These butcher block countertops are made in the USA by John Boos & Co. Hard rock maple is the most popular North American hardwood because of its hardness and durability, as well as its neutral color palatte. Blended-style butcher blocks are constructed using wood pieces of varying length to create the interior rails of the block, whereas the outermost rails feature wood strips that run the full length and width of the block. The result is a pleasing array of creams and light-to-medium browns – suitable for almost any kitchen. These particular counter tops are 1-1/2 inches thick, 25 inches wide, 84 inches long, and finished with food-safe natural oil (for tops you intend to cut upon). MAPLE BLENDED KCT 84X25X1-1/2 OIL
