Butcher Block Countertop
from John Boos
 



Butcher block countertops are wonderful for cutting and chopping.




  • Usually made from rock maple for its tight grain, as well as oak and cherry, butcher block can also be made in mixed and exotic species.
  • Must be oiled regularly.
  • Clean easily; bacteria can be removed by rubbing a slice of lemon over the surface.
  • Fairly durable, butcher block may develop scratches that can be repaired by sanding.
  • Approximately $30 per square foot.
