Oak + Walnut: contrast with cohesion
Bring two American classics together in one statement top. Our Butcher Block Nutty Oak — Original blends the ray-fleck figure of quarter-sawn White Oak with the flowing grain of quarter-sawn Walnut, creating a refined, high-contrast look that suits modern hospitality. Expect warm browns and golds with lighter khaki and off-white notes—lively enough to catch the eye, restrained enough for premium dining rooms. See how mixed-species builds read in real spaces in our project gallery.
Built for daily service
These are solid-wood commercial table tops in a narrow-stave butcher block pattern for stability and a crisp, consistent surface. We hand-sand to a smooth touch and seal every side with our durable commercial finish in a low-sheen matte—engineered for restaurants, easy to maintain, and resistant to everyday wear.

Design range, simplified upkeep
Nutty Oak gives you the flexibility to bridge light and dark finishes across a space—Walnut’s depth against Oak’s neutral warmth—so your restaurant table design feels intentional from bar to banquette. The quarter-sawn orientation keeps movement in check and preserves the distinctive figure under a protective, low-glare matte sheen. Day-to-day care is straightforward, and the surface is tough enough for high-traffic service while maintaining a polished, guest-ready look.
Plan the room
Coordinate these wood restaurant table tops with matching bar tops or larger seating zones using communal tables, and round out the package with our commercial table bases. If you decide a single-species palette fits better, pivot to the related Oak butcher block tabletops without changing the overall build quality or maintenance profile.
