Our butcher block countertops are built with care using premium American hardwoods and designed to perform in kitchens, workshops, and commercial spaces alike.

Every space is different. We offer a wide range of widths, lengths, and thicknesses so you can find the right fit for your needs. Whether it’s a kitchen island or a full work surface, we have you covered.
Two Finish Options
Choose between a natural oil finish that brings out the warmth of the wood or a varnish finish that offers long-lasting protection with easy upkeep.
Wood Options to Match Your Style
Whether you’re designing a modern kitchen, a rustic island, or a professional work surface, the right wood sets the tone. Tidewater Lumber & Mouldings Co. can make countertops in any wood options.
Our Popular Wood Options
Northern Hard Rock Maple
Northern Hard Rock Maple is a dense, durable hardwood known for its light color and clean, uniform grain. It’s a classic choice for butcher block countertops, offering strength, longevity, and a timeless look that suits any style.
American Black Walnut
Known for its deep chocolate tones and rich grain patterns, walnut adds elegance and warmth to any space. It’s a popular choice for those looking to create contrast or highlight natural materials in their interiors.
American Cherry
Cherry wood features warm reddish-brown tones that deepen beautifully over time. Its smooth grain and glowing finish make it a favorite for inviting, refined spaces that feel both comfortable and sophisticated.
White Oak
White Oak is a highly versatile and durable hardwood prized for its strength, stability, and timeless appearance. With heartwood ranging from light to medium brown and a hint of olive or gray, White Oak offers a clean, classic look that pairs well with a wide range of finishes.
Wormy Maple
Wormy Maple brings a rustic, time-worn charm to the wood, making it a popular choice for farmhouse-style furniture, paneling, and vintage-inspired interiors.
Two Unique Finishes Crafted for Your Needs
Our butcher block countertops come in two professional finishes to suit your needs. Choose a natural oil finish for a warm, food-safe surface, or go with Varnique for a durable, low-maintenance sheen that resists moisture and daily wear. Both enhance the beauty of the wood while offering lasting protection.
Natural Oil Finish
A food-safe, hand-rubbed oil that soaks into the wood for a warm, natural look. Ideal for surfaces used for cutting or food prep. Easy to refresh with light sanding and re-oiling.
Varnique Finish
A semi-gloss polyurethane coating that resists moisture and household chemicals. Perfect for island bars and high-use surfaces. Low maintenance and easy to clean with soap and water.
