Wood Species
In order to build the very best product we have chosen the most stable woods wherever possible as did our fellow craftsmen since colonial times. RRC offers seven (7) different wood species in our countertops.
The photos above are basic representations; color and grain will vary.
Finish Types
We offer two (2) distinctive Finish Types: WATERSHED and CENTURY OILED. Each finish has its own advantages, and both finishes are designed and engineered to optimize the beauty, integrity, and longevity of solid wood. Read more about these finishes in FACTORY TOUR / About Finishes.
Watershed Finish Colors
RRC provides a palette of twenty-seven (27) different finish color choices on seven different wood species for the Watershed Finish.
- Darker colors are typically on darker wood species, as we create color
primarily by means of glazes rather than stains.
- Certain species, such as Cherry, will darken (oxidize) over time on their own.
- RRC also will match custom finish colors for a nominal fee.

Finish Effects
RRC offers four (4) distinct Finish Effects (or styles) that impart additional character to your countertop. These Finish Effects are available on both the Watershed and Century Oiled finish types.
- SELECT countertops are crisp and clean. They smartly complement a contemporary style. Premium planks are chosen for this effect, with minimal natural defects such as pin knots and mineral streaks, creating the look of fine millwork. Our base pricing on countertops reflects this finish effect.
- HEIRLOOM countertops have the comfortable look of antique furniture. Planks are chosen for more interesting character with defects allowable. Light distressing is added for visual interest and to relieve the homeowner of the burden of being the first to make an "oops!" This finish effect is an upcharge to standard pricing.
- COUNTRY countertops are hand-planed. Executed in old-world tradition, they are first scorped and then smoothed to create the hand-hewn look of old barn beams. Perfect in a country cottage kitchen! This finish effect is an upcharge to standard pricing.
- PROVINCIAL countertops conjure images of a century of wear. Picture the way stair treads wear down over time with heavy use, or driftwood boards that have lost their sharp edges. Combine this with a light distressing and you have the Provincial effect. This finish effect is an upcharge to standard pricing.
