Edge-Grain Cherry Butcher Block Countertop - 1-1/2 Thick, 72L x 36W, Natural Oil

The Edge-Grain Cherry Butcher Block Countertops are crafted in the USA by John Boos & Co. These countertops feature American Cherry, renowned for its alluring pink to reddish-brown hues, as well as captivating streaks of pale yellow. Over time, the Cherry wood will gradually darken in appearance.

Constructed using the edge-grain method, these butcher block countertops are built with wood strips that run the full length of the surface, resulting in clean, parallel seam lines and no unsightly joints. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in thickness, 36 inches in width, and 72 inches in length, these countertops are finished with a food-safe natural oil, making them suitable for direct food preparation and cutting.

Cherry wood is prized for its unique color variations, ranging from a pale tone to a rich, reddish-brown. As the wood ages, it naturally darkens, adding depth and character to the overall aesthetic. The edge-grain design, where the wood strips run the full length of the countertop, creates a visually appealing and durable surface, with only parallel seams visible for a clean, refined look.

Finished with a food-safe natural oil, these countertops are well-suited for cutting and food preparation tasks. However, it is important to note that cutting directly into the surface may void the warranty. Additionally, for countertops 96 inches and longer, the full-length rails may not be included, as they can be challenging to construct at larger sizes.

Regular re-oiling of the countertop is required to maintain the surface's protective and food-safe qualities. This simple maintenance task will help ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the Edge-Grain Cherry Butcher Block Countertops.

In summary, these American-made butcher block countertops from John Boos & Co. offer a beautiful and functional solution for your kitchen or food preparation area. The natural beauty of the Cherry wood, combined with the edge-grain construction and food-safe oil finish, make these countertops a practical and visually appealing choice for discerning homeowners and culinary enthusiasts alike.
