Apr 8, 2022 · The wood in butcher block countertops can be nearly anything, including bamboo, zebrawood, and red oak. Maple is one of the most popular wood types for these countertops, as it has a hard, solid surface and boasts a clear grain. If you prefer richer hues, cherry and red oak are popular picks. You can also buy butcher block countertops made of ...

Jul 10, 2019 · We recently renovated our outdated kitchen, which included replacing a tile counter top with butcher block and installing a new single-bowl sink. This may seem like a daunting task, but if you have moderate DIY experience, you can do it yourself. This is what the kitchen looked like before we began. We demoed the tile and removed the sink and plywood to reveal an open counter space. After ...

Butcher block is relatively inexpensive compared to many other kitchen counter surfaces, with laminate being the obvious choice as a cheaper alternative. Our existing counters were a textured laminate made to look like stone. It had pulled away and broken off at the corners, in the process tearing holes in my clothing that caught on the corners! De...
Let’s start with the bad news first. My top concerns with butcher block were staining, scratching, and water damage. I tried my best to impartially consider these issues, though my heart was saying, “DO IT! DO IT!” Pinot noir is my drink of choice, and I love to let homemade sauces and soups simmer on the stove. Blueberries? They’re my daughter’s f...
Ikea has fairly inexpensive butcher block that seems to be well loved by those who use it, according to some Internet sleuthing. But because I needed two 12′ lengths and one 8′ length, and the nearest IKEA to my home is 1 1/2 hours away, it wasn’t really feasible for me to transport butcher block from Pittsburgh to Canton. Driving 10 minutes home f...
Because we were working with very expensive (comparatively) wood, we wanted to practice as much as possible along the way. My dad very graciously led the way, because he’s very experienced with all things woodworking related, and I was very, very nervous about making an expensive mistake. We used Masonite to practice our cuts and also to use as tem...
We used the scrap pieces of butcher block to practice the miter joinery. To join the corners, we used these handy little tools called tite joint fasteners. They need to be recessed into the wood; then you slip them into the space and use a little metal tool to twist the ball and tighten the joint. You can see this process a few images down. To make...
Because the end grain of wood is so absorbent, wood glue isn’t the best choice of adhesive for this project. Gorilla Glue sets up rather quickly and is a great industrial strength adhesive for countertop joints. To activate the glue, the manufacturer recommends wetting the area to be glued first. We did this with a sponge. Then we quickly spread gl...
This process was a little bit different for me than it will be for you, but I’m guessing you don’t have a round butterfly sink, eh? Usually double-basin undermount sinks have just one hole in the counter, so the subset (dividing area between sinks) is not covered by the countertop. I wanted my subset to be covered by the countertop, though, because...
Right before cutting the sink holes, we realized that we had put a tite joint fastener too close to the sink hole opening, meaning there was a routered hole right where the edge of the sink hole should be. We had planned for where to place the fasteners, making sure there would be plenty of space around them for the sink holes, but somewhere along ...
Because of the great recommendations I found on woodworking forums around the Internet, I settled on Waterlox as my wood sealer. Waterlox is a food-safe tung oil that penetrates the wood for extra protection. Because it soaks into the wood, you need to use a few coats for extra protection. I couldn’t find Waterlox at our local Lowe’s or Home Depot,...
Before sliding the counter into place, we used staplesto attach a piece of aluminum sheet metal to the underside of the counter where the dishwasher is. This will deflect steam from the dishwasher, preventing warping of the counter or water damage to the wood. Lastly, we drilled a hole for the faucet with a spade drill bit, placed the counter onto ...

Measuring and Cutting Your Butcher Block Countertop. After measuring your sink, you’ll want to cut and sand your butcher block to your desired length. If your countertop is 10’ or longer, we find the sink to be a great place to make the connection of two butcher block countertop pieces. We cut our butcher block using a circular saw.
Sep 10, 2024 · A thin 3/4-inch thick butcher block countertop in maple wood accents a kitchen island in this transitional cooking space by Canada based Lynn Donaldson Interior Design. Adding another layer of visual interest to the white room is the wall covered with lantern tile punctuated with gray grout. Continue to 15 of 16 below.
Traditional vanity heights in older homes range from 30 to 32 inches up from the floor. The modern trend is toward higher vanities, up to around 36 inches. You have a few options for countertop widths with the Hardwood Reflections butcher block. Our regular countertop width is 25” and the “island” countertop size is 39” so depending on ...
