Why Choose Butcher Block?

“Butcher-block countertops will always look good. They may not be the style raved about by interior designers each and every year, but they will never be a source of designer or homeowner regret, either. Which really is saying something. Most kitchen style trends come and go—and sometimes when they go, they go out hard. Ah, but the butcher block! Whether used as the wood countertop covering all of your kitchen’s working space, only as the surface of your kitchen’s island, or merely as a large butcher-block cutting board into your kitchen tableau, the addition of this functional and handsome material always enhances the look of any home’s most-used room.” - Architectural Digest, August 2023 Article.

Butcher Block is a true and true option that looks beautiful. As the AD article eloquently put it, always looks good. Due to wood being a renewable material, repairs are easy! And you will be left with a slab that looks new after the repair. Our shop has many colour and grain options to make your vision come to life. Another bonus is that butcher block is much more cost-effective initially and in the long run. Your counter can last you decades with proper care. You might be thinking though, ‘What even is Butcher Block?’ No need to Google that question!

Butcher block is made by gluing thick strips of strong hardwoods together to form a surface that can stand up to everyday use in your kitchen. In fact, it was originally created for—you guessed it—use by professional butchers. If you think you’re unacquainted with butcher block, know that you have probably seen and even used it before, albeit without even knowing it. That’s because many cutting boards are made in the same manner as the larger slabs of butcher block used for islands and countertops.
