Butcherblock Countertops

Have you considered butcherblock?

Butcherblock countertops bring elegance and warmth to any space. The natural characteristics of wood create a timeless option for any countertop surface or a contrasting island.

All of our butcherblock tops are locally sourced from Oregon and are either responsibly grown or salvaged wood from the Northwest, West coast or Rocky Mountains.

Finishes and Maintenance

Your butcherblock should be finished before installation. Due to the nature of wood you want to seal all exposed surfaces of the butcherblock so that you prevent warping or splitting down the road. We can provide installation instructions and tips if you are thinking of taking on a butcherblock top without an installer.

Myrtle Sidegrain

NATURAL OIL finished tops are food safe. You can cut on them like a cutting board if you choose but they will show the wear and need to be refinished more regularly.  Because wood is a natural, living material, it continually absorbs more oil, so regular re-oiling will be necessary to maintain its luster.  Re-oiling is simple -- just spread oil evenly over the surface, allow it to soak in for about 5 minutes then wipe the excess off with a clean rag.

MARINE GRADE finishes seal the wood making it waterproof.  For this reason, this finish is great around sinks but is not designed for cutting on (you don’t want to cut through the protective finish).  Marine Grade finished butcher block doesn’t require regular re-oiling but might need to be refinished down the road.

Clayhaus Ceramic Tile

Located in Portland, Oregon, Clayhaus tile is owned and operated by Jason and Megan Coleman. They ensure that their products are beautifully made of the highest hand-crafted quality, and with the smallest possible manufacturing footprint.

Clayhaus conserves resources by using 100% renewable energy to run their studio and production facility. The material they use to package their product is made of recycled corrugated paper and cornstarch “peanuts”. In the production of their tile they reuse clay and glaze whenever possible. They also recycle everything that they can which includes the seconds and usable broken tiles being donated to local school art programs.

                

                 

Clayhaus ceramic tiles come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. The tiles are hand cut and glazed for the highest quality. There are 48 glossy colors and 24 matte colors that you can view in our showroom or on their website, at clayhausceramics.com.

The Topo collection, which was designed specifically for Clayhaus by a local Portland designer, has a raised, topographical, pattern that repeats on each tile. These 6x6 tiles are available in all of the Clayhaus colors, matte and glossy.

The Futura Collection is more modern with simple shapes and styles that give a high-end look to any space. Futura tiles are available in any of the Clayhaus colors and come 3”x3” sheeted.

The Clayhaus website has a fun “You Design” tool to help you visualize different options and color blends. You can choose each color and the percentage of each color in the blend. They also have many different mosaic tile patterns to choose from to show your blend. It's a great way to instantly bring your idea to life!

Sustainable Lumber Company

Sustainable Lumber Co. offers handcrafted hardwoods from Montana. They specialize in recycled, reclaimed, salvaged and certified wood sourced within a hundred mile radius of their facility. Much of their salvaged wood comes from dead timber left from wild fires and insect infestation. Removal of the dead timber helps to prevent forest fires in the future. All of their wood fiber not used in their product lines is donated for animal bedding and/or used as clean biomass energy to heat their facility.

Douglas Fir Flooring

The Canyon collection is wire brushed and skip planed, producing a naturally aged appearance. The floor is finished with a 7-step finishing process including a hand rubbed penetrating oil and durable protective finish coat.

 

The Mountain collection is circle-sawn,  creating a worn Western look. This collection includes the same 7-step finishing process with hard rubbed natural oils.

The Vintage collection is hand scraped along with the 7-step finishing process. When they say “hand scraped” they are literally hand scraping the boards unlike many companies today who offer a hand scraped look, produced by a machine.

To complete their flooring collections they also offer matching base molding, casing, trims, transitions and stair treads and risers.

Reclaimed Pallet Wood WallPanels

Sustainable Lumber also offers reclaimed barn wood and recycled pallet board wall paneling. It is prefabricated onto ¼” thick plywood backing with a offset top and bottom, ship-lap design, to make it easy to install for a professional or the weekend warrior.

~ Panel size: 1" thick x 12" tall x 48" wide

~ Staggered and interlocking ends

~ Interior applications only

  

Beetle Kill Ponderosa Pine

Unlike most beetle kill pine on the market, Sustainable Lumber Co. hand selects their pine from old growth trees that are typically 200-400 years old and have been standing dead in the forest for 4 to 5 years.

Their beetle kill pine is available with the same finish styles as their Douglas fir flooring. They offer Canyon (wire brushed), Vintage (hand scraped), Mountain (circle-sawn) as well as finished smooth.

~3/4" thick

~Widths available: 3 1/8", 5 1/8", or 7"
