Exotic Hardwood Kitchen Countertops

31 October 2006

Though stainless steel and granite countertops are very trendy right now, they’re not for everyone. If you want a little more warmth in the kitchen, you might consider wood counters. Even a wood island can add warmth amongst the surrounding granite.

We’ve talked about wood countertops before, but if you’re interested in something more unique than standard hardwoods, you might want to browse Aussiewood America or another site that specializes in exotic hardwoods. They import lumber from Australia, tree species that you’re not going to find at the local home improvement store. Examples include river redgum, jarrah, brushbox, rosewood, and Tasmanian blackwood. Even the names sound exotic, don’t they? The company custom-builds countertops up to 18 feet in length, 3 feet in width, and 1 1/2″ or 1 3/8″ in thickness.
