4 Popular Self-Build Wood Worktops Compared

Fitting wood worktops in a Self-Build project is very popular these days. Because self-builders create their home themselves and fitting wood worktops requires little experience and could be done on a tight budget, the two match perfectly. Here are the 4 most popular woods used by self-builders and their wood properties.
Oak Wood:
Oak is a type of tree which is extremely popular for the construction of many self-build structures and furniture. The wood which is abundantly available enjoys very attractive grain markings, great strength and hardness. These properties together with an attractive price tag make the wood popular for wood construction, timber frame buildings, hardwood flooring and wood worktops. As a worktop, oak is positioned as a basic to medium entry level worktop.
Walnut Wood:
Walnut wood originates from a family of over 21 species of walnut trees found throughout. Walnut timber is extremely hard, dense and friendly to work with, properties which make it popular with self-builders. Over time, walnut wood becomes a rich chocolate-brown colour which means it does not fit to everyone's taste. Because there are many types of species within this family of trees, walnut is positioned as a medium to high end level worktop depending on the precise wood.
Mahogany Wood:
Mahogany is used to describe numerous varieties of dark-coloured hardwood. The reddish-brown colour wood enjoys a straight grain and is usually free of voids and pockets. It is used in a variety of ways from the construction of flooring, worktops and other types of furniture to musical instrument construction. As a worktop, mahogany is positioned as a basic to medium level entry worktop, but still cheaper than many non-wood worktops.
Beech Wood:
Sourced from a beech tree, it is an extremely strong wood which is used in the construction of flooring, worktops, chairs and other types of wood furniture. Beech is considered an excellent value for money wood which makes it popular mostly as a worktop. Beech worktop is positioned as a basic entry level worktop which contributes to its popularity amongst self-builders.
