Butchers block countertops

[JJ Williams]

Does anyone have butchers block in their STR?

How are they holding up? 

What did you use to protect the wood?

any major issues with stains or knife damage?

[John Underwood]

Butcher block is not a good choice for a STR.

We had a wooden island that we finished ourselves and knife marks were on it in no time. We ended up getting a glass top cut for it.
