Blended Walnut Island Top by John Boos, 72 x 36, 1.5 Thick, Oil Finish

The John Boos Blended Walnut Kitchen Counter Top is a versatile and functional option that offers both aesthetic appeal and durability. Each counter top is crafted from top-grade American Black walnut, which has been sustainably harvested. The wood is finished with a food-safe penetrating oil, similar to the factory finish used on John Boos' world-renowned cutting boards and butcher blocks. This oil finish is absorbed into the wood fibers, providing water resistance and making spill clean-up easier.

To preserve the beauty and longevity of these countertops, John Boos recommends regular oiling (John Boos Mystery Oil is sold separately on Amazon). The countertops are constructed with full-length exterior rails and random finger-jointed interior rails, ensuring a sturdy and durable structure. During installation, it is important to note that any overhang of 8 inches or more (width) and 12 inches or more (length) must be stabilized with proper support.

These beautiful blended walnut countertops are proudly made in the USA by skilled craftspeople. The rich colors and textures of the wood are designed to complement and enhance any kitchen's style and decor. These highly functional countertops offer an easy-care alternative to granite or stone, making them an excellent choice for food preparation and cutting.

For those who prefer a sealed and finished surface, John Boos also offers Varnique versions of this countertop, which are available and sold separately. It is important to note that this is not a reversible countertop. The reverse side, which will be installed facing downwards, may occasionally feature slight irregularities, such as a small nick, in the wood. These minor imperfections are intentional and do not indicate a defect. They are a result of the brand's commitment to sustainability, ensuring that all parts of the wood are respected and utilized.

In conclusion, the John Boos Blended Walnut Kitchen Counter Top is a versatile and functional choice that combines aesthetic appeal, durability, and easy maintenance. Its rich, natural tones and thoughtful construction make it a valuable addition to any kitchen, enhancing both the functionality and the overall design of the space.
