Sink & Stove Cutouts

We CNC-cut sink and stove openings into your countertop before finishing, so every exposed edge is sealed against moisture. Add the cutout option ($150) to any countertop in the Builder, then send us your sink template or the manufacturer’s spec sheet after ordering.

Undermount, drop-in, and farmhouse styles are all supported. If your spec is unusual, request a quote and we’ll review it by hand.

Cut on our CNC, not by hand

Precision to your template

Every sink and stove opening is machined on our CNC directly from your template, not traced and jigsawed by hand. The profile, the corner radii, and any faucet or fixture holes land exactly where your spec puts them, accurate to a fraction of an inch.

Because the cut is driven by the file, a run of matching tops comes out identical piece to piece, which matters for multi-unit and commercial orders.

Sealed against moisture

We cut the opening before finishing, then seal every exposed inside edge with the same 100% VOC-free hardwax oil as the surface. That is where a hand-cut, unsealed opening usually fails: water wicks into the raw edge. Ours has nowhere to get in.

What we support

Undermount, drop-in & farmhouse

Undermount sinks get a clean, radiused opening with the wood edge sealed and exposed below the counter line. Drop-in (top-mount) sinks and cooktops get an opening sized to the manufacturer’s cutout dimensions. Apron / farmhouse sinks are supported with a front notch cut to your basin.

Send your template after ordering

Add the cutout option ($150) to any countertop in the Builder, then send us your sink template or the manufacturer’s spec sheet. We confirm exact size and placement with you before we cut, so nothing is left to guesswork.

Openings are programmed from your template and machined in-house for repeatable accuracy.

Something unusual?

Special requests welcome

Integrated drainboards, double cutouts, a workstation sink ledge, a stone-to-wood transition — if your spec is out of the ordinary, contact us and we’ll review your drawing by hand before you order, or request a quote and we’ll price the whole top.

Questions

Sink & Stove Cutout FAQ

Common questions about CNC-cut sink and stove openings in a solid hardwood top.

How much does a sink or stove cutout cost?
The cutout option is a flat $150 added in the Builder, which covers CNC-cutting the opening to your template and sealing the exposed edges before finishing. Unusual or multiple openings may be quoted by hand.
How accurate is the cut?
It is machined on our CNC directly from your sink or cooktop template, so the opening matches the manufacturer’s cutout dimensions to a fraction of an inch, including corner radii and faucet holes.
Do you support undermount and farmhouse sinks?
Yes. Undermount, drop-in (top-mount), and apron / farmhouse styles are all supported, along with cooktop and stove openings. Send the template or spec sheet and we confirm placement before cutting.
Will the cut edge hold up to water?
Yes. We cut before finishing and seal every exposed inside edge with the same 100% VOC-free hardwax oil as the surface, so water cannot wick into the opening the way it can on a hand-cut, unsealed edge.
When do you need my sink template?
After ordering. Add the cutout option in the Builder to reserve it, then send your template or the manufacturer’s spec sheet. We will not cut until size and placement are confirmed with you.
What if my layout is unusual?
Contact us with your drawing, or request a quote. We regularly handle integrated drainboards, double basins, and stone-to-wood transitions, and we review anything out of the ordinary by hand.
Do you take on custom or one-off projects?
Yes. Beyond the online builder, we take on custom sizes, oversized pieces, matched commercial runs, and bespoke solid-hardwood millwork. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll quote it by hand, usually within one business day. Start a custom project ›
