Our Black Oak live edge countertops combine the dramatic depth of Black Oak with the sculptural movement of a hand-shaped natural edge. Black Oak is known for its rich brown coloration and expressive grain contrast, and when paired with a live edge profile, it creates a countertop that feels both modern and organically powerful.

Each countertop is handcrafted in our New York workshop and tailored to your exact dimensions and layout. The face of the top showcases Black Oak’s strong grain character and tonal variation, while the natural live edge preserves the original contour of the tree, adding warmth, texture, and distinctive handcrafted detail. This contrast between refined surface and organic edge gives the countertop a strong design presence ideal for bar tops, vanities, work surfaces, boutique retail counters, or residential installations seeking a bold hardwood focal point.

Striking, sculptural, and full of natural depth, a Black Oak live edge countertop delivers a premium hardwood aesthetic suited for both contemporary and rustic-modern spaces.

Usage

Our hardwood countertops are designed for kitchens, islands, bathroom vanities, commercial bars, restaurant counters, office workspaces, and custom installations.

Finish, Care & Maintenance

For cleaning, simply wipe with mild soap and water or a gentle all-purpose cleaner. Avoid extremely harsh or abrasive chemicals to preserve the wood’s natural appearance.

Red Oak

Red Oak is a durable American hardwood recognized for its warm color and pronounced, open grain. With a Janka hardness of about 1,290 lbf, it offers excellent strength and wear resistance while remaining highly workable. Its visible grain gives it a classic, timeless look often used in traditional interiors, but it also stains exceptionally well for modern or darker finishes. Red Oak’s combination of affordability, strength, and versatility makes it a reliable choice for countertops, shelving, and furniture in both residential and commercial spaces.
