How to Get It
Product Overview
The strength and shock resistance of ash makes it incredibly popular in the woodworking community, although its incredible beauty and smooth, uniform grain can also play a supporting role. Ash butcher block countertops display a lovely blonde hue to add warmth and soft elegance to your home. They're easy to install and can be refinished time and time again. Countertops are made of solid wood staves which are finger jointed and edge glued for a classic butcher block look. A variety of species are available so you can pick a color and style that works for your space. The countertops are sold unfinished, giving you freedom to customize your piece. Remember that wood is a product of nature. The allure of a pure wood product is that no two grain patterns, textures or colors are identical. Wood is affected by soil contents, climate, growth patterns and many other factors. These wonderfully unique features will ensure a one of a kind look for your remodel. Differences in grain, coloring or mineral streaking, as it occurred in nature, will not be considered a defect or reason for a replacement. Wood will also change with time, gradually responding to its environment, and aging with beauty.
- Completely customizable with stain and/or finish of your choice
- 100% wood
- Finger jointed slats to maximum strength
- Butcher block countertops available in many species, as well as standard, desktop and island sizes
- Adds functional flow and warmth to your home
- Butcher block comes unfinished. Further sanding and finishing will be required.
- Seal butcher block within 24 hours of removing plastic to prevent warping and cracking
- Stain can be used for style purposes, but is not necessary and only needs to be used on the area that is visible
- May be used as countertop, desktop, island, table, workbench or any creative idea you have.
- Each block has an A (upper) and B (bottom) side. A side will be more pristine while B side will be more rustic and imperfect.

Perfect light wood color and texture!
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.

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.

Properly finished, this wood is gorgeous
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!

Ash is a great pick when choosing among the lot of them! I have always been impressed with General Finishes products on our butcher block. Thank you for the review.

Beautiful piece of wood
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.

Right on! These ash tops are awesome! Lots of our own employees choose this as their countertops. Yes you can use the rest as a cutting board. Just add some mineral oil.

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.

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.
