Butcher block is manufactured under strict EU standards and derived, from solid blocks of finger-jointed and edge-glued birch staves. The wood is unfinished, so you can customize it with an oil finish or stain color to match your décor. Natural wood tones and a soft grain pattern give a simple but stylish feel to your kitchen, bar, den, or craft room. The allure of a pure wood product is that no two grain patterns, textures or colors are identical. Wood is affected by soil contents, climate, growth patterns and many other factors. These wonderfully unique features will ensure a one of a kind look for your remodel.
