisingly, I only ended up using one coat of stain. For the satin topcoat, I rubbed on 4 coats, sanding with very fine sand paper in between coats (no sanding after final coat).
The final picture I've attached shows my actual workplace setup, tough to see with the sunlight but that's after a couple months of heavy use. Looks the same as the day I finished it.
As far as desk size, I use it with a dual monitor setup with keyboard and mouse. It's enough room for me.
Could not be happier with how the quality and look of the piece. I've seen others use this butcher block in the kitchen. Don't overlook it for the office as well...worked out great for me.

Matches description perfectly, great wood. Good quality. Very minimal sanding after using mineral oil to protect the wood. Basically just lightly sanded by hand with 400 grit between 3 coats, and then finished it with a light sanding at 800 grit. Smooth as glass and the color using just mineral oil is fantastic.

The wood is fantastic. It looks great, was packaged well and matches the description exactly.
I have not stained it, but simply applied multiple coats of mineral oil, which revealed a very deep and rich color in the wood. I would highly recommend keeping this block natural and not using any type of stain or color added to it.

Product was very well packaged and nearly flawless (Straight edges, square corners and well sanded). Finished with oil and it is absolutely stunning! I was very impressed and would highly recommend this product (and already have)!
