Butcher Block counter tops

14 years ago

Hi all!

I have a piece of butcher block I'd like to use for a countertop. Long story, but it's a temporary thing that might be there for awhile.

It is unfinished. Is there something I should treat it with or put on it to give it some stain resistance and durability? It's older and dry, so I know the 1st spill will stain it permenantly.

I'd also like to find where others recommend purchasing a permenant butcher block countertop? I love it and would like to find someone in the DC/Annapolis, Bethesda/Rockville area.

Thanks for the suggestions,

Christine

There is a lot of information on BB countertops on the Kitchens forum. Do a search over there & you'll find a wealth of info, including how to finish them & sources.
