Butcher Block aka "The Butcher"

A few weeks ago, after the island cabinets were installed, they came to measure for the butcher block.  Our butcher block was custom made by Concept Giroux.  Today it is being delivered.

Here is it in all it's beauty.

The circular hole is for the compost bucket.  So now we can chop and throw with ease.  The rectangle will house our island sink.

So pretty.  And yes we cut on the butcher. It does not show our cuts.  The colour of the butcher is the actual colour of the wood.  It is protected by mineral oil, which is food safe.
