Why Choose a Custom Butcher Block?
A butcher block is more than just a work surface—it’s a versatile and durable addition to any kitchen or workspace.

With a custom butcher block from Burton Millwork, you can choose the size, style, wood species, and finish that perfectly complements your space and meets your unique requirements.
Our Custom Butcher Block Process
Initial Consultation: We start by discussing your needs and vision for the butcher block. Whether it’s a large countertop, an island top, or a portable cutting board, we take into account the dimensions, materials, and style that will best suit your kitchen or workspace.
Wood Selection: Choose from a variety of high-quality hardwoods, including maple, walnut, oak, and cherry. Each wood species has its own unique characteristics, grain patterns, and colors, allowing you to customize the look and feel of your butcher block.
Design & Build: After selecting the wood, we design your butcher block to your specifications, whether you prefer a traditional end-grain style, edge-grain, or something more unique. Our skilled craftsmen carefully cut, join, and sand the pieces to create a smooth, durable surface.
Finishing Touches: We apply a food-safe finish to protect the wood and enhance its natural beauty. Whether you prefer an oil finish that can be regularly maintained or a more durable finish for heavy-duty use, we’ll tailor the finish to your specific needs.
Delivery & Installation: Once your butcher block is complete, we offer delivery and installation services to ensure it’s perfectly placed in your space. If you’re ordering a custom cutting board, we’ll deliver it ready for use.

FAQs About Custom Butcher Blocks
What wood is best for a butcher block?
Hardwoods like maple, walnut, and oak are ideal for butcher blocks because of their durability and resistance to wear. Maple is a popular choice for its fine grain and light color, while walnut offers a rich, dark tone.
How do I maintain a butcher block?
To keep your butcher block in top condition, apply a food-safe oil regularly to maintain the finish and protect the wood. We recommend oiling your block once a month, or more frequently if you use it daily.
Are butcher block countertops a good choice for my kitchen?
Yes! Butcher block countertops are not only functional and durable but also bring a natural, timeless look to your kitchen. They are easy to clean and can be sanded down if they show signs of wear.
Can you create custom sizes?
Absolutely. We can create butcher blocks in any size, whether you need a large countertop, a kitchen island top, or a small cutting board.
