Know before you buy
End-grain construction is highly durable and gentle on knife blades, making it an ideal surface for heavy-duty chopping and food preparation. Over time, it is more resistant to scarring than standard edge-grain surfaces.
While all available hardwoods are high-quality, woods like Hard Maple and Hickory are denser and offer superior resistance to dents and scratches. Softer woods like Brown Maple provide a smoother grain pattern that takes stains very consistently.
Yes, the Kenton Island offers an extensive selection of stains specifically for Red Oak and Brown Maple bases. We recommend reviewing physical samples in your home lighting to ensure the best possible match with your current cabinetry.
To keep the butcher block in top condition, you should periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil or conditioner to prevent the wood from drying out. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the wood surfaces to maintain the integrity of the finish.
Due to the solid wood construction and weight of the piece, it is typically shipped in a way that requires minimal final assembly or is delivered as a complete unit. Please check your specific delivery confirmation for details on whether the top and base arrive pre-attached.
