Unfinished Ash 8 ft. L x 25 in. D x 1.5 in. T Butcher Block Countertop

It’s beautiful and light. I’m not putting a stain on it - only sealing with wood oil. I changed from ash to birch and I’m happy I did.

Packaging was awesome, delivery was quick, the this is an ideal product for for many uses.. Easy to sand and stain or seal. 100% a quality product and delivered quickly. Absolutely recommend. Quick sand, Tung Oil or Teak Oil. Boooom. Done.

Love it

I was very excited about getting this installed. It’s a very nice looking countertop. It was easy to install as I had it cut to size. Looks great! However, I’ve had it installed for less than a month and there are already dents in it. I don’t know where they came from or how they got there because I’ve been babying the surface since I had it installed. But I’m definitely not happy with how easily the surface gets banged up. And I know that the surface wouldn’t stay pristine forever. I expected the wood to age. However, not this soon in. I would have purchased a different type of wood had I know how soft it was.

I spent a ton of time deliberating what type of wood to get -- ash, beech, alder, maple? Ultimately decided on the ash, and couldn't be happier. Finished, the wood has the beautiful warm tone I was going for, and the grain pop on the ash is exceptional (thanks for the rec Jake!). The light/dark strips of wood were well balanced and placed, and give the wood a visually interesting "meta-texture". The wood was fairly well sanded when it arrived, though I took it through the paces to ensure there were no rough spots. Both sides looked fairly good, though there was a clear A and B side (B had a few small knots). I finished with General Finishes Satin Arm-R-Seal and this countertop + that finish turned out to be a match made in heaven. The last thing to mention is that this piece of solid ash is HEAVY. I had to work on it and move it around without assistance and needed to use a furniture dolly to wheel it around. And now, I'll let the pictures do the talking!

Thermo process makes this butcher very easy to work with. No warping or moisture issues. Sealed with rubio monocoat oil plus C2 pure (no color).

Cut it in 2 pieces to make 2 shelves for my laundry room. Very high quality piece of wood. Arrived with no damage, almost no blemishes. I purchased a 10 foot piece and it was very heavy, you may need a second person to help maneuver it. Very happy with purchase. I have a left over piece, I am going to use it as a cutting board (after I confirm its food safe). Very happy with the purchase. Have to get it shipped and pay for shipping but its too heavy to pick up anyway. Would purchase again.

I had a good experience and love the results, finished firstly with the mineral oil then realized I need more protection so covered it with 3 layers of oil-based poly.

This piece was a perfect fit for project. It ended up having wonderful look with the gel stain we used.

Purchased this butcher block to top an UpLift adjustable height desk stand. To stain and finish the piece, I purchased two products from Home Depot's line of Hardwood Reflections Butcher Block stains and finishes: Dark Walnut Gel Stain and Satin Topcoat. The butcher block arrived in great condition. Beautiful, heavy, well-crafted piece. A table top of similar quality from UpLift would have been 3x to 4x as expensive. I would highly recommend purchasing HD's gel stains--mentioned above--if you plan on finishing the block. The stains come in a variety of finishes. You can see the progression of raw to stain to finish in the attached photos. The block took the stain and the finish perfectly. Surprisingly, I only ended up using one coat of stain. For the satin topcoat, I rubbed on 4 coats, sanding with very fine sand paper in between coats (no sanding after final coat). The final picture I've attached shows my actual workplace setup, tough to see with the sunlight but that's after a couple months of heavy use. Looks the same as the day I finished it. As far as desk size, I use it with a dual monitor setup with keyboard and mouse. It's enough room for me. Could not be happier with how the quality and look of the piece. I've seen others use this butcher block in the kitchen. Don't overlook it for the office as well...worked out great for me.
