Edge Grain Wood Countertops

An Edge Grain countertop is built by cutting wood boards into narrow strips, turning them on their side so the narrow edges face up, and gluing them together. This creates a striped surface with parallel lines that is strong and stable. Shows clean straight lines, resists warping and cracking when exposed to changing room temperatures and moisture. Is in the middle price range for wood countertops as it requires twice as much wood to build then a face grain top.
