Eastern Butcher Block

White ash is characterized by saying it is the "woodiest" of all the species offered. The distinct grain, bright golds and pale yellows make white ash a showstopper- popular in modern contemporary furniture design. Ash offers beautiful contrast with darker, yet complementary materials and finishes.

Edge-grain butcher block is probably the most popular construction style today. Edge-grain construction is used throughout our entire line-for standard countertops, kitchen islands, commercial food service tops, professional cutting boards and industrial workbench tops. Functionally, edge-grain butcher block is less durable relative to end-grain construction, but still provides an extremely solid work surface. As a cutting surface, edge-grain surfaces perform nearly as well as end-grain surfaces, but do show wear more quickly.

Our standard finish on countertops, islands, commercial foodservice tops, workbench tops and locker bench seats is DURAKRYL 102, a proprietary urethane-based satin finish. It is food-safe, resistant to stains and most solvents, and cleans up with warm soapy water. Stubborn spills or stains can be removed with nail polish remover.

Add a unique design detail. Bring visual continuity to a complementary solid surface. Or tailor a top specific to your work style. There is no better way than by selecting the right edge profile. Wood Welded Butcher Block tops are available finished in a variety of stock and custom edge profiles, including special order options.
