Hardtwood
Knotty Alder Face Grain Wood Countertops
Our Knotty Alder face grain countertops bring a relaxed, rustic warmth to any space. Known for its natural knots, soft grain movement, and welcoming golden-brown tone, Knotty Alder offers an approachable hardwood look that feels organic and full of personality. Its gentle grain and natural character make it ideal for interiors that lean farmhouse, cottage, coastal, industrial, or eclectic.
Each countertop is handcrafted in our New York workshop and custom-built to your exact dimensions and layout. The face grain orientation highlights Alder’s subtle grain flow and knot variations, creating a surface with texture, warmth, and visual charm. This makes Knotty Alder countertops an excellent choice for home kitchens, vanities, bar tops, boutique retail counters, and casual commercial environments seeking a hardwood surface that feels both authentic and inviting.
Soft in appearance but dependable in performance, a Knotty Alder face grain countertop brings natural beauty and rustic personality to any residential or commercial setting.
