Butcher Block and Wood Countertops
A wood countertop brings warmth that stone cannot. We install butcher block in maple, oak, walnut and other species, finished with a food-safe oil or a hard sealer, with cutouts for sinks and cooktops. It suits islands, bakers' areas and farmhouse kitchens, and it can be sanded and refinished over the years.
