A butcher block worktop is typically constructed using end grain of a hardwood species such as Oak, Maple or Beech. Our personal preference is oak due to its gorgeous undulating grain and contrasting growth rings.

Worktops are usually between 80 and 100mm thickness and can be produced using square or rectangular timber profiles to give a checkerboard effect from the top

If you are currently researching other kitchen island options it is worth considering an end grain table as it will provide not only a centre piece to the kitchen but also a practical, versatile piece of furniture.

When food prep is needed pulling out the chopping board someties just wont do. You know how it is you cut all your vegetables and other foods up to find you have already run out of space.
