What a magnificent Dining Table. The top and the and the painted base work in concert to give this butcher block table a very rich look. It seems to have split the line dividing shaker and modern lifestyle furniture. One can just imagine Thanksgiving on this dining table.

A Buther Block tradition
Detroit Showroom
Futura Custom Kitchens of Detroit put this beautiful top on the sales floor. It is a perfect example of how a wood top can be used in a kitchen. The soft glow of light reflecting off the 3" ogee edge sometimes called "shouldering" is precisely why this top is so popular.

Canadian Showroom
M.L.M. Millwork of Quebec Canada is displaying this custom top. The distributor was
Robert Bury & Co. The top features an unusual thickness at 88" x 21" x 2" thick. With the rounded ends it would make for great traffic patterns in almost any kitchen. The customer stained this top to blend in nicely with the base unit. This is another great example of "kitchen furniture" which blends the function of a working island with the beauty of furniture found perhaps in the traditional dining room.

Kitchen Furniture
This top combines with the base unit to create a piece of "kitchen furniture" which is both functional and beautiful. This is the freedom Butcher Block tops allow the designer. This top was fashioned out of one of our standard rectangular tops by a fabricator in the field.

These display units are in the kitchenware’s section and look fantastic. This is of course aside from the fact they are also very functional.

The top is actually suspended from the ceiling making for a very interesting installation indeed.

This is the typical installation you will find in schools across the country. These particular tops are in the art room and make a durable and aesthetically pleasing installation.

And don’t forget we also make locker benches for the gymnasium or carving boards for the cafeteria.
