Bally Butcher Blocks - Still The Standard

Bally Butcher Blocks were first produced in the 1880's when the company's new owners realized laminated wood cutting surfaces were a solution to problems the meat cutting industry had had for years.

Easy to maintain and clean, durable and, if properly treated, not subject to warping or drying out, Bally Butcher Block cutting surfaces became the standard.

Today, Bally wood block products are found as countertops, home kitchen islands and kitchen carts, commercial food service work tables, gourmet products and cutting boards, as well as Butcher Block furniture.

Look for both the Michigan Maple Co. and the Bally Block Co. when researching kitchen design ideas; they're both subsidiaries of the same company.

Old Idea, Modern Designs - A Wise Combination

Designs for kitchen islands have a simple yet unique look to them as every butcher block is different.

Woods used by Bally include Northern Maple - the traditional material in a butcher block, White Ash, Red Oak, and Lyptus, a plantation-grown wood from South America.

Bally Block furniture is mostly finished natural, though some pieces have optional white bases, a nice idea for those whose kitchens are mostly white.

Finishes are either Durakryl, a proprietary inert film that is highly durable and non-reactive, or Mineral Oil, which is standard on all Bally cutting boards.

 Countertops, kitchen island tops or workbenches can be purchased with this finish as an option.

Cart designs by Bally Block for home kitchens commonly incorporate stainless steel for a very sturdy but modern appearance, but with a butcher block top, of course.

 Both kitchen islands and kitchen carts by Bally have designs with extra storage shelves, drawers, drop-leaf surfaces, and other options.

For food preparation, cooking, or serving, Bally butcher block products combine the best of modern and traditional kitchen design.
