Good wood product: Butcher block

by Patti Boker Elkon on December 10, 2009

I met and fell in love with the butcher block many years ago in my then boyfriend’s kitchen (now he’s my husband and I have the block in my home).  No, I didn’t marry him for his butcher block if that’s what you’re thinking.  The diversity of this product has proven itself three homes later, it is the focal point in my kitchen.

My new obsession is re-doing my counter tops in butcher block which I have found to be possible after researching the matter.  The butcher block shown above is a Boos block, a manufacturer that has been in business since 1887.  This quality item is worth its weight in gold.  I can do a counter top in the size that I need for under $1,000.00 with Boos.

There are many products big and small that allow a shopper to incorporate the look.  Here are a few of my finds.  Most of the products shown here can be found at thebutcherblocktop .com .
