Oak Butchers Block Worktops

Oak timber has an abundance of character, which can be clearly seen in the Oak butcher’s block. With its golden tones, unique grain patterns and rustic charm, this hard wearing wood gives a traditional feel to a modern kitchen design. Whether paired with wood or used to soften the look of hard materials such as granite, quartz and marble, oak adds a tactile warmth to your design.   

The butcher’s block is made from staves (blocks) which are fused together vertically instead of horizontally, as in a standard worktop. This leaves the end grain exposed and creates a hard wearing surface with the distinct checkerboard effect. The strong end grain creates a naturally anti-bacterial surface and an exceptionally hardwearing area, which is perfect for chopping, cutting and food preparation.

Butchers Block in Oak

As well as looking beautiful and adding uniqueness to your kitchen, the oak butcher’s block is also very practical. They reduce the risk of damaging worktops when chopping boards cannot be quickly found and do not blunt the cutting edge of knives. They also reduce the need to use valuable cupboard space to store multiple boards.   

Due to the individual age lines of the oak shown in the end grain and the design of the butcher’s block, each block is unique. The blocks are available in a variety of sizes, and thicknesses, to suit your needs and kitchen design. To give your kitchen a distinctive look, which will only improve as the years go on and your block grows in character.   

The butchers’ blocks are masterfully crafted in the UK and Europe from sustainably sourced oak timbers. This allows you to buy safely in the knowledge that your purchase is not harming the environment. They are finished to an exceptionally high standard, with a 150-grit and are ready for oiling /sealing, which should be completed before installation.
