Butcher block
Butcher block is a style of assembled wood used as heavy duty chopping blocks, table tops, and cutting boards. It was commonly used in butcher shops and meat processing plants but has now become popular in home use. There are two basic styles of butcher block: end grain and edge grain. Butcher blocks have been used extensively for centuries and still are in many European countries. More and more throughout the world many people are starting to use butcher block counters as an option to stone and even laminate countertops. This has created a new industry in the kitchen design arena and many furniture manufacturers and hardwood flooring companies are getting into the production of butcher blocks and butcher block countertops. One reason is that they can use a lot of the wood that are cut offs from their other products to construct the countertops.
