Butcher Block Bar Tops FAQs

Whether you are a restaurant or bar owner, or a home owner renovating your kitchen, we have the perfect custom butcher block bar top for you! Here are just some of the common questions we get about our oak or maple butcher block:

Can you use butcher block for a bar top?

Yes, butcher block can be an excellent choice for a bar top. Butcher block is durable, provides a warm and natural aesthetic, and can serve as a functional surface for food preparation if needed. However, it's important to remember that butcher block is made from wood, which means it's porous. For bar top applications, where the surface might be exposed to liquids, stains, and potential wear, you'll want to ensure that the butcher block is properly sealed and finished. This not only protects the wood but also maintains its beauty over time.

What is the best finish for a butcher block bar top?

Selecting the right finish for a butcher block bar top will depend on aesthetic, utility, and maintenance. While mineral oil finishes are food-safe and enhance the wood's innate beauty, they require frequent reapplication and offer limited moisture resistance. Waterlox or tung oil finishes strike a balance by offering both protection and a natural appearance, and they are food-safe once cured. Polyurethane is also a strong contender, but it's typically not food-safe. Epoxy provides a lustrous, resilient finish suitable for busy bar areas. Lastly, butcher block or beeswax can complement an oil finish, delivering a smoother texture with added protection.

Can you permanently seal butcher block bar tops?

Many butcher block owners prefer to permanently seal their butcher block surface. While no sealant offers absolute permanence, some finishes give long-lasting protection to butcher block bar tops. Epoxy finishes form a robust, water-resistant shield that can endure for years. Polyurethane also provides strong resistance against moisture and wear, but might need periodic reapplication. Despite their durability, these finishes might still require maintenance due to natural wood movement and daily use. Regular checks and timely maintenance ensure that the bar top remains protected.

How do you seal butcher block bar tops?

Sealing butcher block bar tops involves a multi-step process. First, sand the surface smoothly to remove any imperfections. Next, clean it to eliminate dust. Depending on your desired finish, you can then apply mineral oil for a food-safe option; however, it requires frequent reapplications. For longer-lasting protection, consider using Waterlox, tung oil, or polyurethane, applying multiple thin coats, and allowing adequate drying time between each. Epoxy can offer a glossy and highly resilient finish. After any sealing, always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for best results and ensure regular maintenance to prolong the seal's effectiveness.
