re: Butcher Block Counter Tops

I do butcher block and wood countertops as part of my high end carpentry biz.

The ones from lowes or Hd are usually cheap wood, thin and soft. I have done customs up to 3 inches thick of solid wood.

A custom walnut/spalted maple, pecan or cherry end grain can be the show piece of your kitchen. I also like to mix these woods like a high end cutting board. You can dice the vegs on it without worry.

With high end woods all you need is mineral oil saturation and then polish out some bees wax on top; beautiful and safe for food. if not used for food prep, options for finishing are quite a few.
