Comments about Williamsburg Butcher Block Co. 1 1/2" x25" x 8 lft Maple Butcher Block Countertop:
Used two 8 footers to make desk tops with semi-custom office bases which are available from many companies. Stained and varnished (semi-gloss) to match bases and they are beautiful and sturdy. These are not just for kitchen counter tops.
Comments about Williamsburg Butcher Block Co. 1 1/2" x25" x 8 lft Maple Butcher Block Countertop:
I will never place raw meat or poultry on the butcher block counters. I will continue to use a cutting board for those tasks. I have no problem placing raw vegetables on the counter, now that it is well-sealed.
Due to having to have the product shipped from Virginia to Michigan, it took longer than I had planned to get the butcher block. It arrived well-protected and in excellent condition. Customer service to return the extra piece I ended up not needing was smooth and trouble-free.

This maple top was put together fairly nicely. I inspected my top prior to accepting it and found 1/8" to 3/16" voids in the end grain joints. I am a woodworker so I wasn't that put off by this but if you purchase the top expecting to cut it and install it on your cabinets...think again.

We turned this into a 50 x 48 inch butcher block table but cutting it in half and gluing the two pieces together. We use it as our kitchen table and workspace. It turned out great. We were very happy with the price and quality of the product and have already recommended it to others.

Comments about Williamsburg Butcher Block Co. 1 1/2" x25" x 8 lft Maple Butcher Block Countertop:
Used the butcher block as a countertop on kitchen island/bar to try it out. We are going to remodel our kitchen, so have been exploring top of the line countertops. Granite is very attrative but needs a lot of care: Must be sealed with toxic sealer every year and what happens if it cracks? It is also very expensive and what happens in 10 years when it is out of fashion? Big bucks down the drain, I think. Fashions change very quickly as we all know. I watch a lot of design shows and there are indications that butchblock is the next big thing in kitchens. Very attractive, easy to clean, easy to seal with tung oil, stain and heat resistant, easy to install, and you don't need a pro to do it. If it ends up scratched, just give it a light sanding. When we remodel we have decided we like the look of butcherblock well enough to install it everywhere.[...]
Comments about Williamsburg Butcher Block Co. 1 1/2" x25" x 8 lft Maple Butcher Block Countertop:
Great quality and very easy to work with.
I sealed mine first with a spar-varnish (I never intended to use this to prep food on). The Spar gave it a nice look, but was very soft and scratched easily.
So I sanded it all down again and used a hand rub poly that looks good and doesn't scratch so easily. I also added trim to the counter as well to give it a more finished look. Overall I am very happy with this purchase!

We had previously purchased the 12' unfinished maple butcher block, and it was great. This 8' unfinished one was very poorly made, with dings in the wood, wide seams in the wood, orange paste of some kind used in other seams. All in all of very poor quality
Comments about Williamsburg Butcher Block Co. 1 1/2" x25" x 8 lft Maple Butcher Block Countertop:
This is a great quality counter top at a fraction of what would cost through a kitchen design center. Very nice people to deal with and they were even open on the 4th of July. I would highly reccomend this product and i am buying more to redo all of the counter tops!!

Comments about Williamsburg Butcher Block Co. 1 1/2" x25" x 8 lft Maple Butcher Block Countertop:
I needed to replace a countertop in a well-preserved 60s style kitchen. The laminant countertop white with gold "sparks" was in ace condition and the island needed to be adjacent to wonderful birch cabinets. (Sometimes, a complete tear-out is just not in order.)
The butcher block island is perfectly placed and blends with the retro chique of our remodel. Functional to the MAX!!!

Comments about Williamsburg Butcher Block Co. 1 1/2" x25" x 8 lft Maple Butcher Block Countertop:
My new butcherblock countertop looks amazing on top of my grandmother's 1908 Hoosier cabinet. It will not be collecting dust, but used everday as if it were any other kitchen countertop. I fully expect it to last another 100 years.

Comments about Williamsburg Butcher Block Co. 1 1/2" x25" x 8 lft Maple Butcher Block Countertop:
I used the product at a clients house. She has a small kitchen and to save space she purchased two small refrigerators and we put the piece of Butcher Block across the top and is used as prep area and an area in between for eating. [...] Great quality.
Comments about Williamsburg Butcher Block Co. 1 1/2" x25" x 8 lft Maple Butcher Block Countertop:
This was the highest quality product available at the lowest price. There were no complaints at all about the product. I used the product for my kitchen counters, and had a nearby professional shop, cut the sink opening and ends to size. Everything worked out perfectly, and the end product was cheaper than tile, and a lot easier. The fellows who loaded it in my car were very helpful.

I used this product to add charm to my country kitchen. I am very happy with the coloring after adding several coats of mineral oil. They are beautiful!
Comments about Williamsburg Butcher Block Co. 1 1/2" x25" x 8 lft Maple Butcher Block Countertop:
It's fair value for the price. The grain and color are not as high quality as the butcher block I've used before, but it cost half as much, so no complaints.

Comments about Williamsburg Butcher Block Co. 1 1/2" x25" x 8 lft Maple Butcher Block Countertop:
The maple butcher block is a fabulous product, a wonderful choice for finishing our new kitchen. The craftmanship is great. The maple is incredibly hard wood that almost burned the router. We sanded it and applied 2 coats of water base wipe-on polyurethane. Finished with 2 coats of satin Spar Urethane and the counter is water proof and glowing. Only drawback, it's too beautiful to use! (We have plenty of cutting boards handy.)

Comments about Williamsburg Butcher Block Co. 1 1/2" x25" x 8 lft Maple Butcher Block Countertop:
I bought 2 12 ft because I needed a 9 1/2 x 40" island top. Biscuit jointed (Very easy) for added stability and glued the 2 sections together lengthwise. Cut the end off to length, ripped to width. Worked out great! Here's the kicker! We made cutting boards out of the scrap. We had enough wood for 8 14x10's and 8 14x12's sold at[$] respectively. The cutting boards paid for our counter top. If you don't have an outlet to sell the boards, they would make nice gifts.

Comments about Williamsburg Butcher Block Co. 1 1/2" x25" x 8 lft Maple Butcher Block Countertop:
We used the butcher block for an island in our large kitchen upstairs. We liked how it turned out so much that when we finished off our basement with a small kitchen we decided to do the butcher block again. For the wider island we just ripped two counter tops and glued them together so we have a finished side all the way around (counter tops are only finished on one side). The seam blends right in the butcher block.

Comments about Williamsburg Butcher Block Co. 1 1/2" x25" x 8 lft Maple Butcher Block Countertop:
I just remodeled my whole kitchen making it a gourmet cooks dream. I created a large granite island with a granite serving bar. But, because I cook so much, I didn't want a surface that needed much maintenance. So - I purchased 30+ feet of the maple countertop. WOW! You talk about value and good looks. Everyone that comes into my house always compliments on my high dollar countertops... and to think - I spent less than $500.00 on these NO NAME BRAND countertops. Easy to cut, easy to install, easy to finish, and easy to maintain. You can pay a whole lot more for maple countertops, but you won't find anything any nicer - especially at these prices. All my future homes and rental property will have these countertops in them!! THANKS LUMBER LIQUIDATORS FOR OPENING A STORE IN LITTLE ROCK, AR

Choosing a parafin finish means repeated applications. If one chose to use a chemical finish such as varnish it would be a simple process.
