Use and Care Instructions
Butcher block counters will last a long time if taken care of properly. You can cut on the surface of a mineral oil finished counter, if oiled regularly (once a week). A cutting board is recommended on a polyurethane finished counter. Wood can swell and shrink in extreme humidity or dryness; you can help preserve your butcher block by keeping your home humidified in winter. Soap and water or lemon oil can be used to clean the surface of your butcher blocks.
