Warm, natural, and works well with many designs.

For those who love the warmth of natural materials, butcher block countertops offer a classic, cozy look with durable functionality. Crafted from solid wood, this surface brings a rustic or refined feel to kitchens, bathrooms, and even workspaces—making it a versatile choice for any design style.

What is Butcher Block?

Butcher block is made by joining together strips of solid hardwood—like maple, oak, walnut, or cherry—into a smooth, durable surface. These wooden staves are bonded edge-to-edge to create a countertop that’s rich in texture, unique in character, and warm to the touch.

The beauty of butcher block lies in its organic appearance and handcrafted feel. Each piece has a distinct grain pattern, ensuring no two countertops are exactly the same.

  • ✅ Customizable: Choose from a wide range of wood species, edge styles, and finishes to match your space and aesthetic.
  • ✅ Food-Safe Finishes: Often treated with mineral oil or beeswax, butcher block is a safe and functional surface for meal prep.

Care & Maintenance

Butcher block countertops are built to last, but only with the proper care and maintenance. While they are extremely beautiful, it's important to note that they are generally higher maintenance than other surfaces. General care includes:

  • Wiping spills promptly with a damp cloth.
  • Reapply food-grade mineral oil or beeswax every few months to seal and hydrate the surface.
  • Avoid placing hot pots or pans directly on the wood to prevent heat damage.
  • Use a cutting board to protect the surface and extend its life.
