John Boos mills the distinctive dark wood for countertops, backsplashes and island tops. Edge grain construction, with rails running the length of the countertop, ensures a flat surface. Choose from two finishes, penetrating oil or semi-gloss varnish. Varnished finishes are maintenance-free, but cannot be used as a cutting surface. Oiled countertops can be used as a cutting surface, but must be re-oiled periodically. Sanding cuts before oiling will restore the countertop to its original appearance. The company will make custom cut-outs for sinks. Any cuts made later must be completely sealed for prevent splitting. Countertops come depths ranging from 25" to 48". About $84 a square foot for a straight run of oiled butcher block 25" deep and 1-1/2" thick.
