Mesquite Wood Island Countertop with Custom Granite Insert Hard Maple Wood Island Countertop with Integrated End Grain Chopping Block

Marble, Granite, or Wood Inserts in Custom Wood Countertops

Inserts can be added to your custom wood countertop for asthetic or functional purposes. An inset chopping block provides a specific work area and can be permanently built-in or may be removable. A granite or marble insert can serve as a built-in surface for rolling pie crusts, kneading bread dough, or other baking functions. Inserts can also be added to provide asthetic interest to your wood countertop.

Below you can find a sample of some inserts we have done in the past.
