Finishing Choices

If your butcher block will not be used for any food preparation, conversion varnish is the recommended choice.

Unfinished: Apply the finish of your choice. All butcher blocks must be sealed and finished. There are many choices available from your local paint store, online and various other outlets. The butcher block you will receive will be fully sanded. Light sanding may still be required before and between coats of finish. You can also stain your butcher block countertop prior to finishing. If you will be preparing food directly on the block, please check the label or with the finish manufacturer to determine if it is food safe. Most stains are not food safe.

Mineral Oil: Two coats of a food safe mineral oil are applied to all surfaces. After you receive your butcher block, you should apply one coat of mineral oil to the top surface daily for one week, and monthly thereafter. You should also apply one coat of mineral oil to the sides, edges and any exposed areas underneath on this same schedule. Frequency of application can vary, but it is important to keep the butcher block well oiled. Food safe mineral oil is available at most drug stores. This is appropriate if the butcher block may be used for food preparation.

Conversion Varnish: Three coats of our 45 sheen, catalyzed, commercial grade conversion varnish are applied to the top surface. Our conversion varnish contains acrylic for extra durability. Two coats are applied to all other surfaces. This is not appropriate if the butcher block may be used for food preparation.

FAQ - Ash Butcher Block Countertops

1. Why choose ash for my butcher block countertop?
Ash is an excellent choice for butcher block countertops because of its inviting light tones and striking grain patterns. The sapwood is pale and nearly white, while the heartwood displays warm shades of yellow and brown, giving the countertop a natural elegance. Ash butcher blocks offer the perfect balance of strength and visual appeal, making them a practical and beautiful addition to kitchens. They are also versatile enough to enhance both classic and contemporary spaces, adding charm and warmth as they age.

2. Is ash a durable wood for butcher block countertops?
Absolutely, ash wood is a durable and reliable material for butcher block countertops. Known for its toughness, ash holds up well to regular kitchen use, including cutting and food preparation. While slightly less dense than maple, ash is robust enough to resist wear and ensures long-lasting performance with proper care. Its durability and strength make it a dependable choice for anyone looking for a sturdy, functional surface. Ash has a rating of 1320 on the Janka Hardness Scale.

3. What is the best finish for ash countertops?
To protect and enhance the natural beauty of ash countertops, an acrylic conversion varnish is a great option. This finish provides excellent moisture resistance while showcasing the wood’s unique grain patterns. For those who prefer to prepare food directly on the countertop, a mineral oil finish is the safe and practical choice. While mineral oil requires regular maintenance, it keeps the surface conditioned and brings out the warm tones of the wood.

4. Can ash butcher block countertops be customized?
Yes, ash butcher block countertops can be fully customized to fit your specific needs. You can choose the thickness, width and length, as well as the finish and edge profile.
