Finishing A Butcher Block Countertop. It is food-safe and inexpensive to use compared to some commercial-grade finishes. Remember I have maple if I were to have say Walnut it would give you a very dark finish.
Maintenance would sure be simple. Turn the butcher block over and finish the top and sides of the block. Polyurethane for butcher block countertops.
If you want custom butcher block countertops made you can expect to pay anywhere from 75 to 150 per square foot.
That said I would be inclined to finish your countertop with a butcher block or salad bowl finish or possibly just mineral oil some nontoxic oil-based finish that would be easy to replenish when the surface begins to look dry. It also helps make the countertop durable so it lasts a long time. While sanding and finishing always remember to.
