Shop Butcher Block Counter Tops by Grain Style...

Butcher Block Co. offers top-quality butcher block counter tops in both end- and edge-grain construction!

Edge grain butcher block tops feature parallel wood rails that span that length of the piece. Our edge grain butcher blocks feature full length wood rails with no unsightly butt ends or finger joints, as well as minimal color variation and mineral streaks. They also feature a true flat surface and uniform thickness throughout.

End grain butcher block tops are built by fusing together the end pieces of wood rails into a classic checkerboard pattern. Our end grain butcher blocks are often the first choice of pro chefs because the end grain construction is the strongest and most durable. End grain butcher blocks are also easy on knives. During cutting or chopping, the end grain wood fibers absorb the impact of the knife blade; this keeps knives sharper longer and also helps prevent nicks and gouges, which extends the life of the butcher block top and also helps prevent bacteria from entering the wood. End grain construction often has more character, meaning the wood can have more color variation, and the end joints can vary slightly in size, creating a unique pattern in each end grain block.

Both our end grain and edge grain butcher block tops are available in cherry, walnut, and hard rock maple. Our edge grain tops are also available in Appalachian red oak. Click below to view our collection of butcher block counter tops!
