Butcher Block Wood - Complements Nearly Every Decor

Butcher block wood cutting boards are durable cutting surfaces made of blocks of wood, glued either end-grain or edge-grain, to prevent warping and cracking.

They are available in many thicknesses, sizes, and shapes, and they provide a work surface that can't be harmed and, in turn, won't harm expensive cutlery.

Butcher blocks were first produced in the 1880's when manufacturers 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, wood butcher block cutting surfaces have now become the standard in home kitchens everywhere.
