Please note: The Industrial Maple Countertop is not recommended for food service use.
Whether you’re tinkering idly in the garage or you’re performing serious precision work, the Industrial Maple Countertop creates a reliable and sturdy workstation where you can complete any task. This Hard Rock Maple tabletop stands 1.75" thick and measures 48" wide, giving you room to lay out anything from plans for a new building to the pieces of your newest puzzle. Solidly designed to withstand pounding and puttering alike, the Industrial Maple Countertop will bring a little extra room and a lot of reliability wherever you need it.
Our butcher block counters are made by John Boos, the leading manufacturer of butcher blocks and a staple in the commercial cooking industry. John Boos butcher block counter tops are manufactured from the finest northern hard rock maple and feature jointed flat-grain construction. Rails are cut, selected, and matched for appearance, thus assuring the uniformly rich and clean appearance that is desired by many discriminating customers. These rails are bonded edge to edge with FDA-approved adhesives and then subjected to applied heat under enormous pressure to build the counter top. It is extremely difficult to process natural wood into a product that provides the desired uniformity and appearance that customers prefer, but John Boos & Co. has been doing an excellent job of it for more than 100 years. John Boos remains the standard by which all other butcher block countertops are measured.
This butcher block countertop comes standard with a natural oil finish that can be quickly wiped clean with a damp cloth. If scars or stains do appear, they can be easily removed by sanding the area. An application of mineral oil brings the area back to like-new condition. If you would like to purchase mineral oil for your natural oil counter top, you can add a 3-pack of John Boos Mystery Oil or Beeswax Board Cream to your order using the drop-down menu above. Each bottle of oil is 15 oz. and each tube of cream is 5 oz.
You may also purchase your butcher block with a Varnique semi-gloss finish. Varnique semi-gloss butcher block counters are virtually maintenance free, easy to clean with mild soap and warm water, and resistant to most household chemicals. The Varnique semi-gloss finish seals and protects the wood, and gives your butcher block counter a fine furniture look; however, Varnique semi-gloss surfaces are not meant to be cut upon directly. Use the drop-down menu above to select a Varnique semi-gloss finish.

John Boos & Co is firmly committed to managing environmental matters as an integral part of their business practice. Some of the steps they take to accomplish their “green" status include manufacturing wood products that emit far less carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, methane and other gases than processing non-wood substitutes; using only formaldehyde free and low emission formaldehyde gluing processes in manufacturing our butcher blocks; and having active recycling programs in place with 95% of all raw materials, scrap, and even their sawdust recycled as fuel to heat their kilns. Boos'sawdust is also recycled as livestock bedding for their local agricultural needs.
