I love the look of wood countertops but Im not a huge fan of the butcher block look, its too modern for my old farmhouse. When I found these counters at L.L. I knew I couldnt beat the price so I decided to purchase them and finish them my own way. First we rountered the edge, then I banged them up a bit, stained them, then sealed them with Waterlox sealer. They look so rich and really give the appearance that they have been there forever. People think we spent a fortune on them and I cant tell you how many compliments I have received since we installed them! They really make my kitchen!

We are turning a guest room into an office and we bought this 12' cherry butcherblock countertop to float on the wall as a desk. It looks amazing and after a few coats of stain it really stands out as the focal point. No visible supports, no legs - just 12' of counter floating there. It's perfect. And 1/2 the price of custom fabricators.

I really love this butcher block it is very pretty, we put tung oil on it and it looks great. The only problem we had was at the store they rapped it up and when we got home and carried it in and put it on our cabinets, we saw that it had been dropped on the corner it has a slight dent in it. We would of took it back but it weighs a couple of hundred pounds and it would have been a lot of work taking it back.

This butcher block is built the way things should be and it adds a warm touch to the kitchen. The cherry wood grain shows nicely when treated with mineral oil. I installed this in a rental unit for durability and the fact that I can sand it and treat with mineral oil between tenants. I trust that it will have more charm with age, but i would never cut directly on it.

We used the butcher block as a desk top for our home office. It came out so beautiful that we are considering using it again when we remodel our Kitchen.

USED FOR A BATHROOM VANITY WITH UNDERMOUNT SINK, LOOKS AWSOME! COUNTER HAD SOME SMALL VOIDS I HAD TO FILL,NO BIG DEAL. USED A STAIN TO EVEN OUT DIFFERENT SHADES OF WOOD, THEN FINISHED WITH 5 COATS OF WATERLOX - [...]- LOOKS AWSOME!

Better than expected after reading other reviews. The 12' counter top only weighs 150 lbs, so it can be a 1 man job with some care. The top I received did have some glue from rollers in one area on the finished side and had 3 very small holes that needed to be filled. I'm very happy with the counter top, there are no gaps between any of the boards and it's very flat. I made an island top that is 50" x 72" out of the counter, the materials alone would have been twice the price. Highly recommend!

I was excited when we purchased this, then we it was opened there was a gouge in the top and the wood was separating. We used wood putty to seal up the large separations and sanded down the gouge. The color online is darker than what the product is. I still think that butcher block is a great and smart alternative counter that is very affordable and obviously fixable. I just wanted the seams to be tighter then what I received. I would recommend it with a caveat of maintenance.

Comments about Williamsburg Butcher Block Co. 1 1/2" x 25" x12 lft American Cherry Butcher Block:

I was pretty disappointed once I got my counter home. The "good side" wasn't much better than the "bad side" lots of gaps filled with glue, and very noticeable. I kept it because the counter will be concealed when the cupboard doors are closed and the trip back to the store was too far.
I was going to use these for the rest of my counters but have changed my mind due to the quality

Only one side is able to be exposed and if it is marred, the usable surface is limited.

this is a very nice material. was easy to cut and install. looks great. the cherry really darkens with oiling and looks so nice with cream colored cabinets. we get so many compliments on it. my only complaint is that there were a few nicks that had to be routed out on the ends.

Product comes as bare wood. Used three coats of Waterlox as finish; no stain. Here are some before/after pictures.

This was an excellent buy. IT does need a 220 grit light sanding and two applications of mineral oil. I also use mineraal oil every two weeks - it makes it beautiful. This product will make you think twice about BOOS, I use to have Boos tops in my home and for 1/5th of the price this is just as good.

I absolutely love this butcher block. we used part of it for our island. we put a large piece by the stove. we use it everyday, it works great and looks great.
I wish there were more deep colored pieces within the butcher block. Otherwise perfection.

Comments about Williamsburg Butcher Block Co. 1 1/2" x 25" x12 lft American Cherry Butcher Block:

These butcher block countertops look great. I bought two sections - 8 foot and 12 foot. Had to joint the two at a 90 degree corner. Chose to do a 45 miter to join them together rather than but them together. Careful cutting resulted in a great joint. Used a "FastCap" flip bolt to joint the two pieces.

Sanded with 220 grit. Finished with 5 brushed coats of Waterlox - original, waiting 24 hours between coats with 400 grit sanding before the last coat - which was wiped on. Now they are as water resistant as possible without need to re-oil. No odor. Applied thick alum foil above dishwasher - adhered with Super77 spray adhesive - to protect from the steam.

Overall they look fantastic. Remember, though, cherry is hard and heavy. Long countertops are not a one man job. Also, one side is presentable, the other side is more of a "working" side - with knots and imperfect seems. Doesn't matter. Just don't plan on rotating in the future.

I used the product as countertop, all about that are very good.

I bought this 12' cherry butcher block to use as the countertop in my coffee shop. As listed above, it only had one "pretty side" but that's OK for a countertop. They did use some filler on the good side, and there are a few places where there are gaps between the jointed pieces. I had to do a lot of sanding, and round the edges. I put a couple of coats of tung oil on it to bring out the color, then covered that with oil-based polyurethane. Overall, now that it's finished, it's beautiful.

Beautiful countertops! My house is circa 1945. I wanted to keep the integrity of the kitchen and thought granite too modern...I recommend this option for all homes, especially older homes. Looks GREAT with painted cabinets!

Comments about Williamsburg Butcher Block Co. 1 1/2" x 25" x12 lft American Cherry Butcher Block:

I purchased several of these countertops in mid-August for a kitchen remodeling project which involved a large custom cabinetry order which was scheduled to be delivered the first week of October.I picked up the countertops (sealed in cardboard boxes) from the Braintree, MA store in mid-August, and stored the countertops in my spare room, laying flat on the floor stacked on top of one another.Due to a manufacturing delay, I did not receive the cabinets until early November.After the cabinets were installed, we opened the butcherblock countertops to start installing them, but the minute we opened the cardboard they were sealed in, we could see that the countertops were "cupped".That is, if you looked at the countertops from the side, they were slightly warped like a U -- such that if you installed the countertops, and put a marble in the middle of the countertop, the marble would either roll towards the wall or towards you.Clearly, this was unacceptable for my installation. [...].As another poster here indicated, when you take delivery of this product, make sure you immediately open the cardboard and inspect the product completely. I would also recommend you inspect the product for warpage by using a level or other straight-edge across the grain.

This was some very attractive counter top. It did require some finish sanding to get the smooth finish I wanted and the ends required re-cutting to be perfectly square. We looked at granite, corian, tile and laminate. For the price and look, i don't think this can be beat.

I planned to purchase butcher block counter tops from[@] because they were affordable. After measuring I discovered if I went with the [@] counters I would have seams in the middle of my bar since they only come in 8 foot lengths. We went with the cherry butcher block from Lumber liquidators since they offer 12 foot lengths and we are so happy with our decision. I can't believe the difference they made in our kitchen. I love, love, love my new counter tops!!We finished ours with Watco Butcher Block Oil. It's an easy wipe on application and brings out the rich beauty of the wood, offering a water resistant protective finish.

We used the butcher countertop throughout the kitchen and sealed it. Love it, by sealing it brought out the rich cherry colors.

We were able to do a cosmetic remodel very inexpensively that looks amazing! We installed it ourselves and it was easy to work with, but is very heavy. We just used a hand held circular saw and got very clean cuts. Check out the before and after pictures. We used Boos Mystery Oil on it.

Comments about Williamsburg Butcher Block Co. 1 1/2" x 25" x12 lft American Cherry Butcher Block:

The counter turned out great! We both really enjoy the look of aged cherry and in a few months this will darken perfectly! A simple application of Mineral Oil weekly for the first few months and it should be sealed sufficiently. Good product for the price, i would have had more money in just lumber than this entire piece cost! Will recommend to anyone wanting a classic looking kitchen!

We used this product for a non-expected use. it is being used as a desktop. a custom sized desk in a custom home office. it's very solid and sturdy and looks fabulous in our office plus was far cheaper than other more typical types of desk/counter products by more than half. We absolutely love it and everyone who has seen it loves it too!

The counter itself is beautiful but beware when you have it delivered. Which is really the only way because it is so large and heavy. Make sure that you open the box and carefully inspect to make sure that there is no damage.We had to work around damage and it was a pain.Do inspect before the delivery man is gone or you sign for counter!!! The contract says you have to do this before delivery person leaves. I would call the 800 number before signing.

This countertop is beautiful. I sanded and oiled it on all sides. I continue to use mineral oil on the exposed portions about once a month. Each time I oil the counters they get more beautiful. With oiling the cherry color comes through and darkens. I choose these during my kitchen remodel because of price but would install them again even if budget were not a consideration.

Should last for years, great to roll-out dough, much better than granite, price and utility. It is a kitchen after all. Use it and enjoy

I used this for my new countertop in my kitchen remodel. The price is unbeatable and the quality is very good. Be sure to seal it well, top, bottom and sides. My friend, the cabinet maker could not believe the price! A little DYI and your kitchen will look like a million bucks

This is a beautiful piece of cherry wood. It was not too difficult to install ourselves and it looks great in our kitchen. It was also very affordable. We do have to be careful about getting water on it and wiping up any spills immediately but it is nice that you can just sand out a spot and re-oil it. We used mineral oil and the color of the cherry came out beautiful. We were not able to find sink clips that were long enough so we had to have custom clips made.

The butcher block counter top is just as descibed. I put some butcher block oil on it and it shines so beautifully that I would buy it again and again.

This counter top looks fabulous in our kitchen. It gives it a designer look that is much warmer than Granite at less than a fourth of the price!

This beautiful piece of wood gave my 1940s era tile kitchen real punch! It's beautiful and I'll likely be using the Williamsburg butcher block again on my next project.
