Big Bison Maple Butcher Block - 36x25 Inch Countertop
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut and chop on the countertop?
Yes, our wood countertops are made for direct cutting and food preparation. The final finish we use is a mineral oil and wax based sealer that is food safe. Please note that just like any wood cutting board, cutting directly on the surface will leave marks on the wood.
Is maintenance required?
Yes. Since our butcher blocks are not varnished, you will need to apply a food safe mineral oil every month to ensure the wood does not dry out. Properly maintaining a countertop ensures that there is no warping, cracking and helps prevent stains as well.
How do I clean the top?
Warm soap and water is all that we recommend to clean, so long as proper maintenance has taken place. Never use bleach or harsh chemicals, as it will discolor the wood.
Are installation instructions included? Can I do it myself? Is it DIY friendly?
Yes! All of our tops include full installation instructions and diagrams of how to properly install the countertops. Installating a countertop is relatively easy process that should take about 45 to 60 minutes depending on the size.
Is the countertop reversible? Are there knots or defects?
As our wood countertops are designed to be installed in place, our tops are non-reversible. This means that any wood defects (knots, wind shake and filler) will be on the underside of the countertop and not visible to the eye. For the visible areas of the countertop, we guarantee that the wood is clear of major defects.
Can I join multiple countertops together?
Our countertops can definitely be joined, but we recommend using a skilled contractor who has experience with field joins. Do *not* use glue to join the ends or sides of a countertop.
