CHEF Butcher Block Kitchen Island or Cart

Our CHEF butcher block kitchen island or cart is handcrafted to order from locally sourced New England sugar maple, celebrated for its durability, tight grain, and naturally sanitary properties.

The CHEF’s standard design includes:

  • A 3-inch thick edge grain butcher block top, ideal for direct chopping and slicing.
  • A solid maple base with a stationary design that can be painted in any color of your choice.
  • A spacious utensil drawer featuring the TOP KNOBS Ascendra appliance pull in flat black. (The pull color can be customized from Top Knobs’ available finishes, or let us know your hardware preference, and we’ll do our best to accommodate.)

Customization options include:

  • Casters for mobility (+$150).
  • Painted maple shelves to complement your decor (+$125).
  • Additional side pulls for enhanced functionality (+$350).
  • A 12-inch drop leaf for expanded workspace (+$495).

To protect its natural beauty, the butcher block is conditioned with a blend of beeswax and food-safe mineral oil, while the solid maple shelves are treated with a natural hardening oil. Each CHEF island or cart showcases the unique characteristics of its maple, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike.

Lead time: Approximately 6-8 weeks

What wood options are available for your butcher block tops?

We offer two choices for our butcher blocks: sugar maple and walnut. Sugar maple is our standard option, prized for its durability, resistance to scratches and water, and ease of cleaning. Walnut offers the same durability and functionality with a warm, rich brown color and naturally antimicrobial properties. If you’re interested in walnut, please reach out to discuss pricing, as it is offered at a different rate.

Can I choose the grain style of the butcher block?

Yes, we offer both edge grain and end grain butcher block tops. Edge grain has a sleek, uniform look, while end grain features a distinctive checkered appearance. Both options are gentle on knives and help minimize visible wear over time. If you’d like to explore either option further, feel free to send us a message!
