Butcher Block Finishing Tips – Hardwood Reflections

Feel confident in your finish process in your DIY Butcher Block project with 5-ways to finish! John goes through the differences in topcoats on a Beech butcher block, but any of these options will be great on any wood choice. Danish Oil - Easy to finish with a 400 grit sanding between coats Water-based polyurethane - Let's the wood shine through Floor Polyurethane - Let's the wood shine through on heavily used (non-food) countertops. Spray-on Polyurethane - Use this for small projects! Easy to apply because it's sprayed on. Howard Butcher Block Conditioner - Get the block to finish ready with 320 grit and then apply the oil, let it soak in for 30 minutes. After time passes, rub it down to remove any pools or major oil excess. Repeat this oil process 2 or 3 more times when you've installed the countertop into place and set your countertop up for 30+ years of work and beauty with a monthly light coat re-application of the conditioner.
