"What began in the late 1900s as a near-indestructible surface for blacksmiths and butchers, these blocks have become popular choices for home kitchens, thanks in no small part to Julia Child, whose 38-inch maple wood countertop captured hearts across America. Home Depot's website lists countertops made from six types of wood: birch, walnut, maple, hevea, saman, and acacia. The Birch Wood Butcher Block, approximately four feet in length,"
Butcher block countertops originated in the late 1900s as durable surfaces for blacksmiths and butchers and later gained popularity in home kitchens. Julia Child's 38-inch maple countertop helped popularize the style. Home Depot offers countertops in birch, walnut, maple, hevea, saman, and acacia, with sizes including approximately four-foot Birch and eight-foot Saman island options. Customers frequently give five-star ratings and praise quality, appearance, and delivery. The Saman block features a wavy grain and live edge that stands out. Some shoppers condition the wood with beeswax and mineral oil. Consistency issues have been reported.
