Tulipwood panels and worktops cut to size!

• We manufacture Tulipwood worktops in our workshop in Codford, Wiltshire. From machining kiln-dried sawn American Poplar Tulipwood timber to creating beautiful full stave worktops, we have full control of the entire process.

• Solid Tulipwood worktops are supplied untreated with square edges and corners as standard.

• Our full stave worktops are constructed from wide planks of Tulipwood that run the full length of the worktop to ensure maximum durability and strength throughout years of constant use.

• Each stave is a random width but is generally between 120mm - 200mm wide.

• Tulipwood panels and worktops are sanded to a 120-grit finish.

• GG Joinery also offers bespoke wooden worktops cut to size, in both width and length.

• We can cut out the holes for the hobs and sinks. We can make edge profiles, like pencil edges, rounded edges, chamfered edges, and ogee edges.
