Shop now at Minimaal en Mooi and explore our premium selection of wood for custom countertops. From Oak to Beechwood, find the perfect material for your project with shipping available. Order online today! About Our Wood At Minimaal en Mooi Houtwerke, we take pride in using authentic wood sourced both locally and globally. With a selection of twenty distinct wood species, we have options to match every style, taste, and budget. We believe in the unparalleled beauty and durability of solid wood, so we never use engineered substitutes. When you choose our products, you’re investing in genuine, high-quality wood that will stand the test of time. The color and grain patterns of wood significantly influence the ambiance of your space. To help you make the best choice, we offer wood and finish samples, allowing you to see and feel the wood in person before making a decision. By comparing multiple options, you can confidently select the perfect wood for your project. Each piece of wood is unique, with variations in color and grain pattern even within the same species. This natural diversity is part of what makes wood so beautiful. We strongly recommend ordering samples to get an accurate sense of our current inventory and envision how your finished piece will look. Understanding the Characteristics of Wood At Minimaal en Mooi Houtwerke, we celebrate the natural beauty and diversity of wood. By understanding these characteristics, you can make informed choices that best suit your style and functional needs. Grain Pattern Each wood species we use has its own distinctive grain pattern, akin to the unique fingerprint of a tree. Some woods feature straight, regular grains, while others exhibit knotty, intricate patterns. Certain species, like Zebrawood, boast dramatic and eye-catching grain patterns that add a unique flair to your space. Shrinking & Expanding Wood is a natural material that responds to changes in humidity. Most wood species will slightly shrink or swell with seasonal changes. To mitigate this, we use high-quality finishes that help maintain the wood's dimensional stability, ensuring your furniture retains its form and beauty throughout the year. Hardness The Janka hardness scale measures the resistance of wood to denting and wear by determining the force required to embed a small metal ball halfway into the wood. Hardness varies among wood species, even within the "hardwoods" category. This characteristic is especially important for surfaces that endure heavy use, such as countertops, or in commercial applications where durability is paramount. Density Each wood species has its own density and weight characteristics. For example, Western Red Cedar is known for its lower density, making it an excellent choice for large doors due to its lighter weight. Understanding the density of wood helps us select the best material for your specific needs, balancing strength and functionality. Uniqueness Every tree is unique, leading to natural variations in color and grain pattern within the same species. This uniqueness ensures that each piece of wood used in our projects is one-of-a-kind, adding an element of individuality and charm to your custom woodworking piece.

Face-Grain Wooden Countertops Welcome to our guide on face-grain wooden countertops—a perfect blend of natural beauty, affordability and practical durability. 10 Things you need to know before buying face grain wooden countertops 01 What exactly is a face-grain countertop? When you choose a face-grain countertop, you're opting for a design where wide wooden planks are joined with the grain facing upward. This highlights the natural beauty and unique patterns of the wood, creating a stunning, organic feel for your kitchen. It’s an excellent option if you're looking for something that feels both rustic and luxurious. 03 How durable are face-grain countertops? While face-grain countertops look stunning, they are slightly less durable than other options, like edge or end grain. This means they might dent or scratch more easily with heavy use. If you're not planning to use the countertop as a chopping board or for intense wear-and-tear, you'll find face grain a beautiful and functional choice. I’d recommend placing cutting boards in high-use areas to prevent any damage. 05 Which wood species work best for face-grain countertops? When it comes to face-grain construction, some woods work particularly well. My top recommendations are oak, walnut, cherry, and maple. Each of these species has unique grain patterns and tones. For example, walnut offers rich, deep colors, while maple provides a lighter, more neutral look. This allows you to customize the countertop’s appearance to your taste. 07 What kind of maintenance does a face-grain countertop require? I always tell my clients that regular maintenance is key to keeping their countertops looking fresh. Face-grain countertops require periodic oiling to prevent drying out and warping. With time, if scratches appear, you can simply sand them down and refinish the surface. It’s a relatively simple upkeep process that will ensure your countertop stays beautiful for years. 09 What kind of visual impact can I expect from a face-grain countertop? Visually, face-grain countertops offer a lot of personality. The wide planks of wood allow the natural grain patterns to take center stage, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in your kitchen. The unique patterns in each plank mean no two countertops are exactly alike, which adds a level of authenticity and character to your space. 02 Why is face-grain construction a good choice for countertops? Face grain is particularly popular for its aesthetic appeal. It brings warmth, depth, and character to any space. If you want a countertop that becomes the focal point of your kitchen, face-grain is an excellent choice because it showcases the distinct grain patterns of wood species like oak, walnut, cherry, and maple. It’s a choice that transforms a kitchen into a visually striking space. 04 How do I keep my face-grain countertop looking its best? Face-grain countertops need a bit of love and care to maintain their beauty. I always advise regular oiling and sealing to protect them from moisture and general wear. The great news is that with proper maintenance, they’ll last a long time, and any scratches or dents that occur can often be sanded down and refinished. 06 Will a face-grain countertop warp or crack over time? This is a common concern. Face-grain countertops can be prone to warping or cracking if they’re not sealed and maintained properly, especially in areas around sinks or where there’s constant exposure to moisture. However, by sealing and oiling the surface regularly, you can prevent this. If moisture is a concern, I’ll help you choose a proper sealant to protect your countertop from damage. 08 How does face-grain compare to other countertop options in terms of cost? Face-grain countertops are generally more affordable than edge or end grain, making them an excellent option for clients who want high-quality wood at a lower price point. You get the aesthetic beauty of natural wood at a price that won’t break the bank, but the trade-off is that it requires a bit more care to stay looking its best. 10 Is a face-grain countertop right for my home? If you’re someone who loves the idea of a beautiful, natural wood countertop and you're willing to invest in regular maintenance, a face-grain countertop can be an excellent choice. It offers a stunning balance of beauty and affordability. While it requires a little more care than other options, the visual appeal and warmth it brings to a kitchen make it worth the effort for many homeowners.

- Edge-Grain Wooden Countertops For Kitchens and Bath | Minimaal en Mooi
Shop now for durable and elegant edge grain wooden countertops at Minimaal en Mooi. Perfect for a refined look and lasting strength. Order online! Edge-Grain Wooden Countertops Welcome to our guide on edge-grain wooden countertops—the perfect combination of strength, durability, and timeless linear beauty. 10 Things you need to know before buying Edge grain wooden countertops 01 What is an edge-grain countertop? Edge-grain countertops are made by gluing together thin, narrow strips of wood with the edge of the grain facing upward. This creates a surface that’s more uniform in appearance compared to face-grain but still showcases the natural beauty of the wood. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a balance between durability and aesthetics. 03 How durable is an edge-grain countertop? Edge-grain construction is significantly more durable than face grain. It resists scratches, dents, and wear much better, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like kitchen islands or workstations. You’ll find that this construction holds up well over time, even with regular use. 05 Which wood species are best for edge-grain countertops? Oak, maple, walnut, and cherry are popular choices for edge-grain countertops. Each wood species offers different tones and grain patterns, but the construction technique gives the countertop a more consistent look. For clients who want both beauty and strength, these hardwoods are the best options. 07 What kind of maintenance does an edge-grain countertop require? Edge-grain countertops are lower maintenance than face-grain but still need regular oiling and occasional refinishing. The good news is that this type of countertop is more resistant to scratches and dents, so you won’t need to worry about frequent touch-ups. 09 How does edge-grain affect the appearance of the countertop? Edge grain provides a clean, consistent look, with long, straight grain lines running the length of the countertop. This gives your kitchen a modern, streamlined appearance while still showing off the natural beauty of the wood. If you’re aiming for a contemporary design, edge grain fits right in. 02 Why should I choose edge-grain for my countertop? Edge grain offers a sleek, linear look, which works beautifully in modern and minimalist kitchens. It’s also more durable than face-grain because the wood’s fibers are oriented vertically, making it better suited for heavy use. If you want a countertop that handles daily wear while still looking elegant, edge-grain is the way to go. 04 How do I care for an edge-grain countertop? Like all wood countertops, edge-grain needs regular maintenance, but it’s relatively simple. Regular oiling and sealing will keep it looking its best while protecting the wood from moisture and wear. I always recommend wiping up spills quickly and avoiding direct cutting on the surface to maintain its longevity. 06 Will an edge-grain countertop warp or crack over time? Edge grain is more stable than face grain, making it less likely to warp or crack. That said, like any wooden surface, it still needs to be sealed and maintained, especially in high-moisture areas. If you take care of it properly, you’ll avoid issues like warping or cracking down the line. 08 How does the cost of edge-grain countertops compare? Edge-grain countertops are typically more expensive than face grain but less costly than end grain. You get more durability for the price, making it a great middle-ground option. It’s an investment, but the long-term durability and lower maintenance make it worth the extra cost for many homeowners. 10 Is an edge-grain countertop right for my home? If you want a countertop that’s highly durable, can withstand daily use, and still looks great, edge grain is a fantastic option. It’s perfect for busy kitchens where practicality and aesthetics need to go hand in hand. While it does require maintenance, the payoff is a countertop that will serve you well for years.

We have 3 different styles of butcher block & wooden countertops available for kitchens & bathrooms Edge Grain Butcher Block Countertops In edge grain countertop construction, the wood strips are arranged side by side , then grafted together using premium quality water-resistant glue, these strips can run the full length of the wood countertop or it can be made with varying lengths of wood (blended). Con's: Edge grain tops, are very good for chopping and food prep, however they will show signs of knife marks and wear over time quicker than end grain tops. Pro's: The main advantage of this type of countertop construction is that it can be made very thick and also very long when compared to face grain/wide plank countertops which are limited to the thickness of the boards used to make it. Usually, this type of construction is in the middle price point of the three options. SHOP End Grain Butcher Block Countertops End grain wood countertops are the most durable and also the most expensive countertops, and are made using the end pieces of the wood, this vertical orientation is what makes end grain butcher blocks so gentle on fine knives. Con's: The most expensive and they require regular oiling, more effort to maintain properly and can look dull faster than any other type of construction. Pro's: However they don't easily show scratches and add a unique feature in the kitchen, they have a beautiful checkerboard pattern and can be made in any thickness and any length. The chef's choice for kitchen surfaces, as they are the easiest on your knives, they keep your knives sharper for longer and act like those self-healing cutting boards that artists use. SHOP Wide Plank Countertops (Face Grain) In face grain countertop construction, wide boards are joined edge to edge, showcasing the wood's natural grain patterns on the surface. This method highlights the unique ovals and swirls inherent in the wood. Con's: Face grain countertops are less suitable for heavy chopping or cutting tasks, as they can show knife marks more readily and may dull blades faster than other grain orientations. Pro's: This construction style offers an elegant and visually appealing surface, making it ideal for areas where aesthetics are prioritized over direct food preparation. However, face grain countertops are limited in thickness, typically up to 44mm, due to the constraints of the board dimensions used. Usually, this type of construction is the cheapest of the three options. SHOP All of our wooden countertop & Butcher Block designs have the option for a sink cutout, stove cutout, power outlet cutouts, built in pot stands, angled corner cut, matched wood backsplash, waterfall ends and a variety of edge details to choose from for the perfect kitchen or bathroom look.

End-grain countertops are the most durable option available. They handle heavy chopping, cutting, and daily wear better than any other grain construction. The vertical grain allows knives to penetrate without dulling quickly and without causing deep, permanent cuts in the wood. If you want durability, end grain is unmatched. 02 Why should I choose end-grain construction? End grain is incredibly durable because the wood fibers are positioned vertically, allowing them to absorb impact better than face or edge grain. This makes it ideal for high-traffic areas and kitchens where cutting directly on the surface is common. It’s not just a countertop—it’s a workhorse that’s built to last. 04 What kind of maintenance does an end-grain countertop require? Like all wood countertops, end grain needs regular maintenance, but because of its thickness and durability, it can withstand more wear before showing signs of use. Regular oiling and sealing are essential to keep the wood protected from moisture and stains. With proper care, an end-grain countertop can last a lifetime, and any surface imperfections can be easily sanded down and refinished. 05 What are the best wood species for end-grain countertops? End-grain countertops can be made from many wood species, but I recommend hardwoods like maple, walnut, cherry, and oak for their strength and beautiful grain patterns. The choice of wood affects both durability and aesthetic, so selecting a species that complements your kitchen design is key. 07 How does an end-grain countertop hold up in wet areas, like around sinks? While end grain is tough, it’s still wood and can be affected by water if not properly sealed. Around wet areas, I recommend a high-quality marine grade sealant to prevent moisture from penetrating the wood. With proper sealing and care, an end-grain countertop will remain strong and beautiful even in moisture-prone areas. 09 What is the visual impact of an end-grain countertop? End grain creates a distinctive checkerboard or mosaic pattern, giving your countertop a textured, visually dynamic look. The blocks of wood highlight the natural beauty of the grain, and each countertop is unique. If you want a bold, artistic statement piece in your kitchen, end grain is the perfect option. 06 Will an end-grain countertop warp or crack over time? End-grain countertops are less prone to warping or cracking compared to face and edge-grain because of the direction of the wood fibers, when stacked vertically they are better at handling temperature and moisture changes. However, like any wood, they need to be sealed and maintained regularly to avoid any long-term issues. With proper care, warping or cracking should not be a concern. 08 How does the cost of an end-grain countertop compare to other types? End-grain countertops are the most expensive of the three grain types—face, edge, and end—due to the labor-intensive construction process and the amount of wood required. However, the investment is worthwhile for those seeking a countertop that combines unmatched durability with a striking, one-of-a-kind appearance. 10 Is an end-grain countertop the right choice for my home? If you’re looking for a countertop that’s both beautiful and built for heavy use, end grain is an excellent choice. It’s perfect for anyone who enjoys cooking and wants a surface that can handle direct chopping without showing wear. While it’s an investment, the durability, functionality, and unique aesthetic make end-grain countertops a long-term solution for both professional and home kitchens.
