They are absolutely amazing in our kitchen. We are still deciding on a backsplash but the counters are great. We love them so much we have decided to install them in the master bathroom, but will be sealing them differently.

it's my understanding the recommended overhang is 11"-12". Ours is 11" overhang on the long side and one short side and it is sturdy and looks good. We dry fitted with longer overhangs and it didn't quite l look right.

I am interested in the unfinished Birch butcher block countertop

Asked by Mike April 7, 2021

Answer

Mike-if you wanna cut on this surface mineral oil, butcher block conditioner or linseed oil are your choices. Make sure you do all sides (then install). All take 2-coats initially, another in 10-days (just the top side as its not installed) and then once every 6-months. I use conditioner in my cabin with good results. I also use mineral oil a lot. For some reason I just don't have great results with the linseed oil---however some customers love the stuff.

Using as an Island in the kitchen - what is the best product to seal with?

Answers

Rocky-for a high-traffic area that will not be directly cut on use a floor grade polyurethane. Its awesome. I have 3-kids and a dog that jumps on my countertops and this treatment works excellent.

Can you use this butcher block outside for a bar top, if you could what do you seal it with.

I don’t totally understand the question but you can cut it however you like and just sand down the edges to round them and match. It’s wood all the way through so very flexible.

Gorgeous!
I love how these turned out! I researched a ton before deciding to use Waterlox (Tung oil) to protect the countertops. I put on three coats of the original and then sanded and put a top coat of Satin Waterlox for the final coat. This should protect them for many years and makes the countertop waterproof.

Average quality, not solid wood
Purchased three pieces for our kitchen and mud room. The finished side of all three pieces is of high quality and they look beautiful with proper sealing and treating (we used several coats of waterlox). My gripe is that these are not solid wood all the way through but rather stacked and glued wood. Our sink is a large undermount type and upon cutting the opening we found several large/hollow knots that traveled nearly all the way through that required patching. The appearance of the patch stands out. I also found that another top that was cut to size featured poor (but solid) core wood with a thinner veneer layer at the end and top for a clean finished appearance. They work fine and are if good quality for the asking price. If I were to do it all over I'd recommend spending a bit more and getting them elsewhere if you're going to have exposed cuts.

One side was better finished than the other, but I only needed to show Ione side. Rubbed in 4 coats of Danish oil with the dark walnut stain,, and three coats of wipe-on poly. Made a bathroom countertop and the sink cutout is now a cutting board.

My experience with this butcher block was excellent. The one I received was of great quality, fit and finish was perfect. I ordered the 6 foot block so I could cut it down as an enclosure around a dishwasher. I also sealed it with Rubio Monocoat Pure to bring out the natural grain figure and a beautiful honey color of the Birch.
by Riverjets
Exactly what we wanted for our kitchen!
We used this butcher block for our galley style kitchen. Finished with a water based oil modified polyurethane since we did not want the upkeep of mineral oil and will not prep food directly on the surface. It turned out perfect and the Hardwood Reflections youtube videos were very helpful. I was impressed with the shipping of our 10ft piece- it came in great condition and was sealed very well. We made sure to follow the recommendation to keep it in shrinkwrap and apply finish within 48 hrs of opening (I think this is the most important part to prevent damage).

Surprised to find this is a finished surface with rounded edges, no sanding was required. After 8 coats of polyurethane is has a beautiful durable surface. This was also well packaged to protect the surfaces and the edges. Used it for a kitchen island.
