Born on a plantation, Lyptus is one of the most beautiful and functional hardwoods to be introduced into the United States in many years. Rich reddish-brown hues suggest the elegance of Mahogany or Cherry but in a renewable natural resource. Phenomenal growth of these trees is constantly being monitored by technicians. Matching growth to harvest permits an endless supply.

Now, through an alliance between the WOOD WELDED Companies of Michigan Maple Block Co./Bally Block Co, and The Weyerhaeuser Co.; this lovely wood is being offered in Butcher Block. Wood Welded Lyptus can be fabricated into a wide variety of beautiful and functional products. The deep variegated tones of Lyptus are magnificent as kitchen counter tops, kitchen island tops, dining table tops, shelves and benches. The strength and hardness of Lyptus even makes it the perfect choice for stair treads.

What makes Lyptus even more appealing is the fact that Lyptus is an environmentally sensitive product. Grown on plantations, interspersed with indigenous species to preserve the native ecosystem the trees are farmed in a renewable fashion. The seedlings are planted, allowed to mature and then cut. The trees then re-sprout from the stump and are allowed to mature again for harvest. This process is repeated up to five times. This reduces greatly the pressure on the worlds rainforests.

Michigan Maple Block Co. and Bally Block Co. have always been good stewards of the forest. The addition of Lyptus to our product line is a natural extension of that stewardship.
