We installed this backsplash behind a butcher block countertop. I stacked two backslashes with a 1/4 inch spacer between them, then screwed the whole assembly to the back of the counter. The backsplash can be used as a knife block now, with longer blades protruding down behind the drawers. I am very, very happy with the entire job-- the wood is beautiful, the construction is good, there was minimal preparation needed before finishing, and although the woods were different colors out of the box, they are darkening to a consistent cherry red with exposure to sunlight.

We used this in our own home and was very pleased.
We also purchased the butcher block counter as well. There are some areas that need filler but has a great appearance.

As a cherry butcher block, I would expect tightly glued cherry strips. Filler was used all over the butcher block between strips.

We had help installing, but it was fairly easy. The product is wonderful! The cost is unbeatable. It has a nice thick, solid look and it can be darkend with dark tung oil. Very classy and/or modern. We love it!!

Recommend poly finish for looks. Keep the sink cut out for a cutting board- oil the cutting board, do not finish it.

Q:
What finish would you recommend for the counter top? I would not use the counter top as a cutting surface so can I use an acrylic finish? If I just seal it with oil will it be water proof? Can you set the sink in under the counter like you can with a laminate or solid surface counter top?1 answer
A:
Interestingly, products used to seal and protect Butcher's block counter tops are divided into two simple categories. Top coatings or penetrating sealers. Ultimately, the choice of which products to use depends greatly on the intended use of your counter top. Top coatings such as urethanes or varnishes are more for decorative table top aesthetics. Penetrating sealers such as Tung nut oil, linseed or mineral oils actually seep into wood cells preserving and condition it. Penetrating sealers offer more versatile usage of Butcher's block counter tops allowing for safe food FDA type preparation, easy repairs and can be buffed to a gloss with a build up of 5 or more layers. Do not use vegetable oils as they break down becoming rancid.Q:
can the 4 ft x 8 ft block be cut down to a different size? i need a bow front going from 25 inches to a peak of 36 inches in the center and 6 ft wide. is this possible?1 answer
A:
This is an 4 inch tall x 8 foot long "backsplash". So no it could not.Q:
Can this product be cut to fit over exisiting laminate countertops?1 answer
A:
Yes it could but you may need to trim out under the edge to cover the old counter top.Q:
I am looking for a 60in wide by 36in deep butcher block top. Do you sell any this size? If not where would you suggest looking? Thanks.1 answer
A:
Our butcher block tops are 1 1/2 x 25 x8 or 12ft...you can connect 2 pieces to be deeper. I am not certain where you can puchase other than the big box stores.
