End Grain Butcher Block Countertops

There are several attractive choices available when considering a hardwood countertop style. One of the hottest trending styles is the sturdy, useful, and beautifully rustic end grain butcher block countertop.

At Country Mouldings, you can always count on a meticulously constructed, custom-made piece, created from regionally sourced hardwood, and attentively assembled by highly experienced craftsmen. All you need to do is choose the construction style that best suits your needs and matches your vision. For more and more homeowners, end grain butcher block is that match.

End Grain Butcher Block Countertops
End grain butcher block countertops are made by gluing hardwood boards together so that the end, or cut, surface of each board is at the top, and becomes the surface of the countertop. This unique construction has a number of advantages.

True multi-purpose surface
End grain butcher block is preferred by chefs - both professional and family - for its remarkable ability to smoothly absorb cut marks. The fibers of the premium hardwood actually pull back together after a knife cut, leaving a seamless, beautiful surface. This makes it ideal for food prep work - the light, daily tasks or even a heavy-duty session when needed.


One-of-a-Kind Beauty
One-inch wide blocks of your choice of hardwood, ranging in length from 1-1/2" to 6", create a multi-tonal brickwork look. Given the natural variations in grain and tone of each wood, the result is a singular final product, only found in your own kitchen. This updated version of a traditional look is a stunning addition to any kitchen, from a warm, cozy family home, to an airy, modern professional space.


Premium Durability
The especially dense, solid method of construction used for end grain butcher block results in an exceptionally tough, durable surface. A custom-built countertop of this style will last in both condition and value for years to come. When it comes to kitchen upgrades, lasting beauty, function, and value are highly important.
