The Homestead Butcher Block Kitchen Island

The Homestead Butcher Block Kitchen Island exemplifies traditional butcher block style. Made from solid Northern Hard Rock Maple, this butcher block kitchen island features a hefty five-inch-thick butcher block top set on sturdy hard rock maple legs with subtle carved accents. At nearly 3 feet tall, this butcher block provides the ideal locale for food preparation tasks. The natural maple base features a slatted lower shelf and a seamless utensil drawer hidden in the apron. Built with only the finest materials and the highest quality craftsmenship, this beautiful butcher block serves not only as a perfect kitchen island workstation but also as a fine furniture piece that will command attention wherever it is placed and complement any decor.

The Homestead Butcher Block features a 5" thick Northern Hard Rock Maple butcher block with end-grain construction. The end-grain work surface is easy on knives; during cutting or chopping, the end grain wood fibers absorb the impact of the blade, which keeps knives sharper longer. The malleable and forgiving end grain surface is resistant to nicks and gouges, which prevents bacteria from entering the wood, keeps the board looking new longer and increases its longevity. The surface of the Homestead Butcher Block features a Boos Block Cream Finish with Beeswax that penetrates deeply into the grains of the wood, leaving a silky wax barrier to lock moisture in. This finish can be maintained with John Boos Mystery Oil or Boos Board Cream.

Some of the steps they take to accomplish their "green" status include manufacturing wood products that emit far less carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, methane and other gases than processing non-wood substitutes; using only formaldehyde free and low emission formaldehyde gluing processes in manufacturing our butcher blocks; and having active recycling programs in place with 95% of all raw materials, scrap, and even their sawdust recycled as fuel to heat their kilns. Boos'sawdust is also recycled as livestock bedding for their local agricultural needs.
