re: I'm trying to choose granite ... do you know what yours is? (update on page 4)

R2R, I've been thinking about butcher block, but I'm worried about it being too porous? Our kitchen is not huge by any means. Another concern I have with doing butcher block, is that we are running our hardwoods in to the kitchen and not doing tile. Would that be too much wood for a kitchen? Wouldn't we be better off going with some form of stone to break things up a bit?

I believe you can stain and seal it to make sure you're not harboring bacteria colonies. Not sure how well it guards against absorption vs. granite though. Would think not as much.

Personal taste I guess. If I knew I wanted butcher block I would intentionally do concrete or red brick floors. But if you're set on the hardwoods throughout you may want to consider something other than butcher block, unless you think a dark stained hardwood floor would contrast enough and look good to you. Up to your visual style.
