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.
Why choose Character Maple for a butcher block countertop?
Character Maple is a nice choice if you want a butcher block countertop with plenty of natural charm and distinct features. It often includes small knots, natural variations, and interesting grain patterns. It is a reliable hardwood that brings personality to any space.
How strong is Character Maple for a butcher block countertop?
Character Maple is still Hard Maple. It is very strong and durable for everyday use. The natural knots and variations do not affect the strength. You get all the unique character along with the dependability of a regular Hard Maple butcher block.
What finish options are available for Character Maple butcher block countertops?
Character Maple can be finished in different ways. If you want a food safe finish that highlights the natural look, mineral oil is a good choice.

For something a little more durable and lower maintenance, our conversion varnish provides strong protection and a nice semi gloss look. You can also leave it unfinished if you would like to apply a finish on site.
