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 - Red Oak Butcher Block Countertops
1.

What makes Red Oak a great choice for butcher block countertops?

Red oak is a dependable and attractive hardwood known for its bold grain patterns and natural warmth. Its reddish-brown tones and consistent texture bring a classic, welcoming look to any kitchen. Red oak butcher block countertops offer excellent value, combining everyday performance with a lower price point compared to other hardwoods like maple, walnut or cherry. They’re a smart choice for anyone seeking durability, character, and affordability.

2.

Does Red Oak stand up to daily use as a butcher block countertop?

Yes, red oak is a strong and durable hardwood that performs well in busy kitchens. It stands up to regular use, offering good resistance to wear and impact. While slightly more open-grained than maple, it remains a solid choice for a reliable and long-lasting butcher block. With a Janka Hardness Scale rating of 1,290, red oak delivers a balance of strength and ease of maintenance.

3.

What finish options are available for Red Oak butcher block?

Red oak butcher block countertops can be finished with either food-safe mineral oil or acrylic conversion varnish. Mineral oil is ideal if you plan to prepare food directly on the surface and want to maintain a natural appearance. Conversion varnish, on the other hand, adds a durable protective layer and brings out the grain and color of the wood. Unfinished options are also available for those who prefer to apply their own custom finish.

4.

Is it possible to order a custom Red Oak butcher block?

Yes, red oak butcher block countertops can be tailored to your exact needs. You can choose the dimensions, thickness, finish, and edge profile to match your kitchen layout and style. This flexibility makes it easy to create a custom surface that’s both functional and visually appealing.

We were very satisfied with the butcher block counter top that we received. It is beautiful. We miss measured the back splash and Country Mouldings sent us a new one for 1/2 the price. It was a wonderful gesture on their part and very appreciated. I would totally recommend this company.
