Build Your Kitchen Around the Classic Warmth of a Butcher Block Countertop!
Vangura offers four types of butcher block materials all derived from North American hardwood: Rock Maple, Black Walnut, American Cherry and Appalachian Red Oak. The company sources the wood it uses only from forests that are managed in a sustainable fashion so that we may meet today’s demands while ensuring adequate natural resources are available for future generations.
Hard Rock Maple
– the hardest of the four woods – is the most popular. Maple’s neutral color scheme is another advantage; its light tans and browns complement almost any kitchen’s décor.
Walnut
is steadily gaining ground on Maple, despite its priciness, due to its appealing mix of tans, creams and browns that range from medium to dark chocolate.
American Cherry
features pink to reddish-brown hues with pale yellowish streaks. It starts out a bit pale or pinkish, but patinas (darkens) over time.
Red Oak
shows off bolder shades of browns than does Maple, plus touches of gold, pink and amber.
