The CHEF butcher block kitchen island or cart is handcrafted to order from locally sourced New England sugar maple—known for its durability, tight grain, and naturally sanitary properties. The butcher block top 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 piece includes a container of our in-house butcher block wax to help preserve and protect your island for years to come.

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, customizable in any paint color
A spacious utensil drawer with the Top Knobs Ascendra appliance pull in flat black (custom hardware requests may be possible depending on availability)

What wood options are available for your butcher block tops?

We offer two wood choices: sugar maple and walnut. Sugar maple is our standard option, valued for its durability, resistance to scratches, and low-maintenance care. Walnut provides the same functionality with a warm, rich brown color and natural antimicrobial properties. If you’re interested in walnut, please contact us for pricing, as it’s offered at a different rate.

Can I choose the grain style of the butcher block?

Yes! Our standard butcher blocks are crafted with edge-grain, which offers a clean, uniform look and lasting durability. We also offer end-grain by request, which features a checkered pattern and is especially gentle on knives.

End-grain is available at a different rate—just reach out if you'd like to explore that option and we’re happy to provide pricing.

Please reach out with any questions before purchasing—we’re happy to provide more details about the delivery process!

Clients in most of New England and the NYC metro area will receive white glove delivery.

For clients outside our white glove region, delivery is typically arranged by appointment in one of two ways:

Shipper-Assisted Delivery:

In most cases, your item will be carefully wrapped and delivered without a pallet, helping reduce waste. The shipper will assist with bringing the piece into your home, though you may need an extra set of hands depending on size and weight.

Freight Pallet Delivery:

If shipper-assisted service isn't available in your area, your item will ship flat-packed on a pallet and be delivered to your curbside or driveway. Freight carriers cannot assist with unpacking or placement, so you’ll need help to move and set up the piece once it arrives.

Each piece is made to order in our Connecticut workshop. Measurements are approximate, and slight variations may occur, reflecting the unique nature of handcrafted furniture. Natural wood expands and contracts with the seasons. Due to the handcrafted process, butcher block thickness may vary by approximately ±¹⁄₁₆ inch from sanding and finishing.
