Spanish Cedar is often the wood of choice by many due to its distinctive fragrance. Our Spanish Cedar Plank Style Countertops are extremely stable, durable, and decay resistant. The heartwood of Spanish Cedar can range from pinkish to reddish brown and often darkens with age. The sapwood is white and may have a pinkish tint.
Spanish Cedar Plank Style Countertops are constructed by gluing Spanish Cedar wood boards side by side. The wood boards run the length of the countertop and are random widths between 3" and 6". The first and last wood boards of our Spanish Cedar Plank Countertops may be less than 3" wide. Our wood plank style countertops are face grain providing a traditional look that has always been popular. Although our Spanish Cedar Plank Style Countertops can be used for light food preparation when treated with a food safe mineral oil, they should not be used for cutting or chopping.

Finishing Choices
If your plank countertop will not be used for any food preparation, conversion varnish is the recommended choice.
Unfinished: All plank countertops must be sealed and finished. There are a variety of finishes on the market. Use a food grade mineral oil if you will be preparing food on your plank countertop. Otherwise, use a longer lasting finish such as a polyurethane. Follow the finish manufacturer's instructions. You can also stain, then finish, your plank countertop. Many stains are not food safe.
Conversion Varnish: We apply three coats of our 45 sheen, catalyzed, commercial grade conversion varnish to the top surface. Two coats are applied everywhere else, including underneath. Our conversion varnish contains acrylic for extra durability. The result is a semi-gloss finish that looks spectacular! This is not appropriate if the plank countertop may be used for food preparation.
Mineral Oil: We apply two coats of food grade mineral oil to all areas, including underneath. When you receive your plank countertop, you should apply one coat per day for a week to the top surface, sides, edges and any exposed areas underneath. After the seven coats, you should apply one coat per month to these same areas. This is appropriate if the plank countertop may be used for food preparation.
